Is the prayer of one from whom a fluid exits during prayer accepted if they prayed once and did not verify whether anything exited from them?

These discharges are the natural vaginal moisture of a woman. They invalidate ablution (wudu') but are considered ritually pure (tahir) according to the more preponderant opinion. If they are continuous, such that the woman does not find sufficient time to pray with a valid state of ritual purity, then her ruling is that of one afflicted with perpetual incontinence (sahib al-salas); she should perform ablution for the prayer after its time has begun and pray the obligatory prayer and as many supererogatory prayers as she wishes until the time for that prayer exits or she incurs another impurity (hadath) apart from her constant one. However, if their discharge stops at a known time, then she must wait until that time to pray with a valid state of ritual purity. The cure for obsessive whispers (waswas) is to ignore them and not pay them any attention.
