Is the menstruating woman and the woman with post-natal bleeding credited with the good deeds they used to perform, like the sick person or the traveler?

The questioner : If the sick person and the traveler are set aside from what was said about the healthy or resident person, does not all of it also imply a summary of the soundness of this hadith?

The Shaykh : There is a difficulty with this in reality. That is, if a sick person is accustomed to good deeds but cannot fast them because of his illness—whether prevented by capacity or by the Shari'ah? By capacity—do we say that his religion is deficient because of that? We say it is established in the Sunnah that if one becomes sick or travels, he is credited with what he used to do while healthy and resident. He is credited with what he used to do while healthy and resident. And at that point, we ask: what is the difference between him and the menstruating woman? Because the menstruating woman leaves off prayer and fasting for a legal excuse, even though she is accustomed to this or not? She is accustomed to it. So why is she not credited with what she used to do in a state of purity? What is the answer? The people press, the people press. We say this is it. We say if the text comes with something, there must be a difference, but our understanding falls short of it. Or it is said that the statement "he is credited with what he used to do while healthy and resident" means a recording, but it does not equal the worker in every aspect. But this is far-fetched. So what I see is that it should be said that the text distinguished between them, and we . In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Another questioner : Regarding menstruation, it is not considered an illness, where the woman is compared to iron, because when menstruation comes to her, she weakens and is affected.

The Shaykh : Yes, but may Allah bless you, we cannot compare it, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) made it a deficiency in his religion. In the sense of reward. If we made it like the sick person, she would be credited with what she used to do while healthy and resident, and there would be no deficiency. Therefore, there is nothing but the text. It is said that the text distinguished between them, and Allah knows best. Then, menstruation in reality is not a pure illness, but rather a blood of nature and constitution. For this reason, if menstruation stops and she is one who is accustomed to menstruating, she becomes ill and is harmed.
