A woman who started menstruating when the time for 'Asr began, and she had not yet prayed Zuhr: is it obligatory for her to make up the Zuhr prayer or not?

The questioner : Well, Shaykh, likewise regarding his statement: "If a woman menstruates at the end of the time."

The Shaykh : What did you say?

The questioner : If a woman menstruates at the end of the time, meaning, it appears to me, and Allah knows best, that a woman should fear Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) and hasten, especially if she is accustomed to doing so. The one who is not accustomed to being careful about the beginning of the time, that is a known matter... This is important, for fear that the time passes. Let us suppose the time passed for this menstruating woman and she had not prayed that prayer. Do you see that she must make it up? Or is the matter, of course, known... that she does not make it up, except for certain things. Do you see that she does not make it up, Shaykh?

The Shaykh : I hope your answer to my question will be one word?

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : Who is this question about?

The questioner : The menstruating woman who delayed until the end of the time, meaning she delayed and did not hasten... She could have prayed, for example... then the time for 'Asr entered, meaning... menstruation came.

The Shaykh : The time for 'Asr entered and she menstruated, and she had not yet prayed Zuhr.

The questioner : Yes, but Shaykh... she delayed, she postponed until the time for 'Asr entered.

The Shaykh : My brother, may Allah guide you.

The questioner: Amen.

The Shaykh : You are dragging this out on me a bit. She menstruated in the time of 'Asr, and she had not prayed Zuhr; is that so?

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : Well, why did she not pray Zuhr while she was still in a state of purity?

The questioner : Yes, delaying...

The Shaykh : Delaying until...

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : I mean, the question now is that she did not pray Zuhr in the time of 'Asr, just as if she were a man.

The questioner : She did not pray Zuhr in its time, not 'Asr.

The Shaykh : Excuse me, yes, in the time of Zuhr. I made a mistake. Just as if she were a man.

The questioner : Yes, it is the same.

The Shaykh : There is no difference between them.

The questioner : Yes, yes.

The Shaykh : Well, you know the ruling for the man, so he does not make it up because there is no making up, so she also does not make it up.

The questioner : She is sinful, is that not so, Shaykh?

The Shaykh : Sinful? How is she not?

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : Unless she had an excuse. Why am I giving you the example of the man? Unless she intended to combine, for example, between Zuhr and 'Asr to remove hardship, in which case there is no sin on her and no making up on her, like 'Asr.

The questioner : Yes, Shaykh, or if she intended a formal combination, Shaykh.

The Shaykh : How?

The questioner : Or if she intended to combine a formal combination, the formal combination means...

The Shaykh : Do you understand, do you understand, my brother?

The questioner : I mean, this also falls under the excuse.

The Shaykh : Well, then why did she not combine formally?

The questioner : Yes, yes, may Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.

The questioner : Well, Shaykh, may Allah reward you with good...
