If a woman does not perform prayers thinking that she does not have sufficient time to become ritually pure from an occurrence (ḥadath)[3] and to perform one rakʿah, and afterwards she realises that actually she did have time, she must make up that prayer.
Ruling 466.* 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).
Ruling 467.* According to some jurists, it is disapproved for a ḥāʾiḍ to read the Qur’an, keep the Qur’an with herself, touch in between the writing of the Qur’an or the margins of the Qur’an, and dye her hair with henna or something similar. [1] A legal mithqāl is a measure of weight equal to 3.456 grams. [2] A nukhud is a measure of weight equivalent to 0.192 grams. [3] See the footnote pertaining to Ruling 384 for an explanation of this term.
