The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The questioner : This woman, O Shaykh, says: On the sixth day, her menstrual blood stopped from after Maghrib until twelve at night, and she took a bath that day and fasted the following day. Then a brownish discharge appeared, and she says she fasted that day. Does this count as menstruation, given that my custom is to sit for seven days?
This brownish discharge is not menstruation. The brownish discharge that affects a woman after her purification is nothing. Umm Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) said:Sunan an-Nasa'i 368Sahih (Darussalam) And in another narration: and she did not mention it after purification.
And menstruation is blood, not brownish discharge or yellowish discharge. Accordingly, this woman’s fast is valid, both on the day she did not see the brownish discharge and on the day she did see it, because this brownish discharge is not menstruation.

This brownish discharge is not menstruation. The brownish discharge that affects a woman after her purification is nothing. Umm Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) said:
We used not to regard yellowish and brownish discharge as anything important
كنا لا نعد الصفرة والكدرة بعد الطهر شيئاًWe did not count it as anything
كنا لا نعدها شيئاًAnd menstruation is blood, not brownish discharge or yellowish discharge. Accordingly, this woman’s fast is valid, both on the day she did not see the brownish discharge and on the day she did see it, because this brownish discharge is not menstruation.
