\n\tIn the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen a woman is going through her monthly menstruation, she will not pray. The reason for the following is because of the following  Ahaadith:<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSayyidatina Aisha says," We set out with the sole intention of performing Hajj and when we reached Sarif, (a place six miles from Mecca) I got my menses. Allah's Messenger (\ufdfa<\/span>) came to me while I was weeping. He said ' What is the matter with you? Have you got your menses? ' I replied, 'Yes.' He said, 'This is a thing which Allah has ordained for the daughters of Adam. So do what all the pilgrims do with the exception of the Tawaf (Circumambulation) round the Kaaba. " `Aisha added," Allah's Messenger (\ufdfa<\/span>) sacrificed cows on behalf of his wives. "<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn another narration it says:<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSayyidatina Aisha reported: Fatimah bint  Abu Hubaish came to the Apostle (may peace be upon him) and said: I am a woman whose blood keeps flowing (even after the menstruation period). I am never purified; should I, therefore, abandon prayer? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Not at all, for that is only a vein, and is not a menstruation, so when menstruation comes, abandon prayer, and when it ends wash the blood from yourself and then pray.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tApart from the above <\/span><\/span>ahadith<\/span><\/span>, if one is to look at the Quran ayah:<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd they ask you about menstruation. Say, "It is harm (or a period of pain), so keep away from wives during menstruation. And do not approach them until they are pure. And when they have purified themselves, then come to them from where Allah has ordained for you. Indeed, Allah loves those who are constantly repentant and loves those who purify themselves." [Surah Baqarah, ayah 222]<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIf one looks at the above ayah, Allah says that it's a period of pain and someone who experiences such pain will understand that it's not a nice experience and a very difficult period that all women go through, so something to consider is that during this pain Allah relieves women from her daily prayers and Quran recitation, so in such <\/span><\/span>case,<\/span><\/span> a woman will get rest and be relieved of extra worship through this tough time, and still be rewarded by A<\/span><\/span>lmighty<\/span><\/span> Allah.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
