The Ruling on the Yellow Discharge that Precedes Menstruation.

Question
For a while, my period has been delayed by about two weeks due to hormonal imbalance, and yesterday I had a light brown discharge. Is this considered a period?
Answer

I say, and with God's guidance: The original ruling is to consider it a period regardless of the color, unless the woman usually has a strong menstrual flow followed by yellow discharge, in which case it may not be considered menstruation, and this is not your case. And God knows best.
