Is it obligatory for a pregnant woman who menstruates weekly to perform ghusl every time, and how does she perform the prayer?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The preponderant opinion is that a pregnant woman does not menstruate, and any blood she sees is irregular. She must pray, fast, and engage in intercourse [with her husband] while this blood is present. It does not necessitate a full ritual bath (ghusl), but rather she performs ablution (wudu) for each prayer.
