*Menstruation In First 10 Days Of DhulHijjah* A woman who is menstruating may do all acts of worship apart from praying, fasting, circumnavigating the Ka’bah and doing i’tikaf in the mosque. Since the woman who is menstruating is not allowed to pray, she can spend the night in doing other acts of worship apart from prayer, such as: 1- Reading or reciting Quran. (from memory without touching Qur'an) 2- Dhikr – such as saying Subhan-Allah, La ilaaha illa-Allah, al-Hamdu Lillaah, etc. She canrepeat the words “Subhan-Allah wa’l-hamdu Lillaah, wa laa ilaaha ill-Allah, wa Allahu akbar (Glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah, there is no god but Allah and Allah is Most Great)” and “SubhanAllah wa bi hamdihi, subhanAllah il-‘Adheem (Glory and praise be to Allah, glory be to Allah the Almighty)” etc. 3- Istighfaar (praying for forgiveness), by repeating the phrase “Astaghfir-Allah (I ask Allah for forgiveness).” 4- Dua (supplication) – she can pray to Allah and ask Him for what is good in this world and in the Hereafter, for du’aa’ is one of the best acts of worship. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “Du’aa’ is ‘ibaadah (worship).” (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2895; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi, 2370). 5.
