Is it true that a woman is considered pure as soon as the dark discharge (Kudrah) stops, and that the yellowish discharge (Sufrah) is not considered menstruation, taking into account the Hadith of Umm Atiyah, may Allah be pleased with her: "We did not consider the yellowish discharge (Sufrah) and the dark discharge (Kudrah) after purification to be anything" narrated by Abu Dawud, which may indicate that the yellowish discharge (Sufrah) before purification is considered menstruation?
