The Ruling on the Brown Discharge Before Menstruation

Question
You said that the brown discharge before the period is considered part of the menstrual cycle, and it may sometimes appear days before menstruation. If I consider it as such, the period will extend to more than ten days; which is more correct, to consider the period from the start of the bleeding or from the appearance of the brown discharge?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: This discharge is considered menstruation, and God knows best.
