Is the blood that came down on a woman for 14 days, knowing that she is pregnant and her usual menstrual period is 7 days, considered menstrual blood that necessitates making up the prayers for that period in which she did not pray, especially since the blood became light in the last three days and purity did not appear?

The predominant view among us is that a pregnant woman does not menstruate, and any blood she sees is considered (non-menstrual bleeding). Therefore, she must make up the prayers for the fourteen days during which she saw the blood. However, according to those who hold that a pregnant woman can menstruate (such as the Maliki and Shafi'i schools, and the choice of Ibn Taymiyyah), the entire period is considered menstruation, and she is not required to make up any prayers. The first view is more cautious.
