Question
The sign that comes four or five days before the period, and its characteristics are that it can be dry or liquid, tends to be dark, and sometimes reaches a red color. At times, it dries up and continues like this until the fifth day, then the normal period comes. Should I pray and fast or not?
Answer
I say, and with Allah's guidance: The principle is that all the blood that appears to you, even if it is light, is considered menstruation. And Allah knows best.
