Intermittent, light menstruation at its onset and the ruling on prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: My wife experiences menstruation at the beginning that is intermittent and light. Does she pray or not?

Answer:
She does not pray as long as it is with her. However, if it is a day of purity and a day of blood, on the day of purity she performs the full ritual bath and prays, and on the day of blood she does not pray. If it is like this, the blood is called mixed. The custom is mixed: a day of blood and a day of purity. This is called mixed. When the custom is completed—five, six, or seven days—and she sees the purity, she performs the full ritual bath. If it exceeds fifteen days, it becomes irregular non-menstrual bleeding. There is nothing after fifteen days; it becomes irregular non-menstrual bleeding. She washes and prays. She returns to the previous state if the blood returns to seven, six, or eight days. And whatever exceeds that is irregular non-menstrual bleeding, and she makes up the prayers she missed. Yes.
