Does a menstruating woman make up the missed prayers?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
My final question is: Is it correct that when a woman becomes pure from her monthly period, she must make up the obligatory prayers, one by one and at their respective times, for all the days she spent menstruating? Or does she simply perform the same prayer without repeating it?
And to you, abundant thanks.
Answer:
There is no obligation to make up missed prayers for a menstruating woman or a woman with post-natal bleeding. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "We were commanded to make up missed fasts, but we were not commanded to make up missed prayers." She only makes up the days of Ramadan that she did not fast, whether she was in a state of post-natal bleeding or menstruation.
As for the prayer, Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) has waived it for both the menstruating woman and the woman with post-natal bleeding. The wisdom behind this—and Allah knows best—is that it is frequently repeated. If they were commanded to make it up, it would be burdensome for them. So, out of Allah's mercy, He has waived the prayers during menstruation and post-natal bleeding. Therefore, she does not make them up. She only makes up the fasts for the days she did not fast in Ramadan. Yes.
