What is the ruling on the purity (tahara) and prayer of a woman experiencing intermittent bleeding if the cessation of blood is brief and does not allow for purification and prayer?

Primary text

If a woman with a pattern of menstrual cessation has a brief interruption of bleeding that does not allow time for purification and prayer, and she performs ablution (wudu) during this interval, her purification and any prayer performed during it are not invalidated. This is because the brief cessation does not serve the necessary purpose (for establishing purity).
