Is there a benefit in menstruation for the menstruating woman?

Question : What do you mean? That Allah’s decree regarding the menstruating woman is menstruation, but it is beloved for something else. So what is this beloved thing for this Ummah?

Answer : Its origin is that Allah the Exalted created it for the benefit of the menstruating woman, meaning He did not create it so that she would not pray or so that she would not fast. Allah the Exalted created it for the nourishment of the child; there is no doubt about this, and it is necessary.
