Women's Issues

Q: I am having menstrual now for over 35 to 40 days. I want to know if I can pray or sleep with my husband?

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.

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?

Q:

1. Some ladies who have the habit of being in the state of wudhu, make wudhu even during their haiz period. Is there virtue in this?

2. What zikr does a lady read at each salaah time when in the state of haiz?

Q: I got my periods again after 13 days after my last period. Is it considered as istihazha and can I have intercourse with my husband during istihazha?

Q: My husband has given me divorce via text message saying talaaq more then three times. I have asked two muftis and three Aalims. They say I am now divorced. I am now doing iddat in my parents home. What is the Shar'ee ruling regarding a woman sitting in iddat? Can I go to work?

Q: If I am going to college, can I share an apartment with my friends (all girls and bestfriends) away from family?

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?
