Question:
If a person got a brownish discharge (not flowing ) 16 days after their last hayd and it was only once and then after that the liner was clean for the rest of day and today. Also the hayd of the person is well known due to heavy bleeding even on the first day.
The person also has a vaginal infection and sees random colours of discharge throughout the month and they change from time to time so will this be counted as istihaadha ?
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Answer:
If your predominant opinion is that this discharge is not your hayd and it is not flowing and regular, then you may disregard it [1]. Thus, it will break your Wudhu but will not be counted as the start of your period.
And only Allah s.w.t knows best.
