A person in a state of ritual impurity (junub), a menstruating woman (ha'id), or a woman in post-natal bleeding () are not prohibited from engaging in daily and household activities. Rather, they are prohibited from acts of worship for which ritual purity is a condition for validity, such as prayer, fasting, and touching the Qur'an.
