Is it obligatory to repeat the ritual bath (ghusl) if I performed it after the cessation of menstruation, while there were dark-tinged discharges that I did not notice, and is performing the ghusl after the cessation of these discharges with the sole intention of janabah (major ritual impurity) sufficient for both janabah and menstruation?

If a woman sees purity by one of its two signs (dryness or white discharge) and then performs , her ghusl is valid. Any subsequent discharge is not considered menstruation. However, if she performs ghusl while still having discharge before verifying purity, her ghusl is insufficient for the post-menstrual ghusl, and she must repeat the ghusl after confirming purity. It is more cautious to repeat the post-menstrual ghusl once more.
