A woman experiencing istiḥāḍa (prolonged vaginal bleeding outside of menstruation) who cannot distinguish (between menstrual and non-menstrual blood) should refer to her customary period. She should perform (ritual purification bath) after its completion. She must perform wuḍūʾ (ablution) for every prayer after its time has begun. It is not permissible to delay the ghusl until the prayer time has expired. The day ends at sunset.
