A menstruating woman fasting before seeing the white discharge

Question

If a woman does not see any blood during the last days of menstruation and before attaining purity, should she fast on those days even if she does not see the white discharge that marks purity? Otherwise, what should she do?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alyhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen  may  Allaah  have  mercy  upon  him said: "If she previously did not see the white discharge, as some women do not get this, she should fast. However, if she did see the white discharge previously, then she should not fast until she sees it."

Allaah Knows best.
