The Ruling on Dark Discharge and Yellow Discharge After Purity

Question:
A woman asks and says: On the Day of Tarwiyah, I had a discharge that was not blood but a brown substance. Is my tawaf valid or not? Knowing that I did not reach this day [of menstruation].

Answer:
This varies. If this is after purity, then the discharge that comes after purity and is not during the time of menstruation is not acted upon and is not paid attention to; because dark discharge and yellow discharge after purity are not considered anything, they are not considered menstruation, but they are of the nature of urine. The woman must clean herself and perform the ablution for prayer, and she must take precautions against it whenever the time enters. However, if this discharge comes in the aftermath of menstruation, connected to the menstruation, or at the beginning of menstruation, or during the time of menstruation, then it is considered menstruation, so she does not pray and does not perform tawaf until she becomes pure.
The point is that this varies, and there is a detail: If this dark and yellow brown discharge comes in the aftermath of menstruation, at its end, not separated from it, then it is part of it. Or if it comes at its beginning, not separated from it, then it is part of it. Or if it comes during the time of menstruation, then it is part of it. But if it is after purity, as is customary, and it comes after purity, then there is no action required regarding it. Umm Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: , but it is considered like urine. If it continues with her, she cleans herself before the time enters. When the time enters, she cleans herself and takes precautions with cotton or the like, and she performs the ablution for prayer and prays and performs tawaf.
