Salam Alaikom, I have a condition that results in intermittent bleeding onto my underwear. I am not home most of the day, what do I have to do in regards to prayer. Do I have to check before every prayer?
In Islamic law, this is called istihaadha. It is similar to menstruation in the fact that this blood is najs. It's different than menstruation in the fact that you continue to pray and fast regularly, but you need to redo wudu at the beginning of every prayer time, and you may pray the Sunnah and the Fardh and as many prayers during a single prayer time using one wudu, similar to the case of a person with urine incontinence.
Also, please note that your clothes must be clean from the blood. Wear appropriate pads, and if blood touches your underwear, you'll have to scrub it with water seven times to remove the najaasah, according to our matthab.
If you can differentiate between this istihadha blood and your menstrual cycle blood, that's great, if not, ask and I can explain further.
