The questioner:
Sister Raa-Lam sent a message containing several questions. In the first, she asks: What is the ruling on dark and yellow discharge before and after menstruation? She states that this dark and yellow discharge comes one or two days before menstruation. Sometimes the color of this dark discharge is dark blood, and sometimes drops of blood come down, and then after a few days the menstruation begins. It is the same after menstruation, where the duration of menstruation is prolonged. How can we be certain that the menstruation has ended? She notes that she used to leave off the prayer on the days of dark and yellow discharge, based on the fatwa of some scholars. What is the ruling on her leaving off the prayer on those days?
The Shaykh:
If this dark and yellow discharge is during the time of the custom, or before the custom, or after the custom but connected to it and not separated, then it is considered part of the custom. It is considered part of the custom. But if purity has occurred and complete cleanliness has been achieved, and the woman has taken a bath, and then she sees dark or yellow discharge, she should not pay attention to it. This is based on the statement of Umm Atiyyah: "We did not count dark or yellow discharge after purity as anything." Yes.
The questioner:
What is the ruling on leaving off the prayer on those days that she left off in the ground?
The Shaykh:
As we have detailed, if this dark and yellow discharge is connected to the custom before it or after it, then it is part of it. She does not have to pray, and her fasting is not valid. But if it is separated after she saw the purity and complete cleanliness and took a bath, and then the dark or yellow discharge occurred, then it is of no account. Yes.
The questioner:
In her question, she said: How can we be certain of the end of the life?
The Shaykh:
This is not with me. This is with the women. Do you know when your menstruation ends? Yes.
