Are repeated yellow discharges throughout the day considered menses, and are red discharges that appeared a week after menstruation considered menses?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Blood after a week of menstrual cessation is considered menses, unless its duration, combined with the previous blood and the period of purity in between, exceeds fifteen days. Yellowish and brownish discharges are considered menses during the habitual period, but not otherwise, unless they are connected to blood.
