On the day a woman must act as if she has completed her period, leaving acts of worship, if it becomes clear that she was actually experiencing istihada that exceeds ten days, must she make up the acts of worship she left?
Answer
In the name of Allah, she must make up the obligatory acts of worship that she missed. Also, know that the practice of istihada involves combining the duties of a menstruating woman and those of a woman experiencing istihada. If she is married, her husband must refrain from intercourse, and she must continue to perform the duties of a woman experiencing istihada along with the obligatory prayers. Allah is the Guide and Knower.
