A menstruating woman can seek Laylat al-Qadr through remembrance (dhikr), reciting the Qur'an, supplication (du'a), seeking forgiveness (istighfar), and giving charity (). She can perform every good deed that does not depend on ritual purity from menstruation. It is also permissible for her to use menstruation-delaying pills to witness Laylat al-Qadr while ritually pure.
