What is the ruling on yellow discharge after the cessation of postpartum bleeding, performing ghusl, and engaging in intercourse, and is it considered nifas?

The maximum period of lochia (nifas) is forty days, according to the hadith of Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her). If the lochial bleeding stops and the woman becomes pure, then any yellowish or brownish discharge thereafter is not considered anything, based on the hadith of Umm Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her): "We did not consider yellowish or brownish discharge after purity to be anything." Therefore, any yellowish or brownish discharge that appears after the cessation of blood is not considered blood and does not prevent prayer, fasting, or intercourse, unless it comes immediately connected to the blood.
