The Ruling of the Confused Woman

Question
The confused woman who has forgotten her habit should take the more cautious approach in rulings; does 'the more cautious approach' mean ten days for her?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is safer that what she is most certain is her menstruation or purity, she should act accordingly. If she is in doubt, she should pray and fast as a precaution. And God knows best.
