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?
الجواب حامداً و مصلياً
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]
[Allāh Knows Best]
