The Blood That Lasts for More Than Ten Days

Question
A woman has been experiencing bleeding for fifteen days; what should she do, and what are the rulings that apply to her?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: After the menstrual blood exceeds ten days, one must perform ghusl (ritual washing) and pray; because it is the blood of istihada (irregular bleeding). She should observe the days that follow her known cycle, and God knows best.
