j- To divorce, because divorcing a woman during her menstrual or postnatal period prolongs her idda (A period during which a widow or a divorcee may not remarry).

Since the menstrual or postnatal duration are not included in idda, and this is harmful to her.

When a woman becomes pure and before she has purified herself, fasting, purification, passing through the mosque and being divorced are no longer forbidden to her.

That is because the cause of prohibition (Which is: The coexistence of two weaknesses (fasting and bleeding), prolonging idda duration, and contaminating the mosque, in the case of fasting, divorce, and passing through the mosque respectively) does not exist any longer and she is the same as one who is in a state of janaba.

Praying, tawaf, reading Quran, and carrying the Mushaf remain all forbidden to her until she performs ghusl and that is because the restriction is due to the existence of hadath which has not been lifted.

Similarly, foreplay is prohibited until she performs ghusl.

When a woman becomes pure (from menstruation or postnatal bleeding) she should make up the fast days she missed, but not the missed prayers.

(pa: 96)

That is because (obligatory) prayers are numerous and difficult to make up.

Aisha (G. p. H) narrated: "When we are in menstruation we have been ordered to make up the missed day of fasting but not the missed prayers.

[Muslim, Vol. 1, The Book of Menses, Chapter 15/69].

Some (scholars) say it is prohibited to make up the missed prayers, while others say it is makrooh, but it is more likely that there is no prohibition.
