Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: A woman’s menstruation stopped for several months. Then she noticed that something was coming out of her, brown in color, close to black, and she does not know the time of her usual cycle, so what should she do? It is known that it stopped for her, then it returned to her a second time.

Answer:
As you heard, if her menstruation returns to her, even if it is light, she sits for the days of her usual cycle that she used to know, then she performs the full ritual bath and prays when it ends. Because the dark discharge and the yellowish discharge during the time of the custom are menstruation, as the scholars say, and by the saying
Umm `Atiyah (RAA): After we were pure, we did not consider the yellow or muddy discharge to be anythingأم عطية رضي الله عنها كنا لا نعد الكدرة والصخرة بعد الطهر شيئا
Bulugh al-Maram 143
, it indicates that during the time of menstruation it is considered something. So if the dark discharge and the yellowish discharge come during the time of menstruation, she considers them to be menstruation. Yes.
