Prayer is remitted for a woman during menstruation, and she sins if she prays, and her prayer is not accepted. This is part of the deficiency in her religion mentioned in the noble Hadith. Muslims have unanimously agreed that a menstruating woman is not obligated to pray or fast during her period, nor is she required to make up the prayers. However, she must make up the fasts. The difference lies in the difficulty of making up prayers due to their large number. Therefore, she is not required to make up the prayers after she becomes pure, and it is not permissible for anyone to make them up on her behalf.
