Does she have to make Wudhu if she wants to make Dua whilst shes on Haidh?
Question
my question is that if i am on my period, do i still perform wu'du so i can make du'a? Is there anything else i need to do before i can make du'a while on my period?
Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
It is not necessary for a woman observing her menses to make wudu when offering dua. However, if she does so, then she will be rewarded for it, inshAllah.
