The answer

Discharges from a woman, if they are from the uterus, are pure (tahir); if they are from the bladder (the exit of urine), they are impure (najis). These discharges do not necessitate a ghusl (ritual bath), but they do invalidate wudu (ablution). If they are continuous and do not stop, their ruling is similar to that of سلس ( سلس البول - urinary incontinence), so she should perform wudu for each prayer after its time has begun, and she should take precautions (by placing something to prevent their spread). However, if they are intermittent and stop during prayer times, she should delay the prayer until the time of their cessation, unless she fears the prayer time will expire; in which case, she should perform wudu, take precautions, and pray. There is no difference between a small or large amount of these discharges.
