The Ruling on Colors That Precede Menstruation

Question
I intended to fast the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah and I have fasted, and today I noticed some discharge mixed with a little blood. Is my prayer and fasting valid?
Answer

I say, and with Allah's success: The original ruling is that all colors of blood seen after fifteen days of purity from the previous menstruation are considered a new menstruation, and Allah knows best.
