Whether you can pray Namaz (Salah) with brown discharge after your period depends on whether it's considered part of your menstrual period or irregular bleeding (Istihadah).
Determining if it's Part of Your Period:
-
If the brown discharge is a continuation of your regular menstrual flow: In this case, it is considered part of your period, and you should not pray or fast until it stops completely and you perform Ghusl (ritual purification).
-
If the brown discharge is separate from your regular menstrual flow (e.g., it starts a few days after your period has apparently ended): This is likely considered irregular bleeding (Istihadah).
If it is Irregular Bleeding (Istihadah):
- Namaz is obligatory: You are required to perform your prayers. A hadith indicates that irregular bleeding is considered to be from a blood vessel, not menstruation, thus, you must pray.
- Perform Ablution (Wudu) Before Each Prayer: Because of the irregular bleeding, you need to perform Wudu before each obligatory prayer. You can perform other acts of worship during that time period (between prayers). If the bleeding stops during a prayer time, your wudu is still valid for that prayer.
- Change/Cleanse Regularly: Make sure to cleanse the area and use a pad or something similar to prevent the discharge from spreading.
In summary: If the brown discharge is connected to and follows directly after your period, treat it as part of your period and refrain from prayer. However, if it's separate and occurs after your period has seemingly ended, it's likely Istihadah, and you must pray after performing Wudu before each prayer time. Always seek guidance from a knowledgeable Islamic scholar for specific situations.
