If a woman experiencing istiḥāḍah (non-menstrual vaginal bleeding) performs ablution after the time for prayer has begun, then her ablution is invalidated by wind before she prays, she must renew her ablution, but she is not required to use a protective pad. However, if her ablution is invalidated by urine, she must perform istinjā’ (cleaning after relieving oneself), use a protective pad, and repeat her ablution.
