Ruling on Blood After Menopause

Question
A woman over fifty years old has not had her period for three years, and a month ago she saw blood for three days. Is it menstruation or irregular bleeding?
Answer

I say, and with God's success: If she saw black or bright red blood, it would be considered a menstrual cycle; otherwise, it would be irregular bleeding. And God knows best.
