The answer

If a woman reaches the age of menopause and her bleeding stops, she is pure and may pray and fast. However, if the black discharge continues, it is menstruation, which prohibits prayer, due to the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Indeed, the blood of menstruation is black and recognizable, so if it is that, then refrain from prayer." If the blood is not black but occurs during her usual period, it is also menstrual blood.
