What is the ruling on a woman who experiences continuous discharge (perpetual minor ritual impurity) taking a break between the rak'ahs of Tarawih prayers in Ramadan?
A person with a chronic condition can pray as many obligatory and supererogatory prayers as they wish with their ablution until the time of the prayer for which they performed ablution expires. So, if a woman with irregular bleeding (istihada) performs ablution for the 'Isha prayer, she can pray 'Isha, its regular prayers, Tarawih, and whatever else she wishes with that same ablution until Fajr, as long as her ablution is not invalidated. There is no harm in her resting between the rak'ahs of Tarawih, and her ablution is not invalidated except by the expiry of the time for which she performed ablution, or by the occurrence of an invalidator by her own choice. As for the Maliki school of thought: chronic discharge is not an invalidator of ablution in the first place.
