Yellowish or brownish discharge is considered menstruation if it occurs during the habitual period or is connected to blood. If a woman sees purity, then sees yellowish discharge after her habitual period has ended, it is not considered menstruation. However, if it occurs during her habitual period, she must perform (ritual bath) when she sees purity. Then, if she sees blood, or yellowish, or brownish discharge during her habitual period, she reverts to being in a state of menstruation, and there is no specific duration for this, according to the more authoritative opinion.
