Period Mode: stay close to your worship during your period

Period Mode is the part of Lunora that follows your cycle alongside your prayer, Quran and dhikr: it tracks your period and estimates the next one, turns off the adhan sound, rests Protect My Prayer and counts the Ramadan fasts you will make up. It also shows what the Hanafi, Shafi’i, Maliki and Hanbali schools say about reading the Quran during menstruation, with their sources, and puts your own school first if you choose one. Lunora is an Islamic app for Muslim women, free to download on iPhone and Android.

Lunora's Period Mode: the My Cycle screen showing day 3 of 7 inside a floral ring
✨ What it does

Your cycle and your worship, in one place

No guilt and no guesswork: the app keeps track, explains what changes and what doesn’t, and leaves rulings to scholars.

🌸

Cycle tracking

Mark your days on a cycle ring, see an estimate of your next period based on your own average, and get a gentle “Has your period ended?” on the estimated last day.

📚

The four madhhabs

The Period guide sets out the Hanafi, Shafi’i, Maliki and Hanbali views on reading and touching the Quran, naming its sources.

🗓️

Qada fast counter

Period Mode asks about days that fell in Ramadan. The Qada screen counts recorded, kept and remaining fasts and can remind you the evening before the day you pick.

🤲

Worship that continues

Dua and dhikr suggestions that fit your mood, hadith and fiqh cards, verses for comfort, and one of the 99 Names each day.

💧

Ghusl guide

Ghusl step by step, and a single reminder when you mark your period as over, for whenever you’re ready.

🔕

Quieter on these days

The adhan sound is off, Protect My Prayer rests, your prayer streak is kept, and you can pause your Quran reading plan.

👶

Every stage of life

Set your situation to pregnant, postpartum, breastfeeding or irregular, and the estimate adapts or steps aside. Postpartum mode counts the days until you mark that your bleeding has stopped.

📝

Symptoms, mood and notes

Log how you feel each day. With Lunora+ you also get cycle insights and a document of your records to share with your doctor.

🔒

Private by design

Your period, mood and symptom records stay on your device in its secure storage and are never uploaded. No account is needed.

🧭 How it works

From the first day to ghusl

  1. 1

    Mark the start

    When your period begins, mark it in Period Mode. The adhan sound goes quiet and Protect My Prayer rests from that moment.

  2. 2

    Tell Lunora what applies to you

    Optionally choose your situation and your madhhab. You can leave either unstated and change them any time.

  3. 3

    Follow your days

    Log symptoms, mood and notes, and get duas and dhikr that fit how you feel. The guide explains what is lifted during menstruation and what is not.

  4. 4

    Mark the end

    On the estimated last day Lunora asks whether your period has ended. Once you mark it, you can get one ghusl reminder for when you’re ready.

  5. 5

    Keep track of qada

    If your period fell in Ramadan, Period Mode asks about those days and adds them to your qada fasts.

📚 Four madhhabs

What Lunora shows for each madhhab

Lunora does not issue rulings. It shows what each school is reported to hold, names where that comes from, and suggests asking a scholar about your own situation.

Reading the Quran during menstruation

The Period guide lists the view of each of the four schools on touching the mushaf, reciting, reading verses with the intention of dua or dhikr, and listening.

  • Hanafi: as reported by Diyanet (Türkiye)
  • Shafi’i: al-Nawawi and Egypt’s Dar al-Ifta
  • Maliki: Egypt’s Dar al-Ifta and Diyanet
  • Hanbali: Diyanet, and the view of Ibn Baz

Your madhhab, only if you say so

If you choose your madhhab in Period Mode settings, its view is shown first. You can also choose “I would rather not say”.

Lunora never guesses your madhhab from your country. Without one, the app shows no school-specific numbers.

When bleeding lasts longer

If you have chosen a madhhab and your bleeding goes on for a while, a card shows the maximum length of menstruation that school is commonly reported to recognize.

The card says plainly: “This is not a ruling. For your situation, please consult a knowledgeable scholar.”

Prayer, fasting and qada

The “What is lifted, and what is not” section explains that the prayers of menstruation days are not made up, while missed fasts are.

The qada counter only counts days: “When and how to make them up depends on your school of thought (madhhab); ask a scholar about that.”
