Should a woman make up missed prayers after performing ghusl following a major ritual impurity, or should she wait for the next prayer?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Whoever delays a prayer until its time has expired must pray it whenever they are able, prioritizing it over the current prayer, due to the hadith of Umar concerning the Asr prayer on the day of the Battle of the Trench. However, if a prayer is missed due to menstruation and being occupied with ritual bathing (ghusl) from it, then it is waived for her.
