It was asked from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) about a menstruating woman who hears a verse of prostration. He replied: She will not perform the prostration because prostration is also prayer.

Imam Ibrahim and Abu al-Duha, may Allah have mercy on them both, said that she will not perform prostration.

Imam Ibrahim and Saeed bin Jubair, may Allah have mercy on them both, said: Prostration is not obligatory for this; prayer is much greater than this. That is, when prayer is omitted, prostration is lesser than that.

Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) said: He was prevented from something better than this, that is, the obligatory prayer, meaning then prostration.

Imam Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) said: She will not perform prostration (sajdah).

It is narrated from Imam Zuhri, may Allah have mercy on him, regarding a woman who has become pure and hears a verse of prostration, that until she performs ghusl, she will not perform the prostration.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the women:“Give charity, for you are the majority among the inhabitants of Hell.”A woman, who was not well-known, asked: Why is that? He replied:“Because you curse excessively and are ungrateful to your husbands.”The narrator said: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I have not seen anyone more overpowering over men of status, despite their deficiency in religion and intellect, than women. A man asked: What is the deficiency in intellect? He said: The testimony of two women is equal to that of one man. He was asked about the deficiency in religion, so he said: How many nights and days do they spend without praying to Allah?
