The answer

If your usual period has ended and you have seen dryness or the white discharge, then you have become pure and it is obligatory for you to perform , pray, and fast. The small amount of blood that appeared for fifteen minutes on the sixth and seventh days is irregular bleeding () and does not invalidate the soundness of prayer and fasting. However, if your usual period has not ended, scholars differ: some consider the blood and disregard the intervening purity, in which case you must purify yourself, fast, and pray whenever you see purity; others consider all of it menstruation. The pinkish blood on the eighth day is a brownish discharge (kudrah), and kudrah during a period of purity is not considered anything, based on the of Umm Atiyyah: "We did not consider the yellowish and brownish discharges to be anything." Your prayers and fasting are valid, and your usual period remains five days.
