Is it haidh or istihadah if there was brown discharge on the 7th and 9th day of bleeding?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftisays.com
Respected Mufti Sahab,

As-Salaamu Alaikum,

Innal Allaha la yastahyee minal Haq!

My habit is of bleeding 8 days every month. This time I had a white discharge on the 7th day of the month. Thinking that I had attained purity, I bathed and started praying but soon after on the same day [i.e. 7th day] I saw some dark brown discharge. Since my habit was that of 8 days, I stopped praying and therefore, did not fast and pray on the 8th day. However, at night of the 8th day, in accordance with my habit, without waiting to see a white discharge, I bathed and prayed the Isha salah. Then I fasted and prayed on the 9th day, but again saw some light brown discharge at ‘asr time. Now, I am a bit confused. Should I consider this haidh or istihadah?

I am thinking that this is what I should do. Please correct me, if this is not the right approach and advise me otherwise. I should stop praying and fasting until the tenth day. If I have the brown/non-white discharge on the 11th day also, then that would mean I am suffering from istihadah. Therefore, I should take the first 8 days as haidh, in acc to my habit and make up prayers/fast for the 9th and 10th day. If this is the case, then does my fast that I kept and prayers that I prayed on the 9th day count at all, or do I have to repeat them anyways?
Wa Salaam

Bismillahir rahmaanir rahim.

If the discharge carries on till the 11th day, then it would be considered as istihaadhah. Therefore, the qadhaa of the prayers and fasts of the 9th and 10th day would have to be done in accordance to your habit (ie. 8 days of bleeding).

And Allah knows best.

Wassalam.
