containing yellow and turbid discharge, and she would say: "Do not hasten until you see the white discharge," meaning by that the purity from menstruation. The hadith of Umm 'Atiyya only encompasses what is after purity and performing ghusl, and we hold the same view. 'Aisha has also said: "We used not to consider turbid and yellow discharge as menstruation," along with her previous statement that we have already mentioned.

Section: The ruling on yellow and turbid discharge is the same as the ruling on fresh blood in that it is menstruation if it occurs during the days of menstruation, and the beginner [in menstruation] sits [refraining from prayer] due to it just as she sits due to other [discharges]. If she sees it after the habitual period, it is as if she saw something else, according to what will be mentioned later, if Allah wills. If she becomes pure and then sees a turbid or yellow discharge, it is not given any consideration, due to the report of Umm 'Atiyya and 'Aisha. Al-Najjad narrated with his chain of transmission from Muhammad ibn Ishaq, from Fatima, from Asma', who said: "We were in her care with her daughter’s daughters, and one of us would become pure then pray, then she would be afflicted with a slight yellow discharge. We would ask her, and she would say: 'Withdraw from prayer until you see nothing but pure white.'" The first [view] is more appropriate due to what we have mentioned, and the statement of 'Aisha and Umm 'Atiyya is more appropriate than the statement of Asma'. The Qadi said: The meaning of this is that she does not pay attention to it before [the habit] is repeated, and the statement of Asma' is in the case where it has been repeated, thus reconciling between the reports. And Allah knows best.

The summary of this is that enjoyment of a menstruating woman above the navel and below the knee is permissible by text and consensus, and sexual intercourse in the vagina is forbidden by both. There is disagreement regarding the enjoyment of what is between them;
