The answer

It appears that what the woman sees as a brownish discharge is considered menses if it continues for a day and a night; otherwise, it is not considered menses by the majority of scholars. In the latter case, it only necessitates istinja’ (cleansing the private parts) and nullifies ablution (wudu’).
