Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A woman who slept before the time of 'Isha' ended, then got up after the sun had risen and saw that she was pure, but does not know when she became pure. What should she pray?
The Shaykh : She should exercise caution, but it is not obligatory for her to make up anything other than what she is certain she was pure for. She does not know whether she became pure after the sun rose, or after the dawn broke, or after the twilight disappeared; all of this is possible. Therefore, in the original state, nothing is required of her, because the original state is the absence of purity and the continuation of menstruation. However, if she exercises caution and makes up the 'Isha' and Fajr prayers, that is good.
