Women's Issues

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?

Q: I am currently sitting in iddat of my final talaaq. I would like to know if it is permissible to read wazifas to get married now or do I wait until my iddat is over. I don't want to be out of nikah so I want to married again soon. And do you have any wazifas for marriage for me?

Q: If a working lady got divorced or her husband died, can she continue her job without doing iddat to financially support herself?

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?

Q: I want to ask a question on the importance of niqaab. I belong to a Pakhtoon family and we usually put a veil on our face whenever we go outside. My two cousins each of fifteen years came for study to our house. I told my mom that I will make niqaab from them but she got angry and said that you will not get any proposal due to your extra fundamental nature. She's a single parent so she is worried. I have failed to convince her. Whenever me and my cousins confront each other, I put a side of my dupata on my face. I am doing my best and the rest is up to Allah. Mum said do this all after marriage according to the will of your husband and do hijab only in front of your male cousins not niqaab. What can I do? I am very confused. Please guide me.

Q: It has been 24 days since my last monthly period. I normally have a 26 to 28 days gap though sometimes I come on after 24 or 25. My question is I saw a drop of blood on the 24th day in the night then nothing the next day till night and in the night 25th day I saw a drop again and today is the 27th and I have not seen anything. Is it permissible for me to have intercourse with my husband?

Q:

1. If a woman's menses exceeds ten days, then should she perform salaah?

2. What will the ruling be in the case where a woman bleeds for more than the days of her usual pattern of menses, but the blood then stops before ten days?

3. If she bleeds for more than ten days, can she have relations with her husband?

Q: My wife is not in niqaab but in hijaab Alhamdulilah. I however desire this in my wife and often admire women in niqab desiring this for myself. Am I wrong for having this desire? Have I sinned for wanting this even if not for my wife. My wife is slightly inclined to this but I am not pinning my hopes on this. Do you think this is just my desires disguised? Please give me advise as this is bothering me much.

Q: If a lady experiences white discharge during the day and the same is experienced during the night, is a ghusl fard for the discharge experienced during the night? Even though it is the same colour as the discharge during the day. Does the ruling differ if it is yellow or white discharge?

Q:

1. When a married couple spend personal time together without intercourse and they satisfy each other and the wife is in period does she has to take ghusul or she should wait until her cycle is complete?

2. Does she become paak if she takes ghusul in the state of period?
