What is the ruling regarding blood that continues until the eleventh day after menstruation has ceased and bleeding has returned? And is Ghusl (ritual purification), prayer, fasting, and Hajj obligatory in this situation?
The brownish discharge connected to menstruation shares its ruling. As for what appears after purity, it is not considered anything, based on the statement of Umm Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her): "We used not to consider yellowness or brownish discharge after purity as anything." Purity is attained by seeing the white discharge or complete dryness.
If the brownish discharge exceeds fifteen days, then it is considered (non-menstrual bleeding). You should perform , pray, and fast. Menstrual blood is black, thick, and has a distinct odor, while istihadah blood is light and thin. One should refer to the distinction between the two types of blood. If distinguishing is not possible, the woman should consider six or seven days as her menstrual period, then perform ghusl, pray, and fast.
