Are the hours during which no brown or yellow discharge is released considered dryness, and what is the ruling concerning the brown or yellow discharge that is released after this period?
Yellowish and brownish discharges are not considered menses unless they are connected to blood or occur during the usual time of menstruation.
The purity (tuhur) that interrupts menstruation is a valid purity.
Therefore, if the yellowish or brownish discharge is connected to blood or occurs during the usual time of menstruation, it is menses. When it ceases, the woman should perform ghusl (ritual bath) and pray. If the yellowish or brownish discharge returns, it is not considered menses unless it occurs during the usual time of menstruation.
However, if the yellowish or brownish discharge is not connected to blood and does not occur during the usual time of menstruation, it is not considered menses at all.
