A woman could not perform the obligatory bath after menstruation because of accident injuries and only made ablution before praying. Is her prayer valid, does a prayer in honour of the time exist, and must it be repeated?

Summary

A woman who has become pure from menstruation must take the obligatory bath, but if wounds or bandages prevent contact with water, she washes the healthy parts and wipes water over the bandage. If she cannot do so, she performs tayammum. The Shafi'i school recognises the prayer in honour of the time, performed without ablution or tayammum when no purifying means is available, and it is obligatory. It must be repeated once water or earth is available or the wound heals, so the prayers performed during the illness should be made up.
