Respected Mufti Sahab,
As-Salaamu Alaikum,
Innal Allaha la yastahyee minal Haq!
My habit is of bleeding 8 days every month. This time I had a white discharge on the 7th day of the month. Thinking that I had attained purity, I bathed and started praying but soon after on the same day [i.e. 7th day] I saw some dark brown discharge. Since my habit was that of 8 days, I stopped praying and therefore, did not fast and pray on the 8th day. However, at night of the 8th day, in accordance with my habit, without waiting to see a white discharge, I bathed and prayed the Isha salah. Then I fasted and prayed on the 9th day, but again saw some light brown discharge at 'asr time. Now, I am a bit confused. Should I consider this haidh or istihadah?
I am thinking that this is what I should do. Please correct me, if this is not the right approach and advise me otherwise. I should stop praying and fasting until the tenth day. If I have the brown/non-white discharge on the 11th day also, then that would mean I am suffering from istihadah. Therefore, I should take the first 8 days as haidh, in acc to my habit and make up prayers/fast for the 9th and 10th day. If this is the case, then does my fast that I kept and prayers that I prayed on the 9th day count at all, or do I have to repeat them anyways?
Wa Salaam
