What you mentioned about the ruling concerning yellowish and brownish discharges is correct; it is the relied-upon of the Hanbalis. Therefore, if you observe purity by dryness or the white discharge, you must perform , whether you see white discharges or not. Dryness is confirmed by inserting cotton or similar material, which then comes out clean. As for the variation in the days of your period, whatever has occurred three times becomes your regular custom. Thus, a reduction in the number of days of your period in some months does not affect it.
