What should I do, as I prayed while I was menstruating, thinking it was istihadah (non-menstrual vaginal bleeding), knowing that it is impermissible for a menstruating woman to pray, and is expiation obligatory upon me?

If a woman prays during menstruation, believing it to be istihaadah (non-menstrual vaginal bleeding), she bears no sin and owes no expiation, for Allah Almighty says: "Our Lord, do not take us to task if we forget or make a mistake."
