What is the ruling on the brownish and yellowish discharge after the cessation of blood and before seeing the white discharge, knowing that the questioner is one of those who see the white discharge?
What a woman sees of yellowish or brownish discharge during her menstrual period is considered menstruation, based on the statement of Marjanah, the freed slave of Aisha: "Women used to send to Aisha a small box containing a piece of cotton with yellowish discharge, and she would say: 'Do not be hasty until you see the white discharge (al-Qassah al-Bayda').'" So, whoever sees yellowish or brownish discharge after the blood has stopped, remains in a state of menstruation until she sees dryness or the white discharge. It is recommended for a woman who is accustomed to seeing only the white discharge, or both it and dryness, to wait for the white discharge if she sees dryness first, because the white discharge is a stronger indication of purity.
