Ruling on Blood Lasting Less Than Ten Days

Question
A 52-year-old woman has her period for two months, then it stops for two months. This month, she had bleeding for eight days, then it stopped, and she performed Ghusl and prayed. Then the bleeding started again. Should she pray or not?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: If she menstruates for ten days, she does not pray, and if it occurs afterwards, she prays; because it is considered irregular bleeding, and God knows best.
