The answer

A menstruating woman is not permitted to pray or fast. She must make up for the missed fasts, but not for the missed prayers. It is permissible for a husband to kiss his menstruating wife without engaging in sexual intercourse, provided he can control himself. It is recommended to delay consummation until the woman is purified. It is praiseworthy for the couple to pray two rak'ahs before consummation. If the woman is menstruating, the husband should pray alone. Then the husband should recite the narrated supplication: "O Allah, I ask You for her goodness and the goodness of what You have instilled in her, and I seek refuge in You from her evil and the evil of what You have instilled in her."
