The reason a woman makes up fasting but not prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Excellency the Shaykh, the questioner says: Why does a woman make up fasting but not make up prayer after menstruation? May Allah bless you.
Answer:
Yes, the Sunnah is that a menstruating woman makes up fasting but does not make up prayer, because prayer is frequent and it would be difficult for her to make up the prayers that passed while she was menstruating, as they are numerous. Therefore, Allah lightened the burden for her by not requiring her to make up the prayers. As for fasting, since it does not recur, she makes up the fasting; because fasting does not recur, it is only one month, the month of Ramadan. Yes.
