Must a woman experiencing استحاضة (non-menstrual vaginal bleeding) repeat her ablution and prayer if the time for another prayer enters while she is performing the current one, or should she complete her prayer and then perform ablution for the next one? And does the ablution of a woman experiencing استحاضة performed after sunrise keep her in a state of purity until the Dhuhr (noon) Adhan?

The jurists have differed in their opinions regarding the person in a state of perpetual ritual impurity (da'im al-hadath) if the time for the prayer expires while he is praying. Some have said that his purity (tahara) becomes void, and he must repeat his ablution (wudu') and prayer, because purity is invalidated by the expiration of the time. They gave the example of a woman with irregular bleeding (mustahadah) who is praying when the time expires. Other scholars are of the view that purity is not invalidated by the expiration of the time. The first opinion is more cautious and more absolving of responsibility. As for one who performs ablution after sunrise, he may pray supererogatory (nafilah) prayers with that ablution until the time for Dhuhr prayer, then he performs ablution for Dhuhr after its time has entered.
