The answer

If the cyst is inside the vagina, the blood discharged from it invalidates ablution and necessitates washing whatever it touches. Ablution and purifying the area are required before prayer. If the bleeding stops for a period that allows for ablution and prayer, then this period must be utilized. However, if the bleeding continues such that it is not possible to stop for purification and prayer, then one must purify oneself, use a protective barrier, and pray immediately. In this case, the bleeding during prayer does not matter. If the cyst is outside the vagina, the blood discharged from it does not invalidate ablution, but it is necessary to wash whatever the blood has touched on the body and clothes. Treatment is recommended to alleviate this condition.
