The Woman Ignorant of the Rulings on Menstruation and Making Up Missed Prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling if menstruation occurs for an ignorant woman? He says: What is the ruling if menstrual blood comes out for an ignorant woman who does not know its rulings and does not know how to distinguish between menstruation and irregular non-menstrual bleeding? Does she have to make up the prayers she left off during the days of bleeding, even if there were many?
Answer:
Yes, she has to make up the prayers she left off, and it is not permissible for her to leave them off. This requires knowing exactly what happened with her. So she asks the scholars, and the scholar asks her for details and gives her a ruling, if Allah wills. But the prayer is not dropped in any case; it is not dropped in any case due to forgetfulness or ignorance. Yes.
