What is the ruling on a woman's acts of worship if she experiences what is known as an induced menstrual period?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Blood that exits with the characteristics of menstrual blood is considered menstruation, which prohibits prayer, fasting, and touching the Qur’an. There is no difference in this, whether it occurs before or after menopause, or whether it exits naturally or through treatment. We advise against treatment, for in Allah’s decree there is goodness and well-being. The cessation of blood may be a wisdom for a woman to devote herself to worship and to make up for any missed fasts.
