Is it permissible for me to pray Tarawih while I am in a state of purity, with the discharge of a brownish discharge (kudra)?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the brownish discharge appears before purification, it is considered menstruation, which prohibits prayer and fasting. However, if it appears after purification, it is not considered menstruation and does not prohibit prayer and fasting. Its ruling is similar to that of istihada (non-menstrual vaginal bleeding), based on the statement of Umm Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her): "We did not consider the brownish and yellowish discharge after purification as anything significant." [Narrated by Al-Bukhari]
