Is the brownish or yellowish discharge that a woman sees after seeing the white discharge and after the cessation of her usual menstrual bleeding considered to prevent her from praying and fasting?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Yellowish or brownish discharge is considered menstruation if it occurs during the accustomed period or if it is connected to menstrual bleeding. Menstruation ends either by dryness (al-jufūf) or by the white discharge (al-qaṣṣah al-bayḍā’). After seeing purity by one of these two signs, you should not pay attention to yellowish or brownish discharge as long as it is not connected to blood or within the accustomed period. If its discharge is continuous, then the woman experiencing irregular bleeding (al-mustaḥāḍah) should take precautions and perform ablution for every prayer after its time has begun.
