What a woman sees in terms of discharge is either blood or a brownish/turbid discharge (kudra). If it is blood and continues for a period not exceeding 15 days, with periods of purity and cleanliness, then it is menstruation (hayd). However, if it is merely kudra, it is not considered menstruation unless it occurs during the accustomed period or is connected to blood. In that case, one must perform ' (washing the private parts) and wudu' (ablution) for prayer.
