The answer

Vaginal discharges from a woman are pure but invalidate ablution. As for yellowish discharge, it is impure and also invalidates ablution, if it is not menstrual blood. A woman afflicted with incontinence of these discharges should perform ablution for each prayer after its time has begun, and pray with that ablution both obligatory and supererogatory prayers until the time expires. It is permissible to combine Maghrib and Isha prayers, either by advancing or delaying them, according to some scholars, for a woman experiencing irregular bleeding (istihada) and those in a similar situation. According to the Maliki school, a person with a continuous ritual impurity is not required to perform ablution for the time of every prayer, and there is no blame upon one who needs to take this concession from this school of thought.
