The question

Do the secretions the questioner saw after seeing the white discharge count as menstruation and necessitate ghusl, or should she continue her acts of worship?

The answer

A woman identifies purity by one of two signs: the white discharge (al-qassah al-bayḍāʾ), which is a white fluid that appears after menstruation, or dryness (al-jufūf), which means that a cotton swab is removed without any trace of blood, yellowish discharge, or brownish discharge on it. If a woman observes purity by one of these two signs, and then sees red discharges that could be considered menstruation, then it is menstruation, and she must perform ghusl (ritual bath) after its cessation. As for the purity that occurs between two blood flows, it is a valid state of purity. If a woman does not see one of the two signs of purity, then she is still considered to be menstruating.
