Some General Rules It is wajib on the mustahazah to perform the prayer or prayers immediately after the wudu or ghusl. Of course, she is permitted to perform the mustahab acts before, or during, the prayer. On the other hand, if the istihazah has stopped com­pletely and the woman has already performed what was required of her, then it is not wajib for her to perform her prayers immediately after the wudu or ghusl.

It is also wajib on the mustahazah to prevent the blood from coming out of the vagina during the prayer by placing a sanitary napkin over it. If she does not take necessary precaution in this matter and the blood comes out of vagina during the prayer, then she will have to repeat her prayer. In this case of negligence, if she has medium or profuse istihazah, then it is precautionarily wajib on her even to repeat the ghusl or ghusls.

If the istihazah stops completely before the woman has performed the wudu or ghusl which was required of her, then what is her duty in regard to those acts? It is wajib for her to perform the acts which were required of her before she became pure. Likewise, if the blood stops during the wudu or ghusl or salat, it is wa­jib on her to perform the wudu or ghusl or the prayer again.

Even if the blood stops after she has performed her prayers but there still is enough time to do wudu or ghusl and pray, then it is wajib for the woman to per­form those acts again. If a mustahazah knows that the bleeding will stop at a time when she will have enough time to perform her wudu or ghusl and pray (without making them qaza ), then it is wajib for her to delay her prayers until she becomes pure. For example, the time of noon and after­noon prayers ends at 5:00 p.m.

and the woman has a feeling that her blood will stop before 3:00 or 4:00 p.m. In this case she should delay her noon and afternoon prayers, and perform the wudu or ghusl and pray after she has become pure. On the other hand, if her istihazah started after the time of prayers while she had not yet prayed, then she will have to pray that salat after performing the wudu or ghusl which is required of her. For example, the time of noon prayer commenced at 12:30 p.m.

and her istihazah started at 3:00 p.m. In this case she had had enough time from the commencement of noon prayer's time to perform her prayers normally. If she did not do so, then she will have to follow the rules of istihazah to perform that prayer.
