Question in detail: After waiting for ten days, ghusl is performed. However, the bleeding continues for an additional three days. During these last three days, the person performs their prayers as someone with a continuous excuse. After that, the bleeding stops completely. In such a case, is it necessary to perform ghusl again?
Istihaza bleeding is not the same as menstrual (hayd) bleeding; rather, it is considered illness-related bleeding. Therefore, it is not subject to the rulings of menstruation. For this reason, it is not necessary to perform ghusl after the cessation of istihaza bleeding.
For example, if ghusl is performed after ten days but bleeding continues for three more days, this bleeding is considered istihaza. After the completion of ten days, ghusl is performed and acts of worship are resumed. If the bleeding continues, a new ablution (wudu) is taken for each prayer time and the prayers are performed. Once the bleeding stops completely, there is no need to perform ghusl again.
