Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh! The questioner asks: Is the menstruating woman to be treated like the one in a state of major ritual impurity, such that if she wants to sleep, she performs ablution?
The Shaykh:
No, because menstruation is continuous, unlike major ritual impurity. The duration of major ritual impurity is short, and a person can remove it, whereas menstruation does not end except when it stops, and its duration is long. There is no report that the menstruating woman performs ablution when she sleeps. Was this reported?
The presenter:
You calculate for Allah.
The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
