Question: What is the ruling if a woman’s menstrual period begins when the time for an obligatory prayer enters? Does she have to make up that obligatory prayer after the period ends?

Answer: If the time for the obligatory prayer enters upon her and then her period begins, then when the period ends and she performs the full ritual bath, it is obligatory for her to make up this prayer whose time she caught; because it became obligatory upon her when its time entered, and she was unable to perform it at that time. So when the impediment is removed and she performs the full ritual bath from menstruation, it is obligatory for her to make up this missed prayer immediately; because making up missed prayers is done immediately.

Question: If it happens that she becomes pure and performs the full ritual bath while she is still in the time of an obligatory prayer, in that time, is that prayer obligatory upon her?

Answer: The order is obligatory. She must make up the missed prayer first, then perform the current prayer.
