The answer

If blood appears after a period of purity and fifteen days have passed since that purity, then it is menstrual blood, and the woman must refrain from prayer and fasting because of it. However, if it appears before fifteen days have passed since the period of purity, then it is not considered menstrual blood, but rather blood of istihadah (non-menstrual vaginal bleeding).
