The ruling on the blood of continuous irregular bleeding and its effect on prayer and fasting

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman asks, saying that she is a lady who has suffered from irregular menstruation for approximately five years, where the menstrual period sometimes continues without interruption throughout the month in the form of a dark brown fluid, and sometimes it leans toward red or black. She says that sometimes she performs her obligatory duties, and sometimes she is unable to. Knowing that she performed the obligatory acts of Hajj while in this condition, is her Hajj valid? Also, she fasted the blessed month of Ramadan last year and did not break her fast except for three days, and she did not make them up for the same reasons. She started fasting in this month and is suffering from the continuation of the discharge of fluid. Please advise her, may Allah bless you?

Answer:
She is required to break her fast during the usual period. This is based on the customary period, which was seven, six, or five days before this incident. She breaks her fast during that time, and fasts and prays for the rest. This is the blood of corruption. She fasts and prays and performs wudu for every prayer if we are to perform wudu. She protects herself with cotton or something similar, and she prays constantly and fasts, except during the time of the usual period that she knew previously. In this usual period, she sits for the days of menstruation, neither fasting nor praying, whether it is five, six, seven, or eight days. As for anything beyond that, she cleans herself, protects herself with something, performs wudu for every prayer, and prays and fasts. And praise be to Allah.
