The answer

There are two signs of purification from menstruation: dryness of the place, or seeing the white discharge (al-Qassah al-Bayda'). If a woman sees one of these two signs, she must purify herself and pray. If a woman doubts her purity, the default is that menstruation persists, and she is not required to make up the prayers. However, if she becomes certain of her purity and the prayer time has passed, she must make up what she missed. If she doubts the time when purification occurred, she must adhere to the default, which is the persistence of menstruation, until she becomes certain of her purity.
