Experiencing brown discharge during the days of haidh
Question
If I'm due for my menstrual cycle but I'm not bleeding yet but I'm secreting a brown discharge, am I allowed to perform salaah?
Answer
If this is experienced during the days of haidh, then regard it as haidh.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
