Sumi reports that Qaqa’ bin Hakim and Zaid bin Aslam sent Sumi to Sa’id bin al-Musayyib to ask him how a woman with istihada (non-menstrual bleeding) should perform ghusl. Sa’id said: She should perform ghusl from one period of purity to the next, and perform wudu for every prayer. If there is a lot of blood, she should tie a cloth over her private part.
