What is the ruling on making up the Zuhr prayer for a menstruating woman if she becomes pure before sunset?

Question : Okay, this is Khalid al-Sa'igh, yes. He says: The Shaykh al-Islam stated that if a menstruating woman becomes pure before sunset, she should pray the Zuhr and 'Asr. He cited the views of 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf, Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), Ibn 'Umar, and Abu Hurayrah. The Shaykh said that this is the view of the majority of jurists, and he stated in al-Minhaj that no disagreement was transmitted from the Companions regarding this. Does this give preference to the Hanbali position in this issue? I have a problem with this.

Answer : It should not be a problem for you, if Allah wills. Regarding the statements of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), two things are required. The first is the authenticity of these statements from them; it is not sufficient to simply say "this is the view of so-and-so" and "this is the view of so-and-so" until the statement is authentically established from them. The hadiths of Ibn 'Abbas and Abu Hurayrah contain weakness. The second, after it is established from a Companion, is there anything from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that contradicts it?
One also looks at the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said and did not address the Zuhr prayer. Furthermore, this Zuhr prayer passed while she was not obligated to pray. If we were to say that Zuhr is combined with 'Asr, we would say that if a woman menstruates during the time of Zuhr and then becomes pure, she is required to make up both Zuhr and 'Asr. But these scholars do not say that, so there is no difference between the two scenarios. The stronger view is that she is only required to make up 'Asr, meaning the time in which she became pure. Perhaps you should verify these reports, is that not so? Okay.
