The answer

Scholars differ regarding the minimum duration of menstruation. The minimum duration of menstruation, according to the majority of scholars, is one day and one night, contrary to the Maliki school. What the wife saw is not considered menstruation, and she must make up the prayers she missed, thinking it was menstruation.
