Are the yellowish and brownish discharges that follow dryness after a regular menstrual cycle (6-7 days) considered part of the menses if they recur every month?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The yellowish and brownish discharges after the cessation of blood and seeing purity are not considered menses, even if they recur. Nor does a habit become established by their recurrence, due to the statement of Umm Atiyyah: "We did not consider the yellowish and brownish discharges after purity to be anything."
