296. Asmā' bint Umais narrated: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! Fāṭimah bint Abī Ḥubaish has suffered from Istiḥādah for such and such a period (of time), so she does not pray.' So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Subḥān Allāh! This (Istiḥādah) is from Shaitān. She should sit in a tub, until she sees the yellow (discharge) above the water. Then she should perform one Ghusl for Zuhr and ʿAṣr, and one Ghusl for Maghrib and Ishā', and perform one Ghusl for Fajr. And she should perform Wudū' in between these (two prayers).'" (Ḍa'if)
Abū Dāwūd said: Mujāhid reported it from Ibn 'Abbās that when performing Ghusl becomes difficult for her, he commanded her to combine between the two prayers.[1]
Abū Dāwūd said: Ibrāhīm reported it from Ibn 'Abbās, and it is the saying of Ibrāhīm An-Nakha'ī, and 'Abdullāh bin Shaddād.

Commentary
This is the popular view; performing Ghusl for every two prayers is commendable, otherwise performing Ghusl at the end of menstruation is enough, and performing Wudū' for each prayer when suffering from Istiḥādah.
