Question
If my menstruation ends always on the seventh day but if by chance, I see brown discharge on the seventh day, will my roza be valid for the seventh day or from the next day when I saw clear white discharge? Please clarify this matter.

Answer:
If you see brown discharge, your fast for the 7th day will not be counted. This is because brown is also counted as haidh bleeding.[1] Likewise, fasting in the state of haidh will not be permissible.[2]
Only if you had clear discharge or the brown discharge stopped before sehri time ended, then those days fasting will be valid.
Only Allah knows best
