Menstruation and Post-Natal bleeding, - Dought& clear, - * What is the ruling if the length of the menstrual period is increased because of taking the contraceptive pill?

Share

If a woman takes the contraceptive pill and her monthly period changes from five days to ten days, is it permissible for her to stop praying during the additional days?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Yes, the monthly period may alter and change from five days to eight or ten or seven, and there is nothing wrong with that. If the period changes like this, the woman should not pray or fast. The period may also change and become shorter; it may be seven days then the bleeding stops in five days. Or it may be seven days but then continue until ten days. So she should not pray when there is bleeding, up to fifteen days. If it reaches fifteen days, the majority of scholars say that it becomes istihaadah (irregular, non-menstrual bleeding) after that, so she should go back to reckoning her usual period, such as six or seven days, and the rest is istihaadah, She should pray and fast at that time, doing wudoo’ for each prayer, washing herself with water and using a piece of cloth or pad. She should continue doing that until her regular cycle resumes. End quote.

Menstruation and Post-Natal bleeding, - Dought& clear, - * The person who is suffering from urinary incontinence does not have to wash himself before the time for prayer ends

Share

There is a person who is suffering from urinary incontinence. He did wudoo’ after the time for prayer began, then he wanted to repeat his wudoo’, but the time for the next prayer had not begun. Does he have to wash his private parts (istinja’) when he wants to renew his wudoo’?.
Praise be to Allaah.
If the person who is continually breaking his wudoo’– such as one who is suffering urinary incontinence – renews his wudoo’ before the time for prayer is over, he does not have to wash his private parts when renewing it, because he has wudoo’ according to the ruling.
But if the time for one prayer ends, then he has to wash his private parts and do wudoo’ again, then pray as much as he wants of obligatory and naafil prayers (during the time for the next prayer), because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to Faatimah bint Abi Hubaysh [who was suffering from prolonged vaginal bleeding], “Wash the blood from yourself then pray, then do wudoo’ for each prayer until that time [i.e., the usual time of menstruation] comes.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 226; Muslim, 333.
If we assume that he has done wudoo’, then nothing comes out of him until the time for the next prayer begins, then he does not have to do wudoo’ again, and his first wudoo’ is still valid.
The words of the fuqaha’ – that he should do wudoo’ at the time of each prayer – apply in cases where something has come out of him.
Al-Bahooti said inal-Rawd al-Murabba’(p. 57): “The woman who is suffering from istihaadah [non-menstrual vaginal bleeding], and others like her such as those who are suffering from urinary incontinence, continual emission of madhiy (prostatic fluid) or wind, a wound that bleeds continuously, or a continual nosebleed, should do wudoo when the time for each prayer begins if something has come out, and they should pray so long as the time for prayer lasts, both obligatory and naafil prayers. If nothing has come out then they do not need to do wudoo’.
And Allaah knows best.

Menstruation and Post-Natal bleeding, - Dought& clear, - * She is not sure whether she became pure before Fajr; should she pray and fast?

Share

On the last day of my monthly period, I saw some yellowish discharge about two hours before the adhaan of Fajr, then I went to sleep and I did not see whether that discharge stopped before Fajr or not. In the morning I noticed that the discharge had stopped, then I waited for a little while, then the adhaan for Zuhr had been given, and after that I did ghusl. Do I have to make up the prayers that I missed or should I offer Zuhr prayer only? Do I have to make up the fast of that day after Ramadan?.
Praise be to Allaah.
If a woman gets her menses, then the basic principle is that this menses remains until she is certain that it has ended, and it is not permissible for her to fast or pray when she is not sure as to whether her menses has ended or not.
We have discussed that in the answer to question number 106452.
‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) used to tell women to take their time and not to be hasty until they were certain that they had become pure. She used to say: Do not be hasty until you see the white discharge, meaning purity from menses.
Based on that, you do not have to make up Fajr prayer; as for Zuhr prayer you have to offer it because the time for it came when you were pure from menses.
As for the fast, the fast of that day is not valid -- if you fasted it -- because you were menstruating at the beginning of the day, and you have to make it up after the end of Ramadan.
And Allah knows best.

Dought & clear, - {Islamic history and biography}, - * Intermarrying among Adam and Eve's children

Share

Asalam Alaikum?
I have no doubt whatsoever, but these kind a things come to mind. Whem Adam and Eve bore children, I assume their children got married among themselves. Isn’t marrying between brothers and sisters haram in the Quran?
Can you recommend a good book(s) on Islamic Law covering every and each aspect of Life? Thank you very much for the generous work for the sake of Allah.
Thanks.
wa alaikum us-salaam wa-rahmat ullaahi wa-barakaatuh
All Praise be to Allaah.
As long as you are confident in your heart about your belief, no such insinuations will hurt you (inshaa' Allaah). If a doubt strikes a believer or something appears to him as a conflict between different textual sources of Shari'ah, he must believe that indeed for such doubts there are true answers and for such apparent conflicts there are solutions even if he doesn’t know it or is unable to find the right answer himself. However, a person should not collect all the doubts in his heart and worry about the complexities and leave aside the learning of useful knowledge. This is because it is incumbent upon a Muslim to learn and know things which have been clearly described (Muhkamaat) in Shari'ah so that he may be able to repel the doubts.
Regarding the question you have asked, it is a known fact that legislation differs from one Shari'ah to another, while the principles and beliefs remain the same in all of them. So, making of portraits was allowed in the Shari'ah of Sulayman (peace be upon him) but is prohibited in our Shari'ah. Similarly, making prostration of salutation was permitted in the Shari'ah of Yusuf (peace be upon him) but is illegal in ours. Also, war booty was prohibited for nations before us but it is completely legal for us. The Qiblah of people before us used to be towards Bayt Al-Maqdis, but for us it is towards Ka'bah. In a similar way, marriage between brothers and sisters was permitted in the Shari'ah of Adam (peace be upon him) as opposed to those that came afterwards. The following is a clarification on the issue by Haafidh Ibn Katheer, who said:
Allaah allowed Adam (peace be upon him) to marry his daughters to his sons for necessity. Every couple used to have a boy and a girl. Hence, he married the girl of one couple to the boy of another. This is said by Suddi regarding what has been narrated by Abu Maalik and Abu Salih, from Ibn ‘Abbas, by Murrah from Ibn Mas‘ood and by other companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) that Adam did not have (in his grandchildren) a baby boy unless it was accompanied by a girl, so he married the male of a couple to the female of another, and the female of a couple to the male of another.
Tafsir Ibn Katheer, Surat Al-Maa’idah, 5:27)
