Halakhah for Temurah 58:24
אפי' בזונה ישראלית כגון דקאי בחצרה
'If he had intercourse with her and then he gave her her hire, it is legitimate for the altar'.
Sefer HaChinukh
From the laws of the commandment is that which they, may their memory be blessed, said (Niddah 32a) that a woman becomes impure as a menstruant even on the day of her birth; whereas the law is not like this with a zavah - as a woman does not become impure with a discharge until ten days [of age]. And this thing is by way of the heard tradition. And all women are included in this prohibition, and even Canaanite (gentile) maidservants - since they are included in the commandments, they are like Israelitesses for this matter (Sifra, Metzora Parashat Zavim, Section 5:1). But the women of the [other] nations of the world are not included in the prohibition of menstruation and discharge from Torah writ, but rather [only] rabbinically. As they decreed about them - whether males or whether females - that they be like a zav for all their matters (Niddah 34a). And that which they said in the Gemara (Avodah Zarah 36b) that one who has intercourse with a gentile woman is liable because of her on account of nashgaz (the acrostic of the four prohibitions about to be named) - the explanation of which is a menstruant, a maidservant, a gentile woman and an unfaithful woman (zonah). And this liability is only rabbinic for an Israelite. But for a man who is a priest, he is liable because of her from Torah writ on account of an unfaithful woman (Temurah 29b); and he is lashed because of her.
