[Machine] Abu Kamil's mother, Umm Habibah, sent a message to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying that she experienced istihadah (abnormal bleeding) for seven years and she consulted him about it. He responded that it was not menstruation but rather istihadah, so she should perform ablution and pray. She would then perform ablution for each prayer, pray, and sit on a spot where the redness of the blood would appear, then she would pray.
