Most of these rules were created by men, as you may be aware most clerics in all the religions are men. Even the Catholic faith has some obscure restriction on certain rituals when a woman has her menses. If you read carefully the old testament you will find clear reference to this. They term is as"when a woman is unclean". I'm not sure of the exact text but the meaning is clear.
I personally don't like it. It makes a woman a mere tool or object that can be shut out or up when needed.
I do not think that God would not listen to a woman merely because she has her menses.
Where fasting is concerned, I think it would be wiser to postpone fasting as menses demands a lot out of a woman. I do not think fasting would be advisable. The rule came about probably because in the old days people did not understand menses and to force women not to fast on the concern of health, some wise guy came up with this rule which men would readily accept. Kudos to that cleric as he had wisely tugged at the natural habit of ancient men who degraded women and used this fact to deem it unclean and unacceptable to God, in effect helping the woman to have some relief.
I'm not saying it is good, but to say it as such in our enlightened times, is to deny that we have progressed beyond the dark ages.

I have a tendency to imagine such issues as... if he would only flow to left only a hair i'd blow...oh God it truly is nice...if I do this he's gonna... if i'm questioning about the position are my keys, then i prefer to stumble on a clean playmate. I easily could say I easily have not in any respect fantasized about yet another guy at the same time as i'm with a guy. I do in spite of the indisputable fact that at the same time as i'm taking section in by skill of myself... i'm a unmarried woman by skill of how. could accept as true with the function taking section in comments from the different females... if you're no longer completely there, do not be there in any respect.

No, there is no scientific reason for it. It's RELIGION, it has nothing to do with science.
Most cultures at one time or another considered a menstruating woman "unclean" -- the bible has similar restrictions in the old testament. Those of us who have moved out of the 3rd century realize that such fears are silly superstitions and unfair to women, and we've abolished them.

Yes! If you fast while you are menstruating, you are depriving yourself of what your body really needs-which is energy. By doing this, the body becomes weaker, and sometimes the reactions can be nausea, loss of energy and sleepiness.

Bleeding makes her weak and fasting on top of that would make her weaker???? I have no idea. But menstruating women are considered unclean, so maybe that excludes them from the religious rite??????

There is nothing scientific about Ramadam, therefore many excuses abound.

it probably has to do with your body staying healthy. your body loses vitamins and such during menstration, and food replenishes them,
