Q: Will a woman be sinful if she wears bangles in the presence of non-mahram men in the home? Because bangles make sounds which attract the attention of men. What is the shariah rule regarding this?

Calculating haidh while doing IVF treatment

Submitted by user2 on Sat, 2019-06-22 07:02

Q: In regards to my menses, I have a 28 day cycle... give or take. If I wipe and find a little change of colour on the toilet paper, I know I'll get my menses a couple of days later. Unfortunately, at the moment I've been having IVF treatments and I just stopped taking hormone replacement tablets and on to taking my injections, however, the nurse told me that my hormone medication and injections will overlap for 3 days and then I'll get my menses.

Now, this is the part I get confused because, the day she said that, which was a Wednesday, I had a few days before I thought I'd get my period, but on that day she said that, I saw a slight colour change on the toilet paper, anyway I still kept on praying because the day she said I get them was not the day I saw it, as I had a couple of more days before and I'm glad I did continue praying, because every other time I wiped it was clear and this happened to me for a couple of days, but yesterday, there were spots of blood on my underwear so, I washed and still prayed Dhur, but I again saw spots on my fresh underwear after changing them and now it was closer to the time when she said I was suppose to get them so, I didn't pray my maghrib, Isha or today's Fajr and now it's clear again and I've missed 3 salats and I'm upset!

What do I do in this situation and how can I make up these salats?

P.S. I feel if I do pray at the moment, I feel like I'm doing the wrong thing and if I don't pray at the moment, I feel like I'm still doing the wrong thing. 

Iddat after talaaq

Submitted by user2 on Wed, 2019-06-19 08:30

Q: My husband gave me divorce on 20 May 2018. I came back to my parents house and completed my iddat period. As he wasn't doing any paper work and was forcing me to come back to him. I decided to make the papers by getting khula. I got khula on 6 April 2019.

Now my question is, after getting the khula papers, do I have to offer my iddat again or is it done since I already sat in iddat?

Female studying alone in a foreign country

Q: I am from India but currently I am pursuing M.B.B.S in Dhaka where I live alone (without my family) in the girls hostel. This is my final year of M.B.B.S.

When I came to Dhaka I had no concept of deen, purdah , etc. and I was completely unaware about the fact that according to our Shari'ah, a girl is not supposed to stay so far without her mahram. Also I came across the fact that all my ibadat; be that namaaz, roza, duaa, any good deed , etc. is not valid while I stay in such conditions without any mahram. I am in need of advice, what should I do?

Wearing a coloured burqah due to extreme heat

Submitted by user2 on Mon, 2019-06-17 07:50

Q: Alhamdulillah, by the fazl of Allah I'm doing shar'ee pardah by covering my face,wearing gloves and socks, etc. But I live in a very hot and humid place.

My question is, can I use any other coloured cloth, I mean other than black, for my burka as the black colour absorbs heat and makes it tough to carry?

Working during iddat

Submitted by user2 on Sun, 2019-06-16 08:09

Q: I've just got a divorce. Me and my ex have been living separately for the past 2 years but he refused to give me a divorce. He gave me the divorce yesterday. I know I need to sit in iddat, but I wanted to ask if there's any rules on work. I have about £800 expenses a month. I live with my parents but I do not think they can pay my expenses for the next three months. I work at an office full time and also have a part time job as a care assistant which requires travelling from house to house. I'm not too sure what to do and if I'm still allowed to work or not. Please help me out.
