Understanding Menstrual Prayer Regulations

In verse 2:222 of the Quran, it is indicated that sexual relations during a woman's menstrual cycle are not allowed. Although this verse does not specifically address the prohibition of prayers, the hadith provides clarity on this matter. It states that women are not required to perform prayers while on their period and that they are not obligated to compensate for any prayers missed during this time.
