Excessive Istiḥāḍa
Faṭimah: What duties does a woman with excessive Istiḥāḍa have?
Mother: In excessive Istiḥāḍa, wuḍū is not required, but she must perform three ghusls during the day and pray immediately after each ghusl:
1. The first ghusl is for the Fajr prayer.
2. The second ghusl is for the Ẓuhr and ʿAṣr prayers if they are performed consecutively.
3. The third ghusl is for the Maghrib and Isha prayers if they are performed consecutively.
As an obligatory precautiona, she should also change or wash the cotton and sanitary pad before each prayer.
Faṭimah: What if a woman with excessive Istiḥāḍa delays between the two prayers? What is the ruling?
Mother: In that case, she must perform another ghusl before the second prayer.
Faṭimah: What if a woman with excessive Istiḥāḍa is ill and unable to perform ghusl? What is the ruling?
Mother: If performing ghusl is harmful or causes extreme hardship, she may perform tayammum (dry ablution) instead, and this will suffice in place of ghusl.
