Ladies talim

Submitted by user2 on Wed, 2013-08-14 08:19

Q: Alhamdulillah we have ladies weekly talim in our area. The talim has been going on for approximately 15 years. Up until recent years there was no particular speaker who did the six points, some of the ladies took turns to do the six points. A few years ago a female who often goes out in jamaat moved into the area and she now does the six points every week. When I had talim at my home recently I called an Apa (the Apa is an Aalima) who conducts the talim in her area to be the speaker for that week. The lady who usually conducts our talim looked a little upset. Sometime before another resident wanted to call a prominent Apa to be the guest speaker however the lady who does our talim said that not just anybody may speak. I would like to call another Apa who conducts talim in various areas to be the guest speaker at my home. I do not want to offend our lady. Is her behaviour correct? What are the rules regarding who may do the six points?

Some days my flow is much heavier and some days its just a little, how does this affect my fasts? Please clarify the rules for salaah and reading Quraan as well?

The correct place for a woman

Submitted by admin on Sun, 2013-06-09 11:50

Q: My husband and I both work and pay bills together. I feel that because I work as well he should be helping me with housework. I do the cooking and taking care of the kitchen and laundry and most of the ironing. It's just the cleaning the I need help with most times. And sometimes I want him to do his own ironing. What is the ruling in that? He seems to think it is a wife's duty to do all that work and I'm not fulfilling it. Is he right?
