The ruling on dark discharge before the blood comes down in fasting

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A woman finds dark discoloration before the blood comes down, and sometimes it lasts for two days, knowing that her cycle is irregular. Does she break her fast?

Answer:
Dark and yellow discharge during the time of the custom is menstruation. So if the dark and yellow discharge occurs during the time of the cycle, it is considered menstruation. Likewise, if it precedes the custom and yellow or dark discharge comes and connects with the custom, it is part of the custom, following the custom. As for if it is outside the custom and the monthly cycle, then it is not attended to. Umm 'Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) said:
After we were pure, we did not consider the yellow or muddy discharge to be anythingكنا لا نعد الكدرة والصفرة بعد الطهر شيئا
