Calculating haidh from the time of the first discharge

Question

A woman was fasting and at Zuhr time she notices discharge. The discharge does look clear but it's more inclined to brownish colour. So she doesn't consider it her haidh and she continues fasting and waits to see whether it's her haidh or not. So she reads her salaah and Quraan and whenever she checks whether her haidh has started or not she sees nothing but at the of Eshaa Salaah she notices that she has haidh.

So will she start calculating her haidh period from Zuhr time or from Eshaa time?

And if she starts counting from Zuhr time so should she repeat the pages that she had the pages of the Quran she had read?

Answer

She will consider her haidh to have started from the time she saw the brown discharge (i.e. Zuhr time). Hence, she will have to make qadha of this fast as well as repeat the recitation of the amount of Quraan which she made at this time.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
