Ruling on Blood Flow for More Than Ten Days

Question
A woman gave birth 8 months ago and her period has not regularized due to breastfeeding; for the past fifteen days, she has been experiencing intermittent spots of blood daily. Should she fast and pray?
Answer

I say, and with God's success: If her bleeding continues for more than ten days, it is considered her last valid period, and the rest is considered irregular bleeding. This is if the interval is fifteen days. If her last period was six days, and she has now seen eleven days, then she considers six days as menstruation and five days as irregular bleeding. And God knows best.
