The answer

A woman suffering from continuous discharge must perform ablution for each prayer after its time has begun. The default assumption for blood is that it is menstruation unless it exceeds 15 days. If menstruation is intermittent, she performs and prays after purification, and considers the returning blood as menstruation, as long as the total does not exceed 15 days. Purification is achieved by the discharge of white seminal fluid (al-qassah al-bayda') or complete dryness. It is recommended to acquire religious knowledge by attending scholarly gatherings, following educational channels, distance learning, benefiting from Islamic websites, and keeping good company.
