620. It was narrated from 'Urwah bin Zubair that Fâtimah bint Abi Hubaish narrated to him that she went to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and complained to him about bleeding. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Rather that is a vein, so look and see when your period comes, then do not perform the prayer. When the period is over, then purify yourself and perform the prayer between one period to the next." (Da'if)

Commentary
'That is a vein' means it is a ailment, not the regular menstrual blood. As such the rules governing the routine period do not apply to it.
A woman suffering from bleeding out of her ordinary periods must also take a bath at the end of the menstruation period, like a normal woman and thereafter start praying like a normal woman. She can also go to the mosque,
read the Qur'ân and let the husband have intercourse with her, and do all things that are forbidden during the monthly period for a woman.
