Must one repeat the prayers in which the clothes stained with Istiḥāḍah (non-menstrual vaginal bleeding) were not removed, despite performing ablution for each prayer, given that the bleeding was almost continuous and uninterrupted, and in the case of not remembering their number?

"There is no need to remove defiled clothing; rather, one must be careful to tie a cloth tightly over the affected area to prevent the impurity from spreading. It is not necessary to re-tie the bandage for every prayer. The Maliki school of thought offers leniency regarding this type of impurity, as they do not require its removal nor ablution for every prayer. There is no harm in adopting their view for what has passed, provided one commits to being careful and tying the cloth tightly in the future."
