Ruling on Blood Lasting More Than Ten Days

Question
The questioner says: She has irregularities in her menstrual days; she used to see blood for eight days, then it became eleven days. On the first day, she sees spotting, then flow, then spotting until the eleventh day. What is the ruling on her prayers during the first and last days?
Answer

I say, and with Allah's success: If the blood exceeds ten days, it is considered invalid blood, and the woman returns to her previous habit, thus she must make up for the extra days beyond her previous habit. In our case, she must make up for two days of prayers, and as soon as the tenth day passes, she should perform ghusl and pray. And Allah knows best.
