Is the cessation of blood for two hours after menstruation, which lasts for five days, considered a state of purity, or should one wait for the white discharge, knowing that yellowish and brownish discharges may return after the white discharge?

Yellow or brownish discharge is considered menstruation during the period of one's customary cycle, and if it is connected to blood. However, if a woman sees it after her customary period has ended and it is not connected to blood, then it is not considered menstruation, and she must perform (ritual bath) and pray. If its discharge continues, it takes the ruling of istihada (non-menstrual vaginal bleeding), and she must perform ablution for each prayer after its time has begun.
