Do women make up prayers missed during their period?

No. By scholarly consensus, women do not pray during menstruation and do not make up those prayers afterwards. Missed obligatory fasts, however, are made up.

What is Haid Mode in Hayya?

Haid Mode silently pauses streak tracking during menstruation — your Salah Nur streak is protected, nothing is marked as missed, and there are no awkward labels or notifications. One toggle, fully private, stored only on your device.

Can I still use the app during my period?

Absolutely — dhikr, duas, listening to Quran and learning continue as normal. Many scholars permit reciting from memory or a screen as well; Hayya keeps every non-salah feature fully available.

A Prayer App Designed for Muslim Women: Why Haid Mode Matters

Updated July 2026 · 5 min read

Every month, millions of Muslim women open their prayer tracker and watch it quietly accuse them: streak broken, prayers "missed", progress reset. But a woman on her period isn't missing prayers — she's excused from them by Allah's own command. Hayya is the prayer app that finally understands the difference.

The fiqh is clear — most apps aren't

By scholarly consensus, a menstruating woman does not pray, and she does not make up those prayers afterwards (missed fasts are made up; prayers are not). This is mercy built directly into the religion. Yet most habit-style prayer apps treat those days like failure: red marks, broken streaks, guilt notifications. The app punishes what Allah excused.

What Haid Mode does

One quiet toggle. Turn on Haid Mode and your Salah Nur streak pauses — it doesn't break, doesn't reset, and resumes exactly where it left off.
No penalty, no judgment. Nothing is marked "missed". No red badges. No guilt-scented notifications.
No awkward labels. The toggle is discreet and neutral — designed so the app never makes you explain yourself.
Completely private. Like everything in Hayya, this stays on your device. No analytics, no cloud, no data brokers — a particularly serious concern given that period-tracking and prayer apps alike have sold user data.

What stays open during your period

Being excused from salah doesn't disconnect you from worship. In Hayya, everything else keeps going:

Dhikr & duas: the tasbih counter and the full dua library remain — many women make these days their dhikr days.
Adhkar streak: morning and evening adhkar have their own separate streak you can keep building.
Quran: listen to any of the five reciters; reciting from memory or a screen is permitted per many scholars.
Learning: the Learn to Pray guide and lessons stay open.

"No major prayer app handles this. Hayya does."

Haid Mode exists because Hayya was designed with women in mind from the first sketch, not patched later. If you've quit a prayer app because it made your month harder instead of easier — this one was built for you.

A streak that understands your fiqh

Haid Mode is free, private and judgment-free. No ads, no tracking, ever.
