The answer

A woman knows she has become pure by one of two signs: dryness (the cotton comes out clean), or the white discharge.

If she sees purity, she must hasten to perform ghusl (ritual bath). If she delays it, she is obliged to make up the prayers she missed.

If blood reappears after she has confirmed purity, she is considered menstruating as long as this occurs within a time suitable for menstruation, and she must repeat ghusl if this recurs.

Pinkish discharges are considered menstruation.

Some scholars are of the view that a woman should wait for a day or half a day after dryness to ensure the cessation of blood, and she is not obliged to make up the prayers for this period.
