I have issue before bleeding start. My date was 28 but I got red trace on 24th then I got brawn discharge on 27th then period started on 28. My question is before bleeding start if I see this kind discharge can I pray, fast or not?
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
(Fatwa: 1278/952/B=10/1434)
First the red colour then brown colour shall be counted as menses. You should not offer salah in this state and should not observe fast as well.
Allah knows Best!
