Q: I have been suffering serious honor violence after my divorce. Some invalid marriage contracts have been done and now they spread false information from me and prevent me from meeting any new candidate. Is it allowed for me to be without headscarf to prove that way that I am not married?
Q: I had my haidh on the 8th of july. I finished six days later. On the 1st of Aug I started spotting very little seven days early from my normal day that I get it. I am thinking it might be implantation bleeding (bleeding that occurs if you are pregnant). Do I regard it as haidh not read salaah/quraan etc or carry on as normal? As if it is implantation bleeding it means I am pregnant.
Q: A lady doesn't have a fixed time for her periods. It sometimes comes after a year, sometimes after six months sometimes after 3 months. The days it last for also vary. Sometimes 5 days, sometimes 10 days, sometimes 12 days. How many days does the husband have to wait after it ends before he can have relations with her?
Q: The argument put forward for Muslim women attending western universities, particularly to study medicine, pharmacy etc. is as follows:
1. Female medical issues can only be dealt with by other females. If Muslim women are not present in these fields, then Muslim female patients will have to interact with men.
2. If a Muslim is steadfast in Deen/modesty, then there shouldn't be a problem of women and men obtaining secular education. What is the Shar'i response and evidences to such fallacious arguments, if indeed they are fallacious?
Q: Is it permissible for a woman to go to work during iddat in order to retain her job thereafter, if she has no brothers, the rest of her mahrams are not interested in supporting her, though they have not been specifically asked, and her father is retired and so may not be able to support her after iddat. The question surrounds necessity. What constitutes necessity? It is unlikely that in a Western country, where benefits are paid, she is likely to starve. Furthermore, it is not the case that the father of the girl is so poor that he is eligible for zakat. It is very likely that he could provide his daughter meals and basic shelter after divorce. In such a scenario, would it be necessary for the woman to go to work during iddat if her husband is willing to pay maintenance?
Q: Is it permissible for a girl to make a non-mahram her friend? To talk to him, care for him and treat him like her brothers with no bad intentions or feelings?
Q: I'm suffering from a gynecological disease and I just got a procedure done by the doctor. With that I will get irregular bleeding and a lot of brown discharge which I assume is blood. I want to know that with this bleeding can I fast during the month of Ramadan and pray. It is said that menstrual bleeding will be irregular so I'm not sure if it's menstrual bleeding or its due to the procedure done. This will go on for 3 to 6 months. Some days I get it some days I don't. Please let me know what can I do?
Q: I have recently found out I'm pregnant Alhamdullilah and I have also applied for hajj for the next year. I realise it's not guaranteed that I'll be accepted with the long lists. My in-law's have told me to stop breastfeeding my child at an early age (8 months) and put him on a bottle so they can look after him if we are accepted for next year (2016). I am very unhappy about doing that, but I also know how difficult it is to get accepted for Hajj with the current system. What would be the best solution to this?
Q: If a woman didn't pray her fardh salaah right after the azaan, later she went to pray before the expiry of the salaah time but she got her haidh. Now will she be sinning for not praying salaah earlier as she knows that she might experience haidh if delayed thus the salaa will be qadha.
Q: Can a female offer prayer in case of spotting during pregnancy?
