Hadith 955

وَقَالَ حَمَّادٌ: "لَوْ أَنَّ مُسْتَحَاضَةً جَهِلَتْ فَتَرَكَتْ الصَّلَاةَ أَشْهُرًا، فَإِنَّهَا تَقْضِي تِلْكَ الصَّلَوَاتِ، قِيلَ لَهُ: وَكَيْفَ تَقْضِيهَا ؟، قَالَ: تَقْضِيهَا فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ إِنْ اسْتَطَاعَتْ"، قِيلَ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ: تَقُولُ بِهِ ؟، قَالَ: إِي وَاللَّهِ.
Hammad said: If a woman experiencing istihada (non-menstrual bleeding) does not pray for several months due to ignorance, then she must make up all those missed prayers. It was asked: How will she make them up? He said: If she has the strength, she should make up all the missed prayers in a single day. Imam Darimi, may Allah have mercy on him, was asked: Do you also say this? He replied: «أي والله» (Yes, by Allah, I also say this).

Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadiths 938 to 955)
In this chapter, Imam Darimi rahimahullah has explained, through the hadiths of the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and the statements of the Imams, the rulings and issues concerning the woman whose days of menstruation (hayd) and irregular bleeding (istihada) become mixed up.

From numbers 931 to 940, it is discussed whether a woman experiencing istihada should perform a ritual bath (ghusl) for every prayer or not. The correct view in this matter is that if there is no hardship, she should perform ghusl for every prayer; otherwise, she should perform one ghusl for Dhuhr and Asr, one for Maghrib and Isha, and one for Fajr.

The second issue is regarding the waiting period (‘iddah) of such a woman. If a woman experiencing istihada is divorced, her ‘iddah is three menstrual cycles (hayd). If her bleeding does not stop, then how long should her ‘iddah be? The correct view in this regard is that such a woman should observe a waiting period of three months. And if the divorced woman’s menstruation has ceased, then she should observe a period of one year—nine months for ensuring she is not pregnant (istibra’) and three months for ‘iddah.

And Allah knows best.
