Question 109346

A woman used pills to prevent menses so that she could do Hajj, but when she got tired she had some kind of brownish discharge. What is the ruling on that?

Answer

Praise be to Allah.

That does not affect anything. Umm ‘Atiyyah (may Allah have mercy on her) said: “We used to not regard the yellowish or brownish discharge as being of any significance,” even if it was ongoing. So long as it is not pure blood, then it is of no significance. End quote.
