Are the yellowish or white discharges that appear after complete dryness and performing ghusl after menstruation considered part of menstruation, or should the woman continue as pure and disregard them?
The ritual bath () is obligatory upon seeing one of the two signs of purity: dryness (meaning the cotton swab comes out clean) or the white discharge (al-Qassah al-Bayda').
Yellowish and brownish discharges after purity are not considered menstruation unless they occur during the usual time of your period. If they are considered menstruation, then refraining from prayer is obligatory, and ghusl is required after their cessation. If they are not considered menstruation, then you are considered pure, bearing in mind that yellowish discharge invalidates ablution (wudu) and is impure (najis).
As for white discharges, they are the white discharge, and they are a definite sign of purity and not menstruation at all.
