IRSYAD HUKUM SIRI KE-882: KAEDAH MENGENAL PASTI WARNA KERUH, KUNING DAN PERANG YANG DIANGGAP HAID
Does the haid period remain unfinished as long as brown blood is still discharged?
Short answer
According to the established view in the Shafi'i school, brown, yellow and turbid discharge counts as haid blood only if it appears during a period that can be ruled as haid (zaman imkan al-haid), meaning at least 24 hours and not beyond 15 days and 15 nights.

Summary
According to the established view in the Shafi'i school, brown, yellow and turbid discharge counts as haid blood only if it appears during a period that can be ruled as haid (zaman imkan al-haid), meaning at least 24 hours and not beyond 15 days and 15 nights. If it appears at a time that cannot be ruled as haid, such as during the purity period or after the maximum haid duration, it is considered istihadah or fasad blood. The minimum period of purity between two haid cycles is 15 days, after which a new haid cycle becomes possible.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Cecair darah yang berwarna sama ada perang, kuning atau keruh merupakan darah haid seandainya ia keluar pada waktu yang boleh dihukumkan sebagai haid.
