If
a woman ends her menses before sunset, she must perform the
Zhuhr and ‘Asr prayers
Question:
When a menstruating woman becomes pure before sunrise is it
obligatory upon her to perform the Maghrib and Isha prayers?
Similarly, if She becomes pure before sunset, is it obligatory
upon her to perform the Zhuhr and ‘Asr prayers?
Response:
If a menstruating or post-partum bleeding woman becomes pure
before sunset, it is obligatory upon her to perform both the
Zhuhr and ‘Asr prayers according to the strongest opinion
among the scholars. Similar is the case if she becomes pure
before dawn. In that case, she must perform the Maghrib and
Isha prayers. This has been narrated from ‘Abdur-Rahmaan Ibn
Anf and ‘Abdullaah Ibn ‘Abbaas. This is the opinion of the
majority of the scholars. Similarly, if a menstruating or
post-partum bleeding woman becomes pure before sunrise, it
is obligatory upon her to perform the Fajr prayer.
And
from Allaah is guidance.
