Does a woman pray and fast if the post-natal bleeding continues after forty days?

Question:
Or a questioner says: A woman experiences bleeding almost constantly, and this is after the forty days of post-natal bleeding, and not during the time of her menstrual cycle. Does she pray and fast in the state described?

Answer:
If the forty days for the woman in post-natal bleeding have passed and the blood has not stopped, she performs the full ritual bath and prays. This blood is considered blood of corruption, a hemorrhage that is neither post-natal bleeding nor menstruation, because it did not coincide with the time of her menstrual cycle.
