Women's Issues

Q: I don't want my wife to wear veil/niqab. What should she do?

Q: My wife and I want to separate and need guidance as per Islamic teachings:

1. Can my wife spent her iddah period after 1 talaq in my house as we do not want to disclose our separation due to her father's chronic illness? What are the restrictions in this case?

2. What is the period during which we can reconcile after 1 talaq?

Q: I was 5 and a half weeks pregnant and my pregnancy terminated naturally without having a sound ultrasound evidence. Only the placenta was formed. Is it obligatory for me to complete 40 days of nifaas?

Q: Is it against hayaa for a girl, who observes complete sharee purdah, to visit her fiance's house in his presence even if she intends to meet her mother in law, who is her father's big sister? If the girl feels shahwat in her heart and gets bad thoughts in her mind will it be permissible for her to visit her fiance's house? 

Q: Will our duas be accepted which we ask during haidh?

Q: It is not permissible for a woman to remove her hair during haidh. I would like to know that on getting free from haidh and at the start of taking the ghusal, is it permissible to remove the private hair or should it be done after performing ghusal?

Q: My question is regarding mazi and mani. 

1. Is mani thin and yellow for most women? I've read from many good sources that mani is thin and yellow for women, but can be white if the woman is strong.

2. How would I know if my mani is yellow or white in my case? There are three other characteristics that can also classify if the discharge is mani or not, such as, if it smells like pollen, comes out after feeling pleasure and spurts out. But how would I know if the mani I experience is thin and yellow, or just white. The reason is because I have seen mani come out yellow many years ago, but have only been seeing white see through discharge since I've been unwell. I would classify myself as weak because my health is not up to normal standards.

3. Can I say the white discharge I get is mazi and not mani?

4. Can, feeling extreme excitement without physically touching of a man release mani? I didn't know that a person could climax without sexual intercourse. 

Q: If a woman who is going through menopause bleeds for just one day after about 6 months of no haidh, what is the ruling? Can she make ghusal and read salaah or should she wait?

Q: Could you please provide evidence from the Quran and Sunnah why niqaab is waajib in the Hanafi School? I’ve read that “The awrah of a woman infront of a non-mahram consists of the whole body except the face, hands and feet” - Raddul Mukhtar p531. v9

Q: Can a women sleep without covering her hair and also go to the washroom without covering her head or is it haram?
