The Ruling on the Yellowish Discharge Before Menstruation

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.
