The blood that appeared six days after your period is not menses, because the minimum period of purity between two menstrual cycles is fifteen days. This blood is irregular bleeding (istihadah), and it permits the performance of acts of worship and conjugal relations, provided that your usual menstrual days have concluded and you have verified its cessation by observing the white discharge (al-qassah al-bayda') or dryness.
