Salam, This question is on behalf of my wife. She has been taught since a young age not to do do salah and read the quran whilst in menstruation. Various Hadith have discussed this issue but so far we have not found any certain answer as the Hadith are varying in opinion. Most importantly its not mentioned anywhere in the Quran. All our do's and dont's are mentioned in the Quran but this is not mentioned so how can it be not allowed to worship in this state. Allah does not say in Quran that woman should not offer salah and or fast during Ramadan. So basically does anyone have any further info on this issue and whats the Hanafi opinion on it.
