The answer

Al-Kudra (dark-colored discharge): It is a discharge similar to pus or dirty water. If it appears immediately after menstrual bleeding, it is considered part of menstruation. Do not rush until its traces disappear and you see your accustomed sign of purity, which is either complete dryness of the area or the emission of the white discharge (al-qassah al-bayda’), based on the saying of Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her: "Do not rush until you see the white discharge."
