A woman suggested you should be able to fast and pray salah whilst on your period this Ramadan. She received a flurry of messages from Muslim women and men clarifying a few reasons why women are exempt and that women can still worship Allah without praying.

This is not about “rights.” This about the bodies of women already being in a state of CONSTANT WORSHIP while menstruating making extra performative worship unnecessary and even a form of oppression.

I am all about love and peace but I was really pissed off because she could’ve asked/googled and found the answer but she still talked like this whole thing isn’t good for women but against them.
