The Ruling on a Woman Praying While Menstruating
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
My father says to me: Why did you not pray Maghrib with me in Ramadan, while I was in a state of excuse? And after that, I stand with them and say the takbir. Is that permissible?
Answer: If you are in an excuse of menstruation, the monthly period, then that is not permissible for you. Rather, you must excuse yourself by stating that you are excused by the Shari'ah regarding prayer. As for if you are healthy and your father prays with you, for example, the tarawih, or prays with you the obligatory prayer if he missed it due to illness or because it was missed in the mosque, and you pray with him, then there is no harm. You pray behind him, he is in front of you, and the women are behind him, and there is no harm in that.
And it is not permissible for him to pray in the house... if he has no excuse. Rather, it is obligatory for him to pray in the mosques. As for women, their homes are better for them and more excellent. But if it is assumed that he was delayed due to illness or another ailment until he missed the prayer in congregation, and he prays the obligatory prayer with you, then there is no harm. And you pray with them if you are valid for prayer. As for if you are in post-natal bleeding or in menstruation, then that is not permissible for you. And praise be to Allah, this is a Shari'ah matter, so there is no objection to explaining it, and that you are excused, and that you are in a period, the monthly period, or in post-natal bleeding. Clarify, yes, so that you are not accused of abandoning prayer. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
