Is Yellow Discharge Considered Period Bleeding?

30th November 2022

 

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

Question:  I have an established habit of 7 days. The initial bleeding is usually red, dark red or brown. However, 3 weeks after my last period, I saw some yellow discharge for two days then it stopped and didn’t see anything thereafter. Are they classed as periods or not?

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

 

Answer:

Thank you for your question. In reference to your query, generally yellow discharge is considered a period blood,[1] however in your situation as the bleeding/discharge did not carry on for a minimum of 3 days,[2] the 2 days of yellow discharge will not be considered as period. However, if you saw any blood within 8 days after that then the 2 days of yellow discharge then it would be classed as periods because the duration has lapsed 3 days.[3]
