The Fatwa's Summary:
The minimum duration for menstruation, according to the majority of scholars, is one day and one night. Therefore, a single drop every two days is not considered menstruation and does not prohibit prayer or fasting. Istinja' (purification with water) must be performed for these drops before ablution for prayer if their discharge coincides with prayer time.
