Do leakages and bleeding other than menstruation prevent prayers? Can prayers be performed with the clothes smeared by those leakages?

The Details of the Question

- Can women perform prayers with the clothes speared by some leakage (not sperm) anywhere?

The Answer

Dear Brother / Sister,

When there is a leakage in the period of menstruation, women do not perform prayers.

A person who has leakage of istihada is regarded as excused; therefore, this leakage does not prevent a woman from performing prayers. The leakage of istihada that occurs outside menstruation period is regarded as najasah ghalizah (heavy impurity); therefore, when it reaches the amount of exemption, prayers cannot be performed with those clothes.
