Question
Should a woman have Ghusl for Janaabah in case she has menses on the same day?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.
A menstruating woman who is in the state of Janaabah during the days of menstruation is not required to have Ghusl for Janaabah until her menses terminates.
When her menses terminates, she can have one Ghusl for both Janaabah and menses. However, if she has Ghusl for Janaabah during the days of menstruation, her Ghusl is valid and the state of Janaabah is removed as stated by Imaam Ahmad 
. This is especially confirmed if she needs to recite the Quran, which is not forbidden for menstruating women, according to the sound opinion of scholars. By having Ghusl for Janaabah, a woman is allowed to recite the Quran only.
