Does the faint bloody spot that appears for a few days after menstruation ceases due to contraceptive injections invalidate the fast and necessitate ghusl, or is wudu’ sufficient?

The ruling on taking contraceptive injections has been previously addressed in no. 25881. As for the few spots of pale-colored blood every few days, they are not menses and do not prevent one from praying or fasting, nor do they necessitate (ritual bath); ablution (wudu') for them is sufficient. The fast of a woman from whom a few drops of blood issue during is valid, because these drops are not menses; rather, they are from the capillaries, as was mentioned by Ali ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him.
