The Ruling on Ghusl for the Woman with Irregular Non-Menstrual Bleeding

A listener (S) from Riyadh sent a question saying: Does a woman perform ghusl for the irregular non-menstrual bleeding that occurs after menstruation? And if ghusl is obligatory, what is the ruling for one who was ignorant of this?
Answer: Performing ghusl for irregular non-menstrual bleeding is recommended, not obligatory. The obligatory ghusl is for menstruation when its duration ends and she sees purity; she must perform ghusl, just as one in a state of major ritual impurity must. As for irregular non-menstrual bleeding, which is the continuous bleeding that comes to her after menstruation, it is recommended to perform ghusl for it: one ghusl for the prayers of Zuhr, 'Asr, Maghrib, and 'Isha', and one ghusl for Fajr. If she leaves it, there is no blame on her, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) advised this to Humaynah bint Juhaysh.
As for what is obligatory, she is only required to perform ghusl for menstruation and ghusl for major ritual impurity. For irregular non-menstrual bleeding, she must perform wudu'. A woman should perform wudu' for every prayer, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told Fatimah bint Abi Hubaysh, who was a woman with irregular non-menstrual bleeding: . However, if she performs ghusl, that is better. The best is to perform one ghusl for Zuhr and 'Asr, meaning she performs ghusl for the time of Zuhr and 'Asr as one ghusl, and one ghusl for Maghrib and 'Isha', and one ghusl for Fajr. This is better because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) advised Humaynah (may Allah be pleased with her) to do so. Yes.
