Summary
A woman with istihadah must repeat her ablution if the bleeding stops during or after ablution, whether before or during the prayer, provided the pause is long enough to perform ablution and prayer. Her ablution is also invalidated when the bleeding stops completely, even if the stop is continuous with the end of the ablution. If the blood returns so that there is no time to perform ablution, repeating it is not required. If the bleeding stops after the prayer is completed, the prayer is valid but her ablution is invalidated and must be renewed for the next obligatory prayer.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Wanita istihadah yang mengambil wuduk dan mendapati darahnya berhenti mengalir keluar sama ada selepas atau semasa mengambil wuduk dan sebelum solat atau semasa solat, maka dia wajib mengulangi wuduknya
