This applies to the transition between the few days of menstruation and the extended days. However, if it exceeds ten days, any further blood is no longer considered menstruation, as previously explained. Regarding his mention of performing ablution before the ritual bath (ghusl), it has been clarified earlier that none of the ritual baths replace the obligation of ablution except for the ghusl of janabah. This has been discussed sufficiently earlier, as Allah سبحانه وتعالى willed. As for the mention of rinsing the mouth (madhmadah) and sniffing water into the nostrils (istinshaq), these are Sunnah practices, as previously explained in the section on purification. Regarding the order of ghusl, this has also been addressed in the section on the ghusl of janabah, where further explanation and clarity are provided, as Allah سبحانه وتعالى willed, with additional elaboration where necessary.
