If a woman becomes pure in Ramadan before the midday prayer, should she abstain and pray?

The questioner : Honorable Shaykh. The questioner is with us on the line, inquiring and saying: If a woman becomes pure in Ramadan before the midday prayer, does she complete fasting with the people and pray?

The Shaykh : If a woman becomes pure in Ramadan before the midday prayer, it is obligatory for her to take a full ritual bath and pray, but she is not required to abstain. She may eat and drink, and she owes nothing.

The questioner : Because he is

The Shaykh : Because the time for this day has passed.

The questioner : All right. Well, what if she did.

The Shaykh : She became pure before dawn. And as for if she became pure before dawn, but was not able to take a full ritual bath until after dawn, there is no harm; she fasts even if she has not taken a full ritual bath.

The questioner : Good, good.

The Shaykh : And this issue is one that women must pay attention to. Some women become pure half an hour before dawn and are not able to take a full ritual bath until after dawn, and they do not fast, and this is a mistake. It is obligatory for a woman, if she becomes pure before dawn, even by ten minutes, to intend to fast. And if she does not take a full ritual bath until after dawn, there is no blame on her.

The questioner : So there is no blame, meaning may Allah reward you with good and may Allah bless you.

The Shaykh : As for the one who becomes pure during the day, she takes a full ritual bath and prays, but fasting is not required of her.

The questioner : And it is not taken away.

The Shaykh : In this day thereafter.
