Further explanation: If a woman sees medium discharge of blood and as per the signs and verification she is sure it is istihadha then, for performing each prayer she should wash the surface of her vagina, change the cotton and perform Wudhu and in addition perform ghusl if it is the first salat of the day.

From the next day in addition to doing the 3 steps of Qaleelah, she should perform ghusl for the morning prayers only, BUT for the other prayers she should wash the surface of the vagina, change the cotton and do wudhu for each prayer. Rules for Katheera (Excessive flow) For each prayer perform one ghusl Do the 3 steps of Qaleelah If praying Asr right after Dhuhr or Isha right after Maghrib, only 3 ghusls are enough for the day.

Further explanation: If a woman sees excessive discharge of blood and as per the signs and verification if she is sure it is istihadha then, for performing each prayer she should perform ghusl and then wash the surface of the vagina and then change the cotton and do wudhu. But if a woman is going to pray Asr prayers right after Dhuhr prayers and Isha prayers right after Maghrib Prayers only one ghusl for each set of prayers will suffice.

📌However, between Dhuhr and Asr, Maghrib and Isha she must wash, change the cotton and do wudhu. Important Note: As per Ayatullah Seestani wudhu is not needed after the ghusl but if a woman wishes she should do it before ghusl for Katheera. Whereas, Imam Khomeini says it does not matter if wudhu is made before ghusl or after, but wudhu is required.

Change of Intensity of Blood Flow When one sees the intensity of the blood flow increase, then there are different rules that apply: Change of Flow from Less to More Qaleelah to Mutawassitah (Little to Medium flow) Qaleelah to Katheera (Little to Excessive flow) Mutawassitah to Katheera (Medium to Excessive flow) Rules to be followed if the blood flow changes from less to more as stated above: If before prayer: If the intensity of the blood flow changes from less to more, before a woman prays: If the flow changes from little to medium then the rules for medium apply.

📌If the flow changes from little/medium to excessive then the rules for excessive apply. Note: For explanation of rules for little flow, medium flow and excessive, refer to the rules of Istihadha.
