Question

What is the ruling regarding a woman who emits a discharge throughout the month?

For ±3 days before and after her haidh it is brown in colour. Her bleeding lasts for ±8 days . During the rest of the month her discharge is yellow or white.

If she regards all coloured discharges as haidh then those days when she is actually bleeding may fall under istihadha?

Answer

The coloured discharge which she experiences out of her haiz period is istihaaza.

If she is not a mazoor, then whenever the coloured discharge comes out, her wudhu will break. She should renew her wudhu and perform her salaah.

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