Q. There seems to be a lot of differing opinions about menses. Some say we can do hajj with it, some say no, some say yes to musjid, some say no, some say yes to conjugal rights, some say no…

Answer: A general response as to what is prohibited during ones menstrual cycles:

• Fasting (with a makeup later on), no prayers during menses (haid)

• Refrain from musjid

• Cannot go around the kaba, if it was done, a damm (penalty would be levied against such a woman)

• No intercourse

• Cannot recite the quran nor touch the arabic quran without a detached casing

Allah Certainly Knows Best.
