Is the brown blood that appeared a day before Ramadan and then stopped, then reappeared on the fifth day of Ramadan and continued until the ninth day, considered menstruation? And must the first four days of Ramadan, which were fasted in a state of purity, be made up?
What you saw was a brownish discharge, and there is a well-known difference of opinion among scholars regarding it. What we issue a on is that it is menstruation during the time of your regular period, and if it is connected to blood. Based on this, if you saw that brownish discharge outside the time of your regular period, then it is not menstruation. But if you saw it during the time of your regular period, then it is menstruation. All the days you saw the brownish discharge are considered menstruation, and any intervening periods of purity are valid purity. Therefore, you are not required to make up the four days during which you experienced the intervening purity. Rather, you only need to make up the days of menstruation.
