Question:
السلام علیکم
Is menstruation considered to have commenced if there is no flow but when putting a tissue there it becomes stained??
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Answer:
Yes, menstruation begins once someone sees that they have bled, even if it is not significantly flowing [1]. This includes blood that is only seen after wiping with a tissue.
Only Allah ﷻ knows best.

طَاهِرَةٌ رَأَتْ عَلَى الْكُرْسُفِ أَثَرَ الدَّمِ يُحْكَمُ بِحَيْضِهَا مِنْ حِينِ الرَّفْعِ
