A sister asks about her situation during minor istihada. After checking and performing wudu for the Dhuhr or Maghrib prayer, she monitored herself again for the second obligatory prayer, Asr or Isha, and found purity on her pad. Does she need to renew her wudu for the second prayer, or can she suffice with one wudu for both prayers?

Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
Ayatollah Khamenei (may God protect him):
If purity is achieved even inside the private area and wudu is performed after achieving purity, one wudu is sufficient for both prayers. However, if blood returns after the wudu, a second wudu is necessary for Asr or Isha.

Ayatollah Sistani (may God protect him):
There is no need for her to renew the wudu for Asr or Isha.
