Drops
of blood after making ghusl
Question:
I notice that sometimes after making ghusl due to my monthly
menses, after having had my period for a normal amount of
time, five days, I have a very small amount of drops coming
out. This occurs right after I make ghusl. After that, nothing
else comes out. I do not know what to do. Should I follow
my normal five-day period and simply ignore what occurs after
that and continue to pray and fast? Or should I consider that
day also part of my period and not pray or fast during it?
Note that such does not always occur to me but only occurs
every two or three, or so, monthly cycles. I hope you will
benefit me on this matter.
Response:
If what comes out after your washing is either yellow or brown,
it is not to be taken into consideration [as menses] and it
takes the same ruling as urine. However, if it is clearly
blood, it will then be considered part of the menses and you
must repeat the ghusl due to what is confirmed from Umm 'Atiyyah,
one of the Companions of the Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu
‘alayhe wa sallam), who said, "We would not consider yellowish
or brownish discharge as anything after we had been purified
[from menses].
