[Machine] Aisha said, "I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about a woman whose menstruation becomes irregular and she experiences unexpected bleeding, and she doesn't know how to pray. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded me to tell her to estimate the duration of her normal menstrual cycle every month, and when her period comes, she should count the days and nights, then she should stop praying for that period of time. After that, she should perform ghusl (ritual purification) and ensure cleanliness, then seek forgiveness with a cloth, and then she can pray. I hope that this is from Shaytan and that Allah will remove it from her if He wills." Aisha continued, "I commanded her to do so, and she did it, and Allah removed it from her. So, inform your companion about this, using the words of the hadith of Ibrahim bin Ali."

Bahiyyah said: I heard a woman asking Aisha about the woman whose menses became abnormal and she had an issue of blood. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked me to advise her that she should consider the period during which she used to menstruate every month, when her menstruation was normal. Then she should count the days equal to the length of time (of her normal menses); then she should abandon prayer during those days or equal to that period. She should then take a bath, tie a cloth on her private parts a pray. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 284)
