The questioner : Now, what is the ruling on her performing the prayer while she is not in a state of ritual purity, when she is only afraid of or shy before the people that she will not pray?
The Shaykh: And she is not in a state of ritual purity?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Do you mean the woman who is menstruating?
The questioner : She is not in a state of ritual purity and does not want to purify herself; rather, she wants to stand before the people to ward off the shame from herself.
The Shaykh : Her prayer is forbidden for her, and it is not permissible for her to pray while she is menstruating, nor to pray after she has become pure but has not performed the full ritual bath.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : He also asks what is the preferred supplication...
The Shaykh : Yes, if she does not have water, for example, and she has become pure but she does not have water, then she performs dry ablution with clean earth and prays until she finds water, and then she performs the full ritual bath.
