Deeds of righteousness that compensate the menstruating woman for fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And may Allah bless you. O dear brothers, listeners, in this session we raise some miscellaneous questions to the Honorable Shaykh. Perhaps we should begin with this question, in which the questioner says: Guide me, Honorable Shaykh, to deeds of righteousness and good that I may compensate for my not fasting during my monthly period.
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. As for what follows, the sphere of worship is open to the menstruating woman, whether the worship is verbal, physical, or spiritual. However, she is prevented from specific acts of worship, such as prayer, fasting, circumambulation of the Ka'bah, reciting the Qur'an, and touching the mushaf. These are specific acts of worship, or specific matters, as is intercourse. But before her are tasbih, tahlil, and takbir—the remembrance of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). Before her is charity. Before her is enjoining good and forbidding evil, and calling to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Before her are many spheres of good deeds. Yes.
