Is it obligatory to wash the bedding if menstrual blood is on clothes but has left no trace on the bedding? And is a woman considered pure if she sees yellowish or brownish discharge after her period has ended? And is someone who abandons making up the prayers missed during menstruation considered an infidel? And is it true that dry impurity does not transfer? And do natural discharges not necessitate Istinja’ (washing of private parts) or Wudu’ (ablution)?

It is not obligatory to wash the bedding if there is doubt about the transfer of impurity. A woman knows the cessation of menstruation by dryness or the white discharge. She inserts a cloth into the external part of her vulva; if she sees yellowish or brownish discharge connected to blood, she is still menstruating. It is not obligatory for a woman to make up missed prayers during menstruation, by consensus. As for the prayer during whose time menstruation began, some scholars say it is not obligatory to make it up, though making it up is more cautious. Dry impurity does not transfer if what it touches is also dry. Normal vaginal discharge is pure but nullifies ablution.
