AoA
Fatwa: a ruling on a point of Islamic law given by a recognized authority.
Q: A woman in her ninth month of pregnancy was suffering from an inability to control her urine, as a result, she stopped performing salat in the last month of her pregnancy. Would she be considered as negligent of her Salat? What should she do?
A: She should not have stopped performing Salat; rather, she should have continued observing Salat, and performed Wudu for every salat. Her case is similar to the Mustahadah who is required to pad herself well and to perform Salat on time. She may also combine prayers (i.e., to pray Zuhr and
Asr together, and Maghrib and Isha together). Allah says:
"So fear Allah as best as you can." (V. 64:16)
As for the prayers which she has missed, she must make them up, and repent to Allah regretting her sin with the determination of never stopping Salat again under the same circumstances. Allah says:
"And repent to Allah all together, O believers, that you may prosper." (V.24:31)
