Brief Answer:
No safe period

Detailed Answer:
Precum has to be deposited inside vagina to cause pregnancy.
This is a sure fact that without penetrative sexual activity there cannot be pregnancy.
Safe period calculation is very vague in patients with irregular cycles and is rather a guess and not at all a safe practice to rely on that specially when you cannot afford pregnancy at all.
So better ask her to start oral contraceptive pills on daily basis or use condoms while having sex.
All the best.
In case you have any questions about it, I will be glad to answer.
