The ruling on the fluid that precedes menstruation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is the fluid that precedes menstruation one for which she must perform the full ritual bath when it appears? And does she pray?
Answer:
The fluid, in and of itself, is considered a state of minor ritual impurity that invalidates the ablution only, just like urine. However, if it is accompanied by a brownish or yellowish discharge, meaning if there is some blood with it, even a small amount, then this is considered part of menstruation and follows the menstruation.
