The answer

If a woman sees the sign of purity, then any discharge thereafter is not considered menstruation, based on the statement of Umm Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her): "We did not consider any brownish or yellowish discharge after purity as anything." However, if blood returns for a full day and night, to the extent that it soils a cotton pad, it could be either a continuation of the initial menstruation, which prohibits prayer, fasting, and intercourse, or irregular bleeding (istihada), which does not prohibit any of these, depending on the detailed legal ruling.
