The question

How authentic is the Hadith: "If a woman, after her menstruation, performs a ritual bath and prays two rak'ahs, reciting Al-Fatiha and Surat Al-Ikhlas three times in each rak'ah, Allah will forgive all her sins, minor and major, and no sin will be recorded against her until her next menstruation. And He will grant her the reward of 60 martyrs, build for her a city in Paradise, and grant her a light for every hair on her head. And if she dies before her next menstruation, she dies as a martyr?"

The answer

This Hadith is false, baseless, and it is not permissible to narrate it or attribute it to the Prophet (peace be upon him), due to its absence in the books of Sunnah and the clear signs of fabrication evident in it. One must be cautious about being lenient in narrating Hadith; nothing should be narrated except what has been verified as authentically attributed to the Prophet (peace be upon him), while consulting scholars on this matter, due to the gravity of lying about him (peace be upon him) and the warning of Hellfire for anyone who intentionally lies about him. And whoever narrates a Hadith which he knows to be a lie, then he is one of the liars.
