Should missed prayers be made up if ghusl was performed after seeing a white discharge that was not confirmed as a sign of purity?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A woman recognizes purity by one of two signs: complete dryness or the white discharge. Whichever appears first, (ritual bath) becomes immediately obligatory. If a woman sees purity by means of the white discharge and delays performing ghusl, she must make up the prayers that became due during the time she was purified before ghusl. In the future, she must promptly perform ghusl immediately upon seeing purity, and thereafter she should not pay attention to any yellowish or brownish discharge, as it is not menstruation.
