My menstruation comes for eight days, then I take a bath, and after these days I get yellow discharge for five days. Do I pray during those days or not?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. She says about herself: when my menstruation comes, it stays with me for eight days, then I take a bath, and after these days I get yellow discharge that stays with me for five days. I remain confused during these days: do I pray in them or not? This is due to the hadith of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
If the yellow discharge is connected to the blood, it is considered part of the menstruation. However, if she becomes pure after the blood stops completely, she sees the white discharge and purifies herself, and then sees the yellow discharge after that, she should not pay attention to it. This is based on the statement of Umm Atiyyah (may Allah the Exalted be pleased with her): "We did not count the murky discharge and the yellow discharge after purity as anything." Likewise, in the hadith of Aisha to which the questioner referred, where she said to the women when they asked her about purity: "Do not hasten until you see the white discharge," meaning the clear sign of purity. As long as a woman has blood, yellow discharge, or murky discharge coming out of her during her usual days, this is considered menstruation for which she must sit (abstain from prayer). Yes.
