✔ If she becomes pure in the late part of the day, during 'Asr time, then she should perform both Dhuhr and 'Asr, because the beginning time of 'Asr also marks the end time of Dhuhr.
✔ Similarly, if she becomes pure during the night, in the time of 'Isha, then she should offer both Maghrib and 'Isha, as the beginning of 'Isha also marks the end of Maghrib time.
This is based on the principle of “shared prayer times” (شِرْکَةُ الْوَقْتَيْن), which refers to the overlapping time periods for two prayers.
Although the Hadith indicates that a woman should pray the Salah of the time in which she becomes pure, as a precautionary measure, she is advised to offer both prayers that fall within that shared time frame—ensuring that neither obligation is missed.
As stated:
"The basis of this ruling is the sharing of the two times. That is, the early time of 'Asr is also the end time of Dhuhr, and the early time of 'Isha is also the end time of Maghrib. Therefore, if a woman becomes pure during these times, she should offer both prayers, for due to the overlapping time, it can be said that she has attained both.”
