Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
A woman experiencing istihadah (prolonged vaginal bleeding outside of menstruation) is considered ritually pure; therefore, she is permitted to pray, fast, recite the Qur'an, perform ruqyah (Islamic exorcism) supplications, and other acts of worship. As for a menstruating woman, she is permitted to recite the Qur'an by heart.
If the istihadah is caused by the devil, then seeking refuge in Allah, frequently reciting the Qur'an, consistently performing adhkar (remembrance of Allah), and making abundant supplications during times of answered prayers are all prescribed.
