The answer

It is forbidden for a menstruating woman to pray, and it is not permissible for her to feign prayer out of shyness. The prayer of a menstruating woman is not permissible, based on the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) saying: “Is it not true that when she menstruates, she neither prays nor fasts?” Furthermore, her prayer is neither valid nor is she required to make it up, based on the statement of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): “We were commanded to make up for the fasts, but we were not commanded to make up for the prayers.” Her praying out of shyness is forbidden for her.
