Should a wife ignore the bleeding and pray despite its continuation for more than 13 days after a D&C procedure, and when should she start praying and what are the implications thereafter?

If the aforementioned bleeding occurs after the possibility of menstruation and it is not certain that it is due to an illness or surgery, then it is considered menstruation if it occurs during the period of possible menstruation (after fifteen days of purity). However, if it exceeds fifteen days, it is considered istihadha (non-menstrual bleeding). To distinguish between menstruation and istihadha, the woman refers either to the difference between the two types of blood or to her regular cycle. If a period of purity interrupts menstruation, there is a difference of opinion regarding its ruling. Every day during the menstrual period on which blood flows intermittently is considered a day of menstruation. However, if it is confirmed that the blood is due to an illness or surgery, and it does not coincide with the woman's usual period and does not have the characteristics of menstrual blood, then it is considered istihadha blood, which does not invalidate fasting and prayer. The woman with istihadha performs ablution for each prayer after its time has begun, and she is not required to perform ghusl (definition) (ritual bath) unless the discharge is not continuous throughout the entire time.
