Also, among the issues which are restricted to women is that they have to leave Sawm (fasting) and Salah (prayer) during menses and postpartum period. In these periods, offering Salah is not obligatory for woman nor is she required to make up for the missed Salahs. As for Sawm, she has to abandon it during the period of menstruation and postpartum but she is required to make up for the missed days.
