The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Umm Habībah to take a ritual bath when she asked him about what she had to do concerning her non-menstrual vaginal bleeding.

The regular blood women discharge is that of menstruation in a number of days monthly. It has signs that women can recognize.
