The questioner : The questioner says: Your Eminence,The Shaykh : We request clarification of your statement regarding dark and yellow discharge before and after menstruation, given that a woman says: My menstruation must be preceded by a day of dark or yellow discharge. And some women say: My menstruation must always be followed by yellow discharge. I request that this be clarified in detail.
The Shaykh : What we see is that yellow discharge before menstruation is nothing. And that yellow discharge after menstruation is nothing. And that yellow discharge during menstruation is something, because she has not yet become pure. For example: if a woman’s custom is five days, and she sees blood on the first two days, and sees yellow discharge on the third day, and sees blood on the fourth and fifth days, then this yellow discharge between the two instances of blood is considered part of the menstruation. But if she sees yellow discharge for two or three days or more, and then the menstruation comes, then this yellow discharge is nothing. Or if she became pure and her days ended, and then she saw yellow discharge, it is nothing. So, yellow discharge is either before menstruation, after menstruation, or during menstruation. What is considered menstruation is only what occurs during the menstruation. Yes.
