Blood connected to yellowness or brownish discharge is considered menses as long as it does not exceed 15 days. A menstruating woman entering the mosque is a mistake, and the preponderant opinion is that it is not permissible for her to do so, and she must repent and seek forgiveness. If she performs ' while menstruating, her circumambulation () is invalid because it was performed during menstruation, and the ritual running (sa'y) is invalid due to not being preceded by a valid circumambulation.
