What is the ruling regarding the prayers of the days preceding the appearance of the white discharge, when the blood flow stops and something dark is discharged?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

These dark discharges, known as yellowish and brownish discharges, are considered menstruation if they are connected to blood, and therefore the prayers of those days are not to be made up. However, if they are not connected to blood, or occur outside the usual time, they are not considered menstruation and do not prevent prayer. In this case, the woman must make up the prayers she missed, thinking they were due to menstruation.
