Girl seeing discharge for the first time

· 14 Jumada I 1446 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

My daughter is 12 years old and on the 1st of October she had a very light spotting of brownish discharge, then again on the 4th she said she noticed discharge that wasn’t white and nothing again. So she had a ghusl and started her Salaah. She didn’t get anything this month. I’m wondering if the discharge could be due to some other reason maybe and she is not baaligh yet. That was the first time she had any sort of discharge that wasn’t white.

Answer

If between the first discharge and second discharge, complete three days were found, then this will be regarded as haidh. If it is less than three days, it will be regarded as istihaadhah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
