A woman experiencing Istihada (non-menstrual vaginal bleeding) is subject to the rulings for ritually pure women. She may pray, fast, recite the Quran, enter the mosque, circumambulate the Kaaba, and perform all her religious rituals, provided she takes precautions to avoid contaminating the mosque. This is the view of the majority of scholars.
