The blood that comes after menstruation ends

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman had her period, and six days after it ended, blood like menstrual blood came out, so she left off the prayer until the blood stopped. Is her action valid?

Answer:
No, what is between two periods is blood of corruption. She prays, she fasts, she performs the ablution for every prayer, she protects herself from the blood by placing something in her vagina that holds it, and she prays at every time. She performs the ablution for every prayer in the bloods that appear between two periods. It is called istihadah, blood of corruption.
