A menstruating woman is not deprived of the blessings of Laylat al-Qadr. She can observe Laylat al-Qadr with all acts of worship except for prayer, fasting, circumambulation (), and I'tikaf (spiritual retreat in a mosque). Indeed, observing the night is not limited to prayer but includes all acts of obedience. Therefore, a menstruating woman can recite the Quran, engage in remembrance (Dhikr), seek forgiveness (Istighfar), and supplicate (Du'a), as supplication is among the best acts of worship.
