Answer

If the spotting is in your usual menstruation days then it will be counted as your mensus, otherwise it will be counted as istihaza.

A person who is facing istehaaza undergoes the same proceedure as a mazur.
This woman is to make wudu at the time of every salaat. As long as that salaat time remains her wudu will remain, she can read the salaat of that time and read Quran just as anyone else. However, if apart from this bleeding some other matter crops up which causes her wudu to break, then
her wudu will break and will have to repeat the wudu. (Bahisti Zewar 72,100)

We hope we have removed all doubts. Please do not hesitate to ask further
questions. We advise you to consult your doctor as well.

And Allah knows best.
