Does a woman break her fast and stop praying if she sees small spots of blood after she has become pure?
Menstrual problems are numerous, and their main cause is birth control pills. If a woman sees definite purity - which is the white discharge (al-qassah al-bayḍā') - then whatever she sees after that, be it a brownish discharge (kudrah), yellowish discharge (ṣufrah), a spot, or wetness, is not menstruation, and it does not prevent prayer, fasting, or sexual intercourse. This is based on the statement of Umm Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her): "We did not consider the yellowish or brownish discharge after purity to be anything." A woman must not hasten until she sees definite purity.
