Question:
Please could you clarify if it is possible for a woman to do sajda
(randomly, outside of prayer) when she is menstruating? I know that
Sajda of Tilwat is not compulsory on a menstruating woman, but I ask
referring to times when perhaps a woman feels the need to be close to
Allah swt.
Answer:
In the name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful,
Things that are a requirement for the prostration of recital (sajdah
al-tilawah) are also necessary for the prostration of thankfulness
(sajdah al-shukr). As such, it is necessary for one to be in a state
of ritual purity in order to offer this prostration.
It is stated in Maraqi al-Falah:
�The method of offering the prostration of thankfulness (sajdah
al-shukr) is that one will say the Takbir (Allahu akbar) whilst facing
the Qiblah. Then one will prostrate and praise Allah, thank him and
recite Tasbih. Thereafter,one will raise his head whilst saying the
Takbir (m: once again), similar to the prostration of recital with all
its (m: sajdah al-tilawah�s) conditions.� (See: Maraqial-Falah with
the Hashiyah of Tahtawi, p. 500, Dar al-Kutub al-Ilmiyya print)
Imam al-Haskafi (Allah have mercy on him) clearly mentions the
impermissibility of offering Sajdah al-Shukr in the state of
menstruation. He states:
�It (m: menstruation) prevents one from performing prayer
(salat)unrestrictedly (mutlaqan), even the prostration of thankfulness
(sajdah al-shukr).�
Allama Ibn Abidin (Allah have mercy on him) comments on the above by
stating in his super-commentary (hashiya):
�(al-Haskafi�s statement: �even the prostration of thankfulness�)
meaning, or prostration of recital, hence menstruation will prevent
the validity of both (m: i.e. Sajdah al-tilawah & sajdah al-shukr) and
will make both of them unlawful.� (Radd al-Muhtar ala al-Durr
al-Mukhtar, 1/290-230)
Therefore, it will not be permitted for a woman to offer a prostration
of thankfulness (sajdah al-shukr) in the state of menstruation, for
purity (from major and minor impurities) is a requirement in order to
offer this prostration.
And Allah knows best

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*

Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
