The ruling on a woman who begins menstruating during prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner (A. D. M.) says: What is the ruling for a woman who begins menstruating during prayer? Does she have to break her prayer and make it up after her purification, or does she complete her prayer?
Answer:
If menstruation begins for a woman while she is praying, her prayer becomes invalid, just as a man’s prayer becomes invalid if he urinates while praying. However, the menstruating woman is not required to make up the prayer in which her menstruation began. If she does make it up, there is no harm in that. She is not obligated to make up the prayer in which her menstruation began. If she makes it up after her purification, there is no blame on her; otherwise, it is not required of her, unless she delays it until the time for the prayer has narrowed. In that case, she must make it up. But if she is still in the middle of the time or at the beginning of it, she does not make it up. Yes.
