The answer

If menstrual blood appears, even if only by wiping, these days are considered menstruation, during which prayer and fasting are to be abstained from. When the bleeding stops, indicated by one of the two signs of purity (dryness or white discharge), one must perform ghusl (ritual bath) and resume acts of worship. If blood reappears or is continuous with the initial bleeding, it is still considered menstruation, as long as the total duration of the initial bleeding, the subsequent period of purity, and the final bleeding does not exceed fifteen days.
