The vaginal discharge of a woman is pure, and it is not obligatory to perform istinja' (washing the private parts) from it. However, it nullifies wudu' (ablution). If its discharge is continuous, she should perform wudu' for prayer after the time for it has begun, and pray with this wudu' the obligatory prayer and whatever supererogatory prayers she wishes. What is discharged from her during that time will not harm her.
