Ruling 466 — Purification (Ṭahārah)

It is recommended that at the time of prayers, a ḥāʾiḍ should clean herself of the blood, change the piece of cotton [or sanitary pad/another absorbent item that a woman would normally use to absorb the discharge of blood], and perform wuḍūʾ; and if she cannot perform wuḍūʾ, she should perform tayammum. It is also recommended for her to sit in the place of prayers facing qibla and to engage in remembering Allah (dhikr), reciting duʿāʾs, and invoking blessings (ṣalawāt) upon Prophet Muḥammad (Ṣ) and his progeny, and it is better that she recite the four glorifications (al-tasbīḥāt al-arbaʿah).
