Greed is the excess fondness of money and fortune. It is one of the bad manners that draw to various evils and sins. Greed is selfish excessive or uncontrolled desire for possession or pursuit of money, wealth, food, or other possessions, especially when this denies the same goods to others.
Amir al-Muminin (as) said: "Know with certainty that you cannot achieve your desire and cannot exceed your destined life. You are on the track of those before you. Therefore, be humble in seeking and moderate in earning because often seeking leads to deprivation. Every seeker of livelihood does not get it, nor is everyone who is moderate in seeking deprived."
Amir al-Muminin (as) said: "A greedy man will always find himself in the shackles of humility."
Amir al-Muminin (as) said: "Greed is the key to trouble and carries man to hardship. It causes him to commit sin."
Imam Hasan Mujtaba (as) said: "The annihilation of people lies in three things: Arrogance, Greed and Envy. Arrogance causes destruction of the religion and because of it Shaitan (Satan) was cursed, and Greed is the enemy of one's soul, and because of it Adam was expelled from Paradise, and Envy is the guide to wickedness, and because of it Qabil (Cain) killed Habil (Abel) - the two sons of Prophet Adam (as)."
Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (as) said: "In his love for the world, the greedy is like the silkworm: the more it wraps in its cocoon, the less it has of escaping from it, until it dies of grief."
Imam Jafar Sadiq (as) said: "If son of Adam were to possess two valleys of gold and silver, he would long for a third. Son of Adam, your stomach is but an ocean or a valley that cannot be filled in with anything except dust."
Imam Jafar Sadiq (as) said: "The destruction that the fondness of fortune leaves on a man is more effective than the deed of two ravenous wolves that attack a shepherd less herd, one from the front and the other from the back. The Muslim's honor, however, lies in his religiosity."
Islam and Greed: Disadvantages of Greed(Selfishness and Islam)
Greed enslaves man and causes him grief. The greedy cares only for collecting fortunes without stopping at any limit. Whenever he achieves a goal, he works for achieving another and, so, he becomes the slave of avidity until death strikeshim. He, also, exerts laborious efforts for collecting riches, but he is the less beneficiary. He tires for gaining fortunes, but death comes unexpectedly upon him to deprive him of enjoying that fortune. The heirs, then, enjoy his fortune very easily. Furthermore, greed takes to the slips of sinful matters that produce problematic situations in the world to come. It also hinders from doing charity.
Treatment of Greed according to Imam Jafar Sadiq (as), "I guarantee for the moderate that he will not see poverty." - -

Ruling concerning a discharge of blood five days before giving birth
Question:A woman had bleeding during pregnancy five days before giving birth, during the month of Ramadan. Should that blood be considered menstruation or Istihaadhah ]prolonged flow of blood or menorrhagia[, and what are the obligations upon her?
Response:If the matter is as mentioned, with her seeing blood five days before giving birth, and she did not have any signs that labour would occur soon, such as contractions, then in that case, the blood is neither menstruation nor post-partum bleeding. It is simply irregular blood. Therefore, she should not abandon the acts of worship but must continue fasting and praying. If, along with the blood, she has signs that her labour is near, such as contractions, then it is considered post-partum bleeding and therefore she should abandon praying and fasting due to it. Then, when she becomes pure after giving birth, she must make up the days of fasting but not the prayers.
The Standing Committee
The meaning of the word Quroo'
Question:Allaah says in the Quran )what means(:"Divorced women remaining in waiting ]i.e., do not remarry[ for three Quroo’…'"]Quran: 2: 228[ What is the meaning here of the word Quroo'?
Response:Lexically, Quroo' can mean the time of purity and it can also mean the menses itself. However, the correct meaning in the verse is the menses as this is its most often usage by the Lawgiver )Allaah Almighty( and is the opinion of the majority of the Companions.
Shaykh Ibn Jibreen
If the menses continue for more than their normal length
Question:If a woman normally has menses for seven or eight days but once or twice has them for a longer period, what is the ruling concerning that?
Response:If that woman normally has her menses for seven or eight days and then they become longer, becoming nine, ten or eleven days, then she must remain not praying until she becomes pure. This is because the Prophetdid not set any specific limit for menstruation. Allaah Says in the Quran )what means(:"…They ask you about menstruation. Say: 'It is harmful...'"]Quran 2: 222[
As long as that blood is flowing, the woman remains in her state of menses until she becomes pure ]i.e., the blood stops[ and she then makes Ghusl )ritual bathing( and prays. If, in the following month, the blood comes for a shorter period of time, she makes Ghusl when the blood stops, even if it was not as long as the previous period. The important point is that as long as the woman is having menses and bleeding, she remains in that state and she should not pray, regardless of whether that amount of time is the same, longer or shorter than her previous menses. When the blood stops, she should pray.
Shaykh Ibn Al-'Uthaymeen
If a woman had a miscarriage in the third month of her pregnancy
Question:A year ago, I had a miscarriage in my third month of pregnancy. I stopped praying until the blood stopped. It was said to me that I should have prayed. What should I do now since I do not know the exact number of days I did not pray?
Response:What is well-known and accepted among the scholars is that if a woman has a miscarriage in the third month, she does not pray. This is because when the woman has such a miscarriage, the foetus has distinct human characteristics. Therefore, the blood that then flows is considered post-partum bleeding and the woman does not therefore pray. The scholars say that the foetus takes on the shape of a human after eighty-one days, which is less than three months. If you are certain that you had a miscarriage after three months, the blood that came was post-partum bleeding. However, if it was before eighty days, then the blood that came is irregular or abnormal blood and you should not have left the prayer due to it. So, the dear inquirer must see if the miscarriage was before eighty days, in which case she must make up the prayers she missed. If she does not know how many days she missed, she must estimate the matter and make up what she believes she has missed.
Shaykh Ibn Al-'Uthaymeen
The prayer of a menstruating woman
Question:While I was praying, my menses began. What should I do? Do I make up the prayers of the time of my menses?
Response:If the menses come after the beginning of a time for prayer, for example, if you receive your menses half an hour after high noon, then you must make up that prayer after your bleeding has ended since when its time began you were in a state of purity. This is based on Allaah's statement )which means(:"…Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a decree of specified times."]Quran: 4: 103[
Do not make up the prayers you missed while menstruating. This is based on the lengthy Hadeeth in which the Prophetsaid:"Is it not the case that when you menstruate, you do not )are not obliged to( pray or fast?"]Al-Bukhaari[
There is a consensus among the scholars that the prayers missed during menstruation are not to be made up. However, if she becomes pure )i.e., the bleeding stops( and she has enough time to pray one Rak'ah )unit of prayer( or more of a prayer, then she must pray the prayer of that time in which she became pure. This is based on the Hadeeth of the Messenger of Allaah:"Whoever catches one Rak'ah of the 'Asr )afternoon( Prayer before sunset has caught the 'Asr Prayer."]Al-Bukhaari & Muslim[
If she becomes pure during the time of 'Asr or before sunrise and there is enough time before sunset or sunrise to pray one Rak'ah, then she should pray 'Asr in the former case and Fajr )dawn( in the latter case.

Question:A woman had blood beginning to flow )i.e., her menses( while she was in the Mosque of the Prophet. She stayed in the mosque for a short while, until her husband had finished his prayer, so that she could leave with him. Did she commit a sin?
Q & A on menstruation and post-partum bleeding –I
Response:If she was not able to depart from the mosque by herself, then there is no harm in what she did. However, if she was able to leave by herself, then it was obligatory upon her to exit as quickly as possible. This is because the menstruating woman, the woman who has post-partum bleeding and a sexually defiled person are not allowed to sit in the mosques. This is based on Allaah's statement which forbids certain categories of people from approaching the places of prayer, one of which is )what means(:"…Nor while sexually defiled, except when travelling on a road…"]Quran 4: 43[)1(
It is also narrated from the Prophetthat he said:"Ido not permit the menstruating woman or the sexually defiled person to enter the mosque."]Abu Daawood[
Shaykh Ibn Baaz
Footnotes
1. Note that the verse is in reference only to those who are sexually defiled. Obviously, the differences between a menstruating woman and a sexually defiled person are very great. Hence, one cannot make an analogy between the two. Furthermore, there is also a difference of opinion concerning whether this verse implies anyone who becomes sexually defiled or only the travellers who become sexually defiled.
Question:Is it allowed for a menstruating woman to read a book of supplications on the Day of 'Arafah )i.e., the ninth of Thul-Hijjah(, given the fact that the book contains Quranic verses?
Response:There is no harm in a menstruating or post-partum bleeding woman reading the books of supplications that are written for the rites of the pilgrimage. In fact, there is nothing wrong with her even reciting the Quran, according to the correct opinion, as there is no authentic, clear text prohibiting a menstruating or post-partum bleeding woman from reciting the Quran. The narration that we do have is concerned with the sexually defiled person only, which confirms that such a person should not recite the Quran while he/she is sexually defiled, and this was narrated by 'Ali. As for the menstruating or post-partum bleeding woman, there is the Hadeeth that was narrated by Ibn 'Umarwhich states: "Neither the menstruating woman nor the sexually defiled person is to recite anything from the Quran." ]Abu Daawood, At-Tirmithi & Others[
However, this is weak. This is because it is from the narrations of Ismaa'eel Ibn 'Ayyaash on the authority of people from the Hijaaz )westernArabia(, and he is weak when he narrates from them. However, the menstruating or post-partum bleeding woman may recite from her memory without touching the Quran. As for the sexually defiled person, he/she may not even recite the Quran from memory or touch the Mus-haf )a copy of the Quran( until he/she makes Ghusl )ritual bathing(. The difference between the two is that the amount of time one is sexually defiled for is very short, as he may make Ghusl as soon as he has done the act with his spouse. The amount of time is not long, and he is in control of its duration as he may make Ghusl whenever he wishes. Even if he cannot find water, he can make Tayammum )dry ablution using soil( and can then pray or recite the Quran. However, the menstruating or post-partum bleeding woman does not have control over its duration, such control is in the hand of Allaah. Menstruation and post-partum bleeding last for days. Therefore, it is allowed for them to recite the Quran so that they do not forget what they have memorised and so that they will not lose the merits of reciting it. They may also learn the laws of the Sharee'ah )Islamic Law( from the Book of Allaah. Therefore, it follows that it is certainly permissible for her to read the books of supplications that have verses and Hadeeth intermixed within them. This is the correct opinion of the scholarson that point.
Shaykh Ibn Baaz
Question:Some women have miscarriages - sometimes the foetus comes out fully formed while at others it is only partially formed. I would like you to make clear the ruling for prayer in both of those situations.
Response:If a woman has a miscarriage and the foetus has distinctly human features, such as a head, limbs and so forth, then her bleeding is post-natal bleeding. She should, therefore, follow the rulings of one who has post-natal bleeding. She should not pray or fast and her husband cannot have sexual intercourse with her until the bleeding stops, or she completes forty days. If the bleeding stops before the fortieth day, she must make Ghusl, pray, and fast if it is Ramadan, and her husband may have sexual intercourse with her )if she is not fasting and it is not Ramadan(.
There is no minimum length of time for post-natal bleeding. The bleeding could stop after ten days, more or less, and she must then make Ghusl, and all the laws of a ritually pure person will then apply to her. If she sees any blood after the fortieth day, it is considered bleeding from illness. She would then fast and pray with that bleeding and it is permissible for her husband to have sexual intercourse with her. She must make ablution for the time of every prayer, like for the Mustahaadhah,)1(as the Prophettold Faatimah bint Abu Hubaysh: "Make ablution for )the time of( every prayer.")2(
If the blood that flows from her after the forty-day period coincides with the time of her menses, then it takes on the ruling of menses. It is forbidden for her to pray or fast until she becomes pure. It is also forbidden for her husband to have intercourse with her.
However, if the miscarried foetus does not resemble a human being, such as when it is simply a smooth lump of flesh or clot of blood, then she takes the ruling of Istihaadhah and not that of post-partum bleeding. She should pray, fast during Ramadan and may have intercourse with her husband. She should make ablution for every prayer while keeping herself clean from the blood by using a panty liner or something similar, as she would for the Mustahaadhah, until the bleeding stops.
She may also combine the Thuhr )noon( and 'Asr )afternoon( prayers together and the Maghrib )sunset( and 'Ishaa' )night( prayers. She may also make a Ghusl for the combined prayers and a separate Ghusl for the Fajr prayer, based on the confirmed Hadeeth of Hamnah bint Jahsh. This is because she is to be treated as a Mustahaadhah, according to the people of knowledge.
Shaykh Ibn Baaz
Footnotes
1. The Mustahaaadhah is the woman with Istihaadhah. Istihaadhah is either a prolonged flow of blood )called menorrhagia in English( or bleeding outside of the menses )called metrorrhagia in English(. Many hospitals and medical clinics in theUnited Stateshave pamphlets stating what women should do in such cases. In some cases, especially when the bleeding is prolonged, it may be symptoms of some other disorder.
2. This translator was not able to find this Hadeeth with this exact wording. The authentic narrations in Al-Bukhaari and Muslim simply state that she is to make ablution for every prayer.
