She saw blood ten days after her period

Question
A woman had her period for (7) days, then she became pure and (15) days passed since her purity, and on the tenth day specifically, she saw blood. Does this count as istihada (irregular bleeding) or menstruation?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: what she saw was the blood of istihada (irregular bleeding); because there must be a separation of at least 15 days between two menstrual periods, and here the condition was not met, so it was istihada, and God knows best.
