Prayer holds a great status in Islam; it is the first deed of a Muslim that will be examined. Allah has warned those who are negligent in it. Delaying the (ritual bath) after menstruation, once purity is confirmed, is a grave sin, due to the consequent abandonment of prayer, which is not valid without purification. A Muslim woman must hasten to perform ghusl and make up all the prayers she missed after her menstruation ends, and she should increase in seeking forgiveness and sincere repentance.
