Should a woman who has not yet purified after the fourteenth day due to the continued discharge of yellowish fluid, and who does not have a specific habit, wait until the fifteenth day to perform ghusl, or should she perform ghusl today without knowing whether the discharge will continue? And does the maximum limit for menstruation of fifteen days apply to a woman who experiences continuous yellowish discharge between two menstrual periods if she does not have a habit?

"Yellowish discharge is considered menstruation if it occurs during the usual period or is connected to blood. If you experience purity (by dryness or white discharge) and then the yellowish discharge returns, this yellowish discharge is not considered menstruation unless it falls within your usual days. You must perform and pray immediately upon seeing the sign of purity, and not wait until fifteen days have passed."
