The Ruling on a Menstruating Woman Making Up Fasting and Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: What is the reason for the statement of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that a woman makes up fasting but does not make up prayer?
Answer:
Yes, this is how the Sunnah is: a menstruating woman makes up fasting but does not make up prayer. This is because prayer is frequent, and it would be difficult for her to make it up. The prayers that pass while she is menstruating are numerous, so making them up would be burdensome. Therefore, Allah has lightened the obligation of making up prayer for her. As for menstruation, it does not repeat every day; it does not repeat every day. Therefore, she makes up fasting, because fasting does not repeat; it is only one month, the month of Ramadan. Yes.
