Should a woman make up the prayers she missed if she did not confirm her purity from menstruation until after the prayer time had elapsed or more?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A woman who doubts the cessation of her menstruation is originally considered to be in a state of menstruation until she is certain of her purity. Then she should perform ghusl (ritual bath) and pray. She is not obligated to make up the prayers whose obligation she doubted, because the original state is the continuation of menstruation.
