What is the ruling if sheds of blood go out but not at the period time? Is this considered menstruation?
Answer
Praise Be to Allah and Peace Be Upon His Messenger.
What you describe could be like yellowish discharge which is not considered menstruation. Um Atiyyah narrated: “We never considered yellowish discharge as a thing of importance (as menses)”.
To make it clearer, you can decide; if these secretions (sheds of blood) are accompanied with menstrual pain, then it could be menstruation; therefore, you have to stop praying until your period is over. Otherwise, they are merely secretions.
