Women's Issues

Q: Please advise: my 2 sisters were both divorced and did not sit or keep Idaat. Few years later they both got married again to different partners. What is the consequences for not keeping Idaat?

Q: Is it permissible for a lady to go to a male gynaecologist? (when females are available) We have heard some people say that some mufti has said it is better to go to a male which we find inappropriate.

Q: I am currently breast feeding my son and I have a daughter as well. I have been blessed with a great milk supply alhamdullilah. I want to know what the ruling is on donating Breast milk and milk siblings, I will not know who my Breast milk will be going to. Keeping in mind my children will get married one day insha Allah?

Q: Is family dinner allowed? Can we get together with a friends family and eat together with 2 or more families at a place or in a restaurant? All women are wearing abyas?

Q: A brother told me that he committed intercourse with a woman in her iddah and wanted to ask if her iddah is now extended? If so for how long?

Q: A woman leaves home whilst in iddah, does the sin go to the deceased husband?

Q: My wife completed her 40 days after birth of our baby girl last week and had ghusl. Yesterday (after 6 days from 40 days) we had relations and then both of us had ghusl. She spotted some very light bleeding after couple of hours of ghusal so should she do another ghusal or just wudhu please? 

Q: A friend received one talaaq from her husband. She needs to know if she still needs to sit in her iddat? She is the breadwinner of the family - work starts from 7:30 am until 6pm - Can she still continue to go to work and fetch kids from school as well as do grocery shopping? There are no family members to assist - Dad passed away and other siblings are sisters who do not know how to drive. Also, if she does have to sit in Iddat and is allowed to leave the house for work, school rounds and grocery shopping, then is hijaab only required or niqaab is required as well? 

Q:

1. Is covering face fardh on women or just wearing burkha which covers the whole body except hands, feet and face suffice?
2. Is going for jamaat for dawah purpose from one place to another correct in islam? Is it part of sunnah? And what about reading fazaele aamal book? I heard few scholars saying just to follow sahih hadith and not these books. Please clarify.

Q: I am sitting in iddat at my aunt's house and the house is full and I don't want to be in the way. Can I change my place of iddat?
