Abdur Rahman bin Qasim narrated from his father that a woman came to Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and asked, "After attaining purity, should I make up the prayers that I missed during my menstruation days?" Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) replied, "Are you a Haruriyyah? We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and if any of us experienced menstruation and then attained purity, he (the Messenger of Allah) did not command us to make up the missed prayers." (That is, if there had been such a command, we would certainly have made up those prayers. The meaning of Haruriyyah has already been mentioned.)

Kathir bin Ismail said: I asked Fatimah bint Ali: Do you make up the prayers missed during menstruation? She replied: No.

A woman asked Lady Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her: Does a menstruating woman have to make up the missed prayers? She replied: Are you a Haruriyyah? We, the wives of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to menstruate—did he ever order us to make them up? Imam Darimi, may Allah have mercy on him, said: This means the pure wives did not make up the missed prayers.
