Must the wife re-perform the missed prayers that she offered without ghusl after a fluid was discharged from her, believing that wudu' and purifying the clothes were sufficient?

The ruling on this issue depends on determining the nature of the fluid discharged from the wife. If it is madhiy (pre-seminal fluid), it only necessitates purifying the affected area and performing ablution (wudu'). If it is maniy (seminal fluid), it necessitates a ritual bath (ghusl). If it is determined to be maniy, she must make up the prayers she performed without ghusl. However, if it was madhiy, then there is nothing upon her. The first opinion (of making up the prayers) is more cautious, even though Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah held the view that making up prayers is not obligatory for someone who unknowingly omitted a condition.
