Is the yellowish discharge that appears after the blood has dried and the cotton comes out clean, and which continues to flow on normal days, considered part of menstruation?

Purity from menstruation is achieved by one of two signs: dryness, which means the cotton swab comes out completely dry with no trace of blood, yellowish discharge (ṣufra), or brownish discharge (kudra), while natural moisture does not cause harm; or the white discharge (al-qaṣṣah al-bayḍā’), which is a white fluid that appears at the end of menstruation. If a woman sees yellowish or brownish discharge after achieving purity through dryness or the white discharge, she should not consider it menstruation.
