Salah during continuous bleeding

571

Q 5: How should a woman who suffers from bleeding offer Salah (Prayer), if it is permissible for her?

A: If a woman suffers from continuous bleeding, she should perform Istinja' (cleansing the private parts with water after urination or defecation), wear a pad that prevents leakage, perform Wudu' (ablution) and then offer Salah. She must repeat this for every Salah, according to the advice of the Prophet (peace be upon him) to the woman who experienced Istihadah (abnormal vaginal bleeding outside the menstrual or post-partum period): "Perform Wudu' at the time of every Salah."May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
