Is the yellowish discharge that appears after the blood has dried and the cotton comes out clean, and which continues to flow on normal days, considered part of menstruation?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Purity from menstruation is achieved by one of two signs: dryness, which means the cotton swab comes out completely dry with no trace of blood, yellowish discharge (ṣufra), or brownish discharge (kudra), while natural moisture does not cause harm; or the white discharge (al-qaṣṣah al-bayḍā’), which is a white fluid that appears at the end of menstruation. If a woman sees yellowish or brownish discharge after achieving purity through dryness or the white discharge, she should not consider it menstruation.
