Yellowish and dark discharges outside the menstrual period

A: The Kudrah (dusky-colored vaginal discharge during or after menstruation) and Sufrah (yellow vaginal discharge during or after menstruation) that are emitted outside the menstrual period are considered nothing because Um `Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "We used to consider Sufrah and Kudrah after the period has ended as nothing (i.e. not menses)." However, if such discharges occur during the days of menstruation, they are considered menstrual blood.
