A woman who experiences irregular discharge is subject to the ruling of a person with chronic incontinence (sahib al-salas). She is only required to perform ablution (wudu') after the time for prayer has begun. It is permissible for her to perform ablution at any point during that prayer time, and then pray with that ablution as many obligatory and supererogatory prayers as she wishes until that prayer time expires. There is no need for her to inspect herself or to repeat her ablution and prayer.
