What is the ruling on continuous yellow discharge after menstruation and determining its days?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : As for the first cause of this day, the questioner says: I will clarify my message in detail for fear of confusion. After throwing [the pebbles], for years I was confused for six days, and on the seventh day I would see, I would see the yellow discharge and the brown discharge, and I would see a continuous flow at the end of those days connected to the days of purity as well. But as I said, on the seventh day I would see it, but a reader [of the ruling] said that the yellow discharge continued with me for another seven days or more. Last month it continued for the whole month without me seeing it [as a sign of purity], and in summary, the yellow discharge continued for almost the whole month, so sometimes I do not see purity except before the next menstruation.
The Shaykh : This is specific.
The questioner : And sometimes.
The Shaykh : That is enough, yes.
The questioner : And sometimes it comes out. This is specific.
The Shaykh : Of course.
The questioner : And sometimes the blood comes out after seconds. And after seconds, yellow discharge comes out, and this is my condition. Therefore, I have come to consider the days of Hajj to be the original seven days, and I leave the rest. What is the ruling on that? Even though previously, before this incident, I would take a bath at the beginning of the seventh day, and now by choice I take a bath at the end of the seventh day, and I make up the prayers of the seventh day. Advise me, or should I be cautious?
The Shaykh : This question, as you heard, is a long question and is not conceivable [to answer briefly]. It is better for this woman to either contact the scholars here in person or contact them by phone in order to inquire about some of the matters in it.Sunan an-Nasa'i 368Sahih (Darussalam) after purity. Also, the general rule is that a woman should not hasten when she sees the blood stop until she sees the white cloth, as Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said to the women when they came to her with the kurasf, meaning cotton, Muwatta Malik 2:98. Matters like these are delicate matters and difficult matters as well, hidden from many scholars. So what a woman should do if she encounters such problems is to contact the person she wants to ask for a ruling herself. And on this occasion, I warn women with a severe warning against using pills that prevent menstruation, because these pills, as has been established for me by doctors I asked in the Eastern Region and doctors I asked in the Western Region, who are from Saudi Arabia, praise be to Allah, and also doctors from our brothers assigned to this Kingdom in the Central Region, they are all in agreement that these pills are harmful. Some of them wrote to me the number of harms in them, and one wrote to me fourteen harms on one page. And the greatest of the harms in them is that it is a cause for ulcers in the uterus; this is one. It is a cause for changing the blood and disturbing it, and this is observed, and how many problems come from women because of it. It is a cause for deformity of future fetuses, meaning the fetus in the womb. And if the female has not married, it becomes a cause for her to have infertility, meaning she does not give birth. And these are great harms. Then, a person with his intellect, even if he is not a doctor and does not know medicine, knows that preventing this natural matter for which Allah has set specific times is harmful, just as if you tried to prevent urine when it is blocked or stool when it is blocked, then this is certainly harmful. Similarly, this natural blood that Allah has decreed for the daughters of Adam, there is no doubt that attempting to prevent it from coming out at its time is harmful to the female. So I warn our women from taking these pills. And I also like for men to pay attention to this. And in any case, if you see that you should consult doctors in this matter so that the matter becomes clear to you, that is good. The important thing is that we do not play with this natural matter. A woman comes and says, "I will eat the pills," why? So that I do not break my fast in Ramadan. How did you find the way in Ramadan? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered upon Aisha while she was performing 'Umrah in the Farewell Pilgrimage. He entered upon her and she was crying, so he said to her She said, "Yes." He said Sahih Muslim 1211i, yes.

We used not to regard yellowish and brownish discharge
كنا لا نعد الصفرة والكدرةDo not be hasty until you see a white discharge.
لا تعجلن حتى ترين القصة البيضاءWhat is making you cry? Perhaps you have given birth?
ما يبكيك لعلك نفست؟This is what Allah has ordained for all the daughters, of Adam
إن هذا شيء كتبه الله على بنات آدم
