The answer

The returning blood in this case is not considered menses because there were not thirteen days (the minimum period of purity according to the Hanbalis) or fifteen days (according to the majority of scholars) separating it from the previous blood. Rather, it is irregular bleeding (istihada). You must purify yourself from it (istinja') and take precautions. If it is continuous, then you must perform ablution (wudu') for each prayer after its time has begun and pray with that ablution as much as you wish until the time for that prayer exits.
