Question:

If a woman does not see any blood during the last days of menstruation and before attaining purity, should she fast on those days even if she does not see the white discharge that marks purity? Otherwise, what should she do?

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alyhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

 

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said: "If she previously did not see the white discharge, as some women do not get this, she should fast. However, if she did see the white discharge previously, then she should not fast until she sees it."

Allaah Knows best.
