Ruling on Delaying Ghusl after Menstruation
A woman has a regular menstrual cycle of six days, and the bleeding continued until sunset on the sixth day. She performed ghusl on the seventh day. Is she required to make up the Maghrib, Isha, and Fajr prayers?
Answer
I say, and with Allah's success: A woman must perform ghusl if she did not see blood at the time of prayer, so that she does not miss the prayer. It is forbidden for her to delay the prayer, and she must perform ghusl after her purification, and she must make up the prayers that she missed. And Allah knows best.
