Women's Issues

Irregular bleeding

Q: If my wife is always having periods for 5 days. After 5 days can we can do 'intercourse'? Last week after 5 days, after confirming that there is no more bleeding and no signs of blood, we did. But after 2/3 hours suddenly bleeding starts, this was the first time it happened. What does Shari'ah says about it? I can't explain my question much but please give me a detailed answer as we are very concerned about this. We don't want to commit any sin.

Fear of victamisation due to wearing hijaab

Q: Taqiyyah is to safeguard and with the recent events of the world I can't help but think about a verse from the Holy Quran that says "He who disbelieves in Allah after believing in Him; not he who has been compelled, while his heart is still content with the faith, but he who opens (his) breast to disbelief, upon them shall rest wrath from Allah and for them shall be a great chastisement" [Quran 16:106] How does that apply to hijab. If a sister must go to an area where she fears for her life because people easily identify her by her hijab, is Taqiyyah permissible if she removes it for that one time?

Nifaas

Q: A sister experienced nifaas for 38 days after her second child, had 7 days of tuhr and began bleeding again. Nifaas for her first child had been over 40 days. When will she begin counting 15 days and should she repeat her ghusl?

Travelling without a mahram

Q: Please can you advise if the following question posed and answered is correct? Especially the point mentioned that it is haraam for females to spend a night without a Mahram even if the journey is less than 78km.

Question; Is it permissible for a woman to travel for more than 78km without a mahram?

Answer; Aishah (R.A) reports that had Nabi (Sallalahu Alayhi Wasalam) witnessed the condition of women today (period just after the demise of Nabi Sallalahu Alayhi Wasaalm) he would certainly have prohibited them from the Masaajid, as the women of Bani Israeel were prohibited. (Bukhari). When the above Hadith prohibits women going to Musjid because of fitnah, there will be no absolute not leeway for women travelling without a Mahram. It is Haraam for females to spend the night without a Mahram even if the journey is less then 78km.

And Allah knows best.

Also can you please give the shariah ruling on a group of females going on a weekend trip within 78km?
