What is the ruling regarding the Asr prayer performed while there were brown secretions mixed with blood, and what is the ruling regarding subsequently abandoning the Maghrib and Isha prayers?
Brown discharge observed during the menstrual period is considered menstruation and is called "al-Kudrah." It prohibits prayer and other acts of worship, and it is not necessary for it to be accompanied by clear blood. One must beware of obsessive thoughts (waswas) concerning purity, prayer, and other matters. The cure for such thoughts is to seek refuge in Allah from them and to turn away from them, for Satan whispers to those who turn towards Allah. The servant must remain steadfast, patient, and adhere to remembrance (dhikr) and prayer.
