The answer

The apparent conclusion is that the aforementioned blood is istiḥāḍah (non-menstrual vaginal bleeding), because the minimum period of purity (ṭuhr) is fifteen days according to the majority of scholars. Therefore, any blood that appears after the end of the regular menstrual period and after verifying purity is considered irregular bleeding (dam fasād), unless there is a period of at least fifteen days separating the two bleeding episodes. You should continue to pray and fast.
