❖ Question:​


After becoming pure from menstruation, is a woman required to change her clothing, even if no blood or impurity has come into contact with it?


❖ Answer:​


No, it is not obligatory for her to change her clothes after becoming pure from menstruation—as long as her garments are free from blood or impurity.


Reason: Menstruation does not render the body itself impure,
✔ And the menstrual blood only renders impure that which it directly contacts.


📖 Evidence from Sunnah:​


The Prophet ﷺ instructed women that:


If menstrual blood gets on their clothes, they should wash it off,
Then they may perform prayer in the same clothing.


📚 (Fatwa by: Shaykh Muḥammad ibn Ṣāliḥ al-‘Uthaymīn رحمه الله)


❖ Summary:​


✔ It is permissible to perform Ṣalāh in the same clothes worn during menstruation if there are no traces of impurity.
Changing garments is not a requirement for prayer after purification from menstruation.
