Seeing yellowish discharge towards the end of haidh
Question
I am dealing with a lot of confusion regarding haidh. My cycle usually lasts 7/8-ish days. It ends with brown or dark yellow discharge.
On the 7th day I did ghusl as it appeared clear to me, however around midnight I saw brown discharge which was definitely haidh. So I waited again. I kept checking and when I saw clear discharge multiple times, I did ghusl again in the afternoon on the 8th day.
Later on in the day after maghrib or isha I saw on my underwear there was yellowish discharge which appeared slightly dark. My normal discharge can be clear or light yellow. I decided to ignore it. However I’m really worried and I don’t know if I made the right decision. I fasted the next day and I’m worried that my fast didn’t count.
Answer
Since the yellow discharge was seen during your haidh period, you should regard it as haidh.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
