QnA on Salaah (9/10)
Question
Is there any exemption from salaah for any particular reason?
Answer
A minor, that is a child who has not reached puberty, but a child must be taught and be disciplined to begin reading salaah by seven years old. One who is mad or insane, a woman in her menses, after the completion of her menses she is obligated to make ghusl but does not have to perform the qadha of the missed salaah. Similarly a woman in nifaas, post natal, for those 20 to 40 days, salaah is not compulsory. Once the compulsoryghusl is performed at the completion of this period, qadha is not necessary but salaah as usual must be performed. The salaah missed during the life of a non-Muslim does not have to be repeated (qadha is not compulsory).
