Question:
Some Shafi'i jurists said that the reward of prayer is recorded for a menstruating woman during her period, based on the generality of the hadith of Abu Musa:Sahih al-Bukhari 2996?
Answer:
That is far-fetched. The apparent evidence indicates that if Allah knows from her heart that she would have prayed were it not for menstruation, she receives the reward of those who pray, just as, and as He said regarding the Companions who lagged behind on the day of Tabuk: , and in the other wording: Sunan Ibn Majah 2765Sahih (Darussalam). So if Allah knows from the heart of the menstruating woman and the woman in post-natal bleeding that nothing prevented her except this, the full reward is hoped for her.
Q: The hadith: "Deficient in religion."
The Shaykh: The hadith is established, but it does not prevent [the reward].

If a servant falls ill or travels, Allah writes for him what he used to do while he was healthy and resident.
إذا مرض العبد أو سافر كتب الله له ما كان يعمله وهو صحيح مقيمYou did not traverse a valley or cross a ravine except that they were with you.
ما سلكتم واديًا ولا قطعتم شعبًا إلا وهم معكمthey shared with you in the reward. They were kept behind by (legitimate) excuses.
