Is the light bleeding or brownish discharge that occurs for two or three days, or merely as drops, after inserting a birth control implant considered menstrual bleeding, and what is the ruling concerning the prayers I performed during its discharge?

The minimum duration of menstruation, according to the majority of scholars, is one day and one night. If the blood flow stops in less than that, it is considered (non-menstrual bleeding). If the blood you see, along with any yellowish or brownish discharge connected to it, reaches a day and a night, then it is menstruation, and prayer is not permissible during it. A (ritual bath) is obligatory after its cessation. Your prayers while menstruating are invalid, and we hope that you bear no sin for your ignorance of the ruling.
