What acts of worship can a menstruating woman perform to draw closer to God during her period, especially since she feels distant from worship and distressed during these days?
It is not surprising for a believing woman to be keen on worship, as Aisha was prevented from circumambulating the Kaaba during her menstruation. However, this does not prevent a menstruating woman from remembering Allah and reciting the Quran by heart. Her compliance with abandoning what she was forbidden from during menstruation is an act of worship for which she will be rewarded. The fear of hypocrisy is praiseworthy and a sign of faith, and it drives one to strive in acts of obedience. However, one must be careful that it does not become an AVENUE for Satan to instill whispers and despair.
