209. It was narrated from Umm Salamah that a woman suffered constant bleeding at the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, so Umm Salamah consulted the Prophet ﷺ for her. He said: "Let her count the number of nights and days that she used to menstruate each month before this happened to her, and let her stop praying for that amount of time each month. Then when that is over let her perform Ghusl, then let her use a pad, and pray." (Da'if)
208 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ تَعْنِي، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً كَانَتْ تُهَرَاقُ الدَّمَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَاسْتَفْتَتْ لَهَا أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «لِتَنْظُرْ عَدَدَ اللَّيَالِي وَالْأَيَّامِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تَحِيضُ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصِيبَهَا الَّذِي أَصَابَهَا، فَلْتَتْرُكِ الصَّلَاةَ قَدْرَ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ، فَإِذَا خَلَّفَتْ ذَلِكَ فَلْتَغْتَسِلْ، ثُمَّ لِتَسْتَثْفِرْ، ثُمَّ لِتُصَلِّي»

If a woman had menses previously according to a normal schedule, and if she then begins to bleed outside of that schedule, she should calculate her menses days based on her previous schedule, and she should abandon prayer for the duration of those days. And if she had irregular bleeding from the beginning, she should differentiate between the blood of menses and the abnormal blood by observing its color. If she cannot distinguish between the two by its color, she should consider six or seven days as being her menstrual period for every month. Every month, after that period ends, she should take a bath and begin to offer obligatory prayers regularly.
