The answer

A woman must stop fasting and praying as soon as she sees menstrual blood. When the bleeding stops and she sees one of the two signs of purity (dryness or white discharge), she must perform ghusl, pray, and fast. If the blood returns before fifteen days have passed from the beginning of menstruation, she is considered to be menstruating again, while her prayers and fasts during the period of purity that interrupted the bleeding remain valid.
