Is it obligatory to make up the Isha’ prayer if menstruation began during its time and ghusl was performed after seven days, noting the later appearance of dark yellow discharge? And is it true that prayers for days during which there is doubt about the emission of discharge in the last days of menstruation must be made up? And does continuous discharge require re-performing wudu for each fard (obligatory prayer) as some scholars believe? And is it permissible to ignore doubts about nocturnal emission and not perform ghusl when the dream is not recalled, and to ignore doubts about breaking wudu due to colon gases during bowing (ruku) and prostration (sujud)?
You must disregard the waswās (whispers of Satan). It is permissible to make up the ‘Ishā’ prayer during whose time you saw your menses. You are not required to make up the prayers of the day you became pure unless you delayed performing ghusl (ritual bath) after seeing purity. The obligation is to hasten in performing ghusl immediately upon seeing purity. If the yellowish discharge (ṣufrah) occurs during the accustomed period [of menses], it is considered menses, and ghusl is required. If it occurs outside the accustomed period, it is not considered menses. Vaginal discharges in the last days of menstruation, if they are yellowish (ṣufrah) or brownish (kudrah) and connected to blood or within the accustomed period, are considered menses. However, if they are the usual vaginal moisture, they are pure, and ghusl is required upon seeing purity. If you doubt the cessation of menses, act upon the original principle, which is the continuation of menses. Vaginal moisture nullifies ablution (wuḍūʾ). If you are afflicted with its incontinence, perform wuḍūʾ for each prayer after its time has entered. If you doubt nocturnal emission or the nullification of wuḍūʾ, do not pay attention to doubts and act upon the original principle, which is the absence of nocturnal emission and the continuation of purity.
