Whitish discharge at the end of Haidh
Question
I often have difficulty determining when my Haidh has ended. I would like to know whether the discharge which is like a cream white in color, is considered as part of Haidh or not?
Answer
The Kitaabs of Fiqh state that there are six colours of Haidh; black, red, yellow, brown (earth colour), green and a muddy colour.
It is recorded in Jawharatun Nayyira and Durr-e-Mukhtaar that the whiteness witnessed on the sanitary pad at the end of Haidh (sometimes like a white thread), indicates that Haidh has terminated. Since the off-white colour (in your case) is closer in resemblance to white, and not from amongst the colours of Haidh which we have listed above, it is an indication that your Haidh has terminated.
