Fatimah bint Abi Hubaysh (may Allah be pleased with her) reported that she heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say when asked about praying during menstruation: 'Indeed, the prayer is a prescribed obligation upon the believers on fixed times. It is not permissible to delay it except for one who has a valid excuse, and it is not permissible for her [i.e., the menstruating woman] to delay it until she is purified...'. And when she asked about what to say during the last ten nights of Ramadan, he said: 'O Allah, I ask You for knowledge that is beneficial, sustenance that is good and pure, and deeds that are accepted.'
