A woman used a treatment that caused menstruation, so she left the prayer for more than two weeks; is she required to make it up?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A letter arrived from one of the sisters, Shaykh Salih, stating that she caused menstrual blood to flow because she took a treatment prescribed by a doctor, so she left the prayer for more than two weeks; is she required to make it up?

Answer:
If this blood is menstrual blood, then she sits for the duration of the menstruation. But if this blood is merely bleeding due to the treatment or another cause, and it is bleeding and not menstruation, then it is not considered menstruation and she does not sit for it. One should look into its nature and consult the doctor who prescribed this treatment. Yes.
