The questioner : What is the ruling on dark discharge ten days after the end of menstruation? Is that considered menstruation?
The Shaykh : No. Umm Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "We did not count yellowish or darkish discharge as anything". Menstruation is the known blood that Allah the Exalted described as a hardship, and anything other than that is not menstruation, such as yellowish discharge, darkish discharge, and continuous red blood, which is blood from a vessel.
Menstruation has signs, among which is that most women feel the onset of menstruation before it comes out, due to the cramps and pain in the back and the like that they experience. Menstruation has a distinct smell that no other blood shares, and menstruation is thick and heavy.
Regarding menstruation, some contemporary doctors have said: it does not clot, unlike ordinary blood. Ordinary blood clots, but menstrual blood does not clot.
