Summary
A menstruating woman is permitted to cook, because cooking is not among the acts prohibited during menstruation. The Sharia restricts only certain acts, such as prayer, tawaf, touching the mushaf, fasting and sexual intercourse with the husband. Apart from these, she may carry on other activities as usual, based on a hadith permitting everything except intercourse and on statements of Shafi'i scholars.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, perempuan yang sedang haid dibolehkan untuk memasak.
