The Ruling on the Brown Discharge Before Menstruation
It has happened to me repeatedly since the blessed month of Ramadan that about a week or more before my menstrual period, I experience intermittent discharge known as 'kudrah', which is brown in color and sometimes slightly red, accompanied by menstrual pain. It remains with me intermittently until my menstrual period starts on time or a few days earlier. Is it permissible for me to pray and fast?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: You should check with a doctor whether this is menstrual blood or not, and you should initially consider it as menstruation. And God knows best.
