Takeaways

• 😀 Women who experience menstruation or postpartum bleeding (nifas) during Ramadan may feel like their worship is less than optimal, as they cannot fast or perform prayer, but this is a natural and unavoidable condition.
• 😀 Even when menstruating, women can still engage in valuable religious practices such as seeking knowledge, attending Islamic lectures, reading books on Islam, and watching educational videos.
• 😀 Pursuing knowledge is obligatory for all Muslims, and can be done regardless of menstrual status. This includes participating in religious studies and engaging with Islamic content like books and online videos.
• 😀 Regular remembrance of Allah (dhikr) can bring peace and tranquility, even during menstruation, helping women feel spiritually connected during Ramadan despite the challenges.
• 😀 Acts of social charity, such as giving to orphans, visiting orphanages, providing food for the needy, or helping others break their fast, are highly recommended and rewardable in Ramadan, even when a woman is menstruating.
• 😀 There are differing opinions among scholars on whether female Hafizahs (Quran memorizers) can recite the Quran during menstruation. Some say it's permissible as long as the intention is to recite for remembrance and not for direct recitation of the Quran.
• 😀 Another view allows for touching the Quran, but only if it contains a translation, and one must avoid touching the Arabic text. This opinion is based on specific interpretations of the rules.
• 😀 The safest opinion for female Hafizahs is to review the Quran from memory in their hearts during menstruation, without touching the Quran or its translation. This preserves the sanctity of the Quran while still practicing.
• 😀 If a woman maintains her good habits of fasting (such as the sunnah fasts on Mondays and Thursdays, or fasting on alternate days) and performing regular prayers like tahajjud and rawatib, these actions continue to accrue reward during menstruation, even though she can't physically perform them.
• 😀 The practice of consistency (istikamah) in worship, such as regularly performing acts of worship, ensures that a woman’s reward is preserved even during menstruation, and her deeds are recorded by Allah.
• 😀 The message concludes with an encouragement for women experiencing menstruation during Ramadan to stay positive and hopeful, as Allah will reward their efforts and they can still experience spiritual growth, anticipating the victory and joy of Eid al-Fitr.
