The blood discharges of a woman are menses unless proven otherwise

Question:

I mothered a baby before four months and I am breastfeeding. Since two days, I had some discontinuous blood discharges. I usually have menses nine months after giving birth. Is this considered menses or post menstruation bleeding?

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

 

In principle the blood discharges that a woman has if she has not given birth to a child are menses, unless there is evidence which proves that it is a post menstruation bleeding. Therefore, the blood discharges that you have are menses and you are required to do what applies to a woman in menses. 

Allaah Knows best.
