The Ruling on the Yellow Discharge That Precedes Menstruation

Question
A woman experiences red and black discharges and feels menstrual cramps, then after a week she menstruates as usual. Should she pray in the week preceding her menstruation or not?
Answer

I say, and with God's success: Her menstruation begins with the emergence of these discharges; because all colors of blood are considered menstruation, and God knows best.
