Not sure if I should be praying or not

Help/Advice

Hi sisters, I’m a bit unsure about what I should be doing right now regarding salah. Yesterday around 5:30 PM, I noticed some blood when I wiped .. just once, and the second time there was a slight hint of color in the discharge. Since then, there’s been no blood on my pad, nothing on tissue, and even internally it’s completely clear.

This happened on Day 26 of my cycle, which is when my period usually starts (the app I use tracks it as 30 days, but my actual recent cycles have been around 26). So I assumed it might be the start of my period and didn’t pray Maghrib or Isha last night. But now it’s the next morning (almost 11 AM), and I’m still not seeing any sign of bleeding. I’m wondering - should I still hold off on Zuhr or resume praying?

I’m nervous about continuing to miss prayers if the spotting doesn’t return. Does anyone know what the scholarly opinion regarding this is?
