What can a woman who is menstruating do on Laylat al-Qadr?

I was wondering what a woman can do on laylat al-qadr if she is
menstruating at that time. can she earn extra rewards for engaging
herself in worship? if so, what is permissible for her to do so that
night?.
Praise be to Allaah.
A woman who is menstruating may do all acts of worship apart from
praying, fasting, circumambulating the Ka'bah and doing i'tikaaf in
the mosque.
It was narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) used to stay upat night during the last ten nights of
Ramadaan. Al-Bukhaari (2401) and Muslim (1174) narrated that 'Aa'ishah
(may Allaah be pleased with her) said: "When the last ten nights of
Ramadaan came, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
would refrain from marital relations, stay up at night and wakehis
family up."
Staying up at night is not only for prayer, rather it includes all
kinds of acts of worship. This is how the scholars interpreted it.
Al-Haafiz said: "Staying upat night" means staying up to do acts of worship.
Al-Nawawi said: spendingthe night staying up to pray etc.
He said in 'Awn al-Ma'bood: i.e., in prayer, dhikr and reciting the Qur'aan.
Praying qiyaam is the best act of worship that a person can do on
Laylat al-Qadr. Hence the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) said: "Whoeverspends the night of Laylatal-Qadr in prayer
out of faith and in hope of reward, his previous sins will be
forgiven." (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1901; Muslim, 760).
Because the woman who is menstruating is not allowed to pray, she can
spend the night in doing other acts of worship apart from prayer, such
as:
1- Reading or reciting Qur'aan. See question no. 2564 .
2- Dhikr – such as saying Subhaan-Allaah, Lailaaha illa-Allaah,
al-Hamdu Lillaah, etc. She can repeat the words "Subhaan-Allaah
wa'l-hamdu Lillaah, wa laa ilaaha ill-Allaah, wa Allaahu akbar (Glory
be toAllaah, praise be to Allaah,there is no god but Allaah and Allaah
is Most Great)" and "Subhaan Allaah wa bi hamdihi, subhaan Allaah
il-'Azeem (Glory and praise be to Allaah, glory be to Allaah the
Almighty)" etc.
3- Istighfaar (praying for forgiveness), by repeating the phrase
"Astaghfir-Allaah (I ask Allaah for forgiveness)."
4- Du'aa' (supplication) – she can pray to Allaah and ask Him for
what is good in this world and in the Hereafter, for du'aa' is one of
the best acts of worship. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) said, "Du'aa' is 'ibaadah (worship)." (Narrated by
al-Tirmidhi, 2895; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani inSaheeh
al-Tirmidhi, 2370).
The woman who is menstruating can do these acts of worship and others
on Laylat al-Qadr.
We ask Allaah to help us to do that which He loves and which pleases
Him. May Allaah accept our righteous deeds.

1a] Should Taraweeh prayer be offered individually or in congregation? Is completing the Qur’aan in Ramadaan bid’ah?

1a]
became caliph, he united them behind one imam, Ubayy ibn Ka'b, who
united the people in one congregation on the orders of 'Umar ibn
al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with him). 'Umar (may Allaah be
pleased with him) was one of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs, of whom the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "I urge you
to adhere to my Sunnah and the way of the Rightly-Guided Caliphsafter
me; cling tightly to it." So what he did was Sunnah but he said, "What
a good innovation this is," because it was an innovation in the
linguistic sense, as they were doing something that they had not done
during the life of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him), i.e., gathering to do this, but itis Sunnah in
the shar'i sense."
Majmoo' al-Fataawa, 22/234, 235
For more information, please see question no. 21740 and 45781
Secondly:
Completing the Qur'aan inRamadaan, whether during prayer or outside
prayer, is something that is praiseworthy. Jibreel (peace be upon him)
used to review the Qur'aan with the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) every Ramadaan, and in the Prophet's last year he
reviewed it with him twice.

And Allaah knows best.

1] Should Taraweeh prayer be offered individually or in congregation? Is completing the Qur’aan in Ramadaan bid’ah?

1]
I have heard from some people that it is recommended to pray taraweeh
indivually as the prophet preyed it individually except 3 times, is
this true? I also heard that it is a bid'ah to recite the whole Quran
during taraweeh in ramadan as the prophet never did this, is this
true.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
It is prescribed to offer the night prayers in Ramadaan in
congregation or individually, but it is better to do it in
congregation than to do itindividually. The Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) led his companions in offering these
prayers in congregation on several nights.
It is proven in al-Saheehayn that the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) led his companions in prayer (Taraweeh) for
several nights, then on the third or fourth night he did not come out
to them. When morning came he said: "Nothing prevented me from coming
out to you except the fact that I feared that it would be made
obligatory for you."
Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1129. According to the version narrated by
Muslim (761): "But I feared that night prayers would be made
obligatory for you and you would not be able to do them."
Offering Taraweeh prayer in congregation is something that is
established by the Sunnahof the Prophet (peace andblessings of Allaah
be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
stated the reason why he did not persist in offering this prayer in
congregation, which is that he feared that it might be made
obligatory. This reason cased to be applicable after the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) died, because when he
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) died, the wahy
(revelation) ceased and there was no longer any worry that it might be
made obligatory. Once thereason, which was the fear of it being made
obligatory, disappeared with the cessation of the wahy, then the fact
that itis Sunnah to offer this prayer in congregation resumed.
See al-Sharh al-Mumti' by Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen, 4/78.
Imam Ibn 'Abd al-Barr (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
This indicates that prayingqiyaam in Ramadaan is one of the Sunnahs of
the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and is
recommended and encouraged. It was not introduced by 'Umar ibn
al-Khattaab, rather he revived something that the Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) lovedand approved of.
Nothing stopped him from doing itregularly except the fear that it
might be made obligatory upon his ummah. He (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) was kind and compassionate towards his ummah.
'Umar knew from the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) that the obligatory duties would not be increased or
decreased after his death (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him),
so he revived this practice and enjoined it upon the people. That
happened in 14 AH, and 'Umar has the honour of being the one who
revived this Sunnah.
Al-Tamheed, 8/108, 109
After the death of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him), the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them) prayed Taraweeh
in small groups and individually, until 'Umar (may Allaah be pleased
with him) united them behind a single imam.
It was narrated that 'Abd al-Rahmaan ibn 'Abd al-Qaari' said: I went
out with 'Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with him) one
night in Ramadaan to the mosque, and the people were scattered, with
one man praying by himself and another with a group of men following
his prayer. 'Umar said: "I think that if I gather thembehind one
reader, it will be better." Then he decided to unite them behind Ubayy
ibn Ka'b. Then I went out with him on another night, and the people
were praying behind their reader. 'Umarsaid: "What a good innovation
this is. But the prayer that they forget about and sleep is better
than the one they are offering." Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1906.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said, when refuting the view of thosewho
quoted 'Umar's words "What a good innovation this is" as meaning that
innovation (bid'ah) is permissible:
With regard to qiyaam in Ramadaan, the Messengerof Allaah (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) introduced thisto his ummah, and he
led them in prayer for a number of nights, becauseat his time they
used to pray in congregation and individually. But he did not persist
in leading them in one congregation, lest that be made obligatory for
them.When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
died, sharee'ahwas established (and would not change after that). When
'Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) became caliph, he united them
behind one imam,:->

Staying up on Laylat al-Qadr and the ruling on celebrating it

How should we spend thenight of Laylat al-Qadr? Is it by praying,
reading Qur'aan and the Seerah (Prophet's biography), listening to
sermons and lessons and celebrating that in the mosque?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
used to strive hard in worship during the last ten nights of Ramadaan
as he did not do at other times, praying and reading Qur'aan.
Al-Bukhaari and Muslim narrated from 'Aa'ishah (may Allaah be pleased
with her) that when the last ten days of Ramadaan began, the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) would stay up at night,
wake his family and tie his lower garmenttight. According to Ahmadand
Muslim: he would strive hard in worship during the last ten nights of
Ramadaan as he did not do at other times.
Secondly:
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) urged us to
spend the night of Laylat al-Qadr in prayer out of faith and in the
hope of reward. It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be
pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) said: "Whoever spends the night of Laylat al-Qadr in prayer
out of faith and in the hope of reward, will be forgiven his previous
sins."
This was narrated by the group apart from Ibn Maajah. This hadeeth
indicates that it is prescribed to stay up and spend this night in
prayer.
Thirdly:
One of the best du'aa's that can be recited on Laylat al-Qadr is that
which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) taught
'Aa'ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her). It was narrated by
al-Tirmidhi, who classed it as saheeh, that 'Aa'ishah said: I said: "O
Messenger of Allaah, If I know which night is Laylat al-Qadr, what
should I say?" He said: "Say: Allaahumma innaka 'afuwwun tuhibb
al-'afwa fa'fu 'anni (O Allaah, You are All-Forgiving and You love
forgiveness so forgive me)."
Fourthly:
With regard to singling out one night of Ramadaan and regarding that
as Laylat al-Qadr, thisrequires evidence. But theodd-numbered nights
during the last ten nights are more likely than others, and the night
of the twenty-seventh is more likely to be Laylat al-Qadr, because of
the ahaadeeth which indicate that.
Fifthly:
With regard to bid'ah (innovation), it is not permissible either in
Ramadaan or at other times. It was proven that the Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Whoever innovates
anything in this matter of ours [Islam] that is not part of it will
have it rejected." And he said: "Whoever does any actionthat is not
part of this matter of ours will have itrejected."
With regard to the celebrations that are held on some nights of
Ramadaan, we know of no basis for that. The best guidance is the
guidance of Muhammad and the worst of matters are those which are
innovated.
And Allaah is the Source ofstrength. May Allaah send blessings and
peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions.
