The answer

A woman experiencing abnormal bleeding () is not permitted to perform ablution (Wudu') for the obligatory prayer until its time has begun, according to the majority of scholars. The time for Friday prayer (Jumu'ah) begins with the sun's decline (Zawal) according to the majority. However, the Hanbalis hold that it starts from the beginning of the Eid prayer time, and some of them said it starts in the sixth hour. We advise you to perform Wudu' after the call to prayer () to avoid scholarly disagreement, bearing in mind that a woman's prayer in her home is better for her than in the mosque.
