The question

Are the brown discharges that appeared during the Tawaf and Sa'i after taking menstruation-delaying pills considered menstruation? And do they necessitate repeating the 'Umrah, knowing that I have not yet exited the state of ihram?

The answer

These secretions are not menstruation unless they are accompanied by blood or by the usual menstrual pains, as Umm Atiyyah said: "We used not to consider the yellowish or brownish discharge anything." As for the circumambulation () and the ritual walking (Sa'i): the brownish discharge nullifies ablution, but the Sa'i performed while it is present is valid because purity is not a condition for it. As for the Tawaf, the majority of scholars stipulate purity for it, while others, like Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah and Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen, hold that purity for it is desirable but not a condition. Therefore, the ' is valid.
