What is the legal standard for fulfilling a vow to perform a ten-rak'ah prayer, and is it every time blood appears outside of the menstrual period due to an incidental cause like a wound or itching, or every time the blood exceeds 15 days and then ceases?
We advise the questioner, who is afflicted with obsessive thoughts (waswasah), to completely disregard them and pay no attention to them, for whoever indulges in them will ruin their life.
Regarding the vow (), her vow to pray ten rak'ahs upon recovery does not require repetition unless she had made that vow with the wording "whenever." Since she fulfilled the vow once, she has discharged her obligation.
We also note that the preponderant opinion is that yellowish and brownish discharges are considered menstruation only during the customary period, and whatever appears outside of it is not menstruation. The mentioned is narrated in Bukhari with the wording: "We used not to consider the yellowish and brownish discharges as anything." As for irregular bleeding (), it is a discharge of corruption that issues from a vein in the lower womb and does not prevent one from fasting or praying.
