Menstruation affects certain acts of worship, but it does not end a woman's ability to remember Allah or make personal supplication.

During the menstrual period, prayer is not performed, and the missed prayers are not made up. Fasting is also suspended, but missed Ramadan fasts are made up later. After the period ends, ghusl is required before resuming prayer.

The lesson explains that remembrance and dua remain available. In pilgrimage, the other rites continue while circumambulation of the Ka'bah waits until purification. Marital closeness continues, while intercourse is prohibited during menstruation.

Some questions have recognised differences between schools: reciting or directly touching the Qur'an, remaining in a mosque, and the minimum and maximum length of a period. The page describes different limits and approaches, so a single rule should not be applied to everyone.

Its practical guidance is to follow your school or a trusted teacher. Questions about bleeding that stops before dawn, or medication intended to delay a period, need guidance appropriate to the person. For medication, consult a doctor about health and a knowledgeable teacher about the ruling.
