Question
Last week, I had my period after the Zuhr prayer had come in but before I had gotten around to praying it. Do I have to make up that prayer? Someone told me that I will have to make up the `Asr prayer as well. Is this true? If it is, does the same thing apply to Maghrib and `Ishâ’?
Answer
If the time of the Zuhr has already come in and a woman gets her period before she has had a chance to pray it, then she must make up her Zuhr prayer after her period is over.
Some scholars also say that she has to make up her `Asr prayer as well, since Zuhr and `Asr can be offered together for people who have an excuse, such as travelers.
Likewise if a woman’s menstrual period ends during the time of `Asr, she should pray her Zuhr prayer along with her `Asr prayer, since the two prayers can be offered together during the time of `Asr for people who have an excuse.
The same can be said for the Maghrib and `Ishâ’ prayers. Hence, if the time of Maghrib has already come in and the woman gets her period before she has had a chance to pray it, then she must make up both her Maghrib and `Ishâ’ prayers after her period is over. Likewise, if a woman’s menstrual period ends before the time of Fajr, she should pray her Maghrib prayer along with her `Ishâ’ prayer, since these two prayers can be offered together.
And Allah knows best.

Ibn Bâz explains the same ruling in the following manner:
According to the majority of scholars, if the woman’s menstruation ends before sunset, she should pray Zuhr and `Asr. If her menstruation ends before Fajr, she should pray Maghrib and `Ishâ’.
The reason for this is that the time for `Asr is the time for Zuhr for people who have an excuse, like people who are traveling. Likewise, the time of `Ishâ’ is also a time to perform Maghrib for people who have an excuse. The woman’s menstruation is an excuse for her not to pray, so if that excuse ends during the time of `Ishâ’, she must still pray Maghrib. Likewise, if that excuse ends during the time of `Asr, she must still pray Zuhr.
