The question

Is the brownish discharge after seeing the dry-up and the white discharge considered menstruation if the monthly period is longer? And is the pink blood, brownish discharge, and yellowish discharge that appears thereafter considered menstruation or istihada (non-menstrual vaginal bleeding)? What is the ruling on fasting the days during which these discharges occurred? And is it necessary to wait for the brownish discharges to end before fasting prior to Ramadan?

The answer

Yellowish or brownish discharge is considered menses if it occurs during the accustomed period. If the bleeding stops and then returns within fifteen days, it is also considered menses. The period of purity that interrupts menstruation is a valid purity. If the duration of bleeding exceeds fifteen days, the woman becomes a mustahadah (experiencing prolonged vaginal bleeding not considered menstruation). She must take precautions and perform ablution for every prayer after its time has begun, and she can pray the obligatory prayers and as many supererogatory prayers as she wishes.
