Shared Rules Between Light and Moderate Istiḥāḍa
Faṭimah: For praying during light or medium Istiḥāḍa, is it necessary to change the cotton or wash the body?
Mother: Changing the cotton is not necessary, and if the blood has not spread to the outer skin of the body, washing is not required either.
Faṭimah: Can a woman with light or medium Istiḥāḍa delay her prayer after performing wuḍū?
Mother: No, she must perform her prayer immediately. However, doing necessary actions like preparing the prayer mat and wearing the prayer garment, as well as performing recommended acts like the call to prayer (Adhān) and Iqāma, is acceptable.
Faṭimah: If a woman with light or medium Istiḥāḍa is sure that no blood will exit her body while performing wuḍū and the two prayers, does she still need to perform wuḍū for the second prayer?
Mother: If the blood has stopped both externally and internally, it is not necessary to perform wuḍū for the second prayer. However, external cleanliness alone is not sufficient.
Faṭimah: What if a woman with light or medium Istiḥāḍa, due to ignorance of the ruling, performs both prayers with one wuḍū? What is the ruling?
Mother: If the blood has reached the cotton in the meantime, she must repeat the second prayer with a new wuḍū. If the time for the prayer has passed, she must perform it as a missed prayer (qaḍā).
