(THE LADIES DURING THE AGE OF RASULULLAH- SALLALLAHU ALAYHI WASALLAM)

The BBC reports:

SAUDI CLERIC FAVOURS

ONE-EYE VEIL

A Muslim cleric in Saudi Arabia has called on women to wear a full veil, or niqab, that reveals only one eye. Sheikh Muhammad al-Habadan said showing both eyes encouraged women to use eye make-up to look seductive.

The question of how much of her face a woman should cover is a controversial topic in many Muslim societies.

Sheikh Habadan, an ultra-conservative cleric who is said to have wide influence among religious Saudis, was answering questions on the Muslim satellite channel al-Majd.”

What the Shaikh says and is promoting was the system of Hijaab which the ladies of the Sahaabah used to observe. Explaining the Niqaab system, Ali Bin Ali Talhah narrates that Ibn Abbaas said: “Allah ordered the women of the Mu’mineen that when they emerge from their home for a need, they should cover their faces from ontop of their heads with the jalaabeeb and leave exposed one eye.”

“Women emerged (during the time of Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) with niqaabs on their faces.” (Imaam Ghazaali)

There is no controversy regarding this fact which is substantiated by authentic Ahaadith. It has become a controversial topic in the ranks of the zindeeqs of the age. There is no scope in the Shariah for entertaining the baseless ideas of zindeeqs.

The system of Modesty & Chastity in Islam

Adultery, A big injustice:

Keeping in view the social mischief brought into form. by adultery, Allah, the Exalted, has treated this sin only one stage lower than murder. This is not murder but in its evil effects on society it is equal to murder. While counting the good qualities of His obedient servants, Allah, the Exalted, has made a mention of this evil to be avoided by the righteous servants of God. He says:
“(The obedient servants of Rehman are those) who do not call any Deity besides Allah, who do not murder any person made unlawful until there is a legal justification; and they do not indulge in adultery or fornication; and whoso indulges in such vices, he shall meet suitable punishment.” (S. 25: V: 68)
The above quoted verse clearly explains that adultery is as much a heinous crime as polytheism, infidelity be forgiven or pardoned without proper repentance and atonement. The above verse continues to read:
‘The punishment of a person indulging in adultery and fornication shall be increasing moment by moment on the Day of Judgment and he shall dwell in it for ever.” (S-25:V.69)

The evil morons of this Ummah-the matric girls of 2012

Whilst Nabi Salallaahu alahi  wasallam instructed the women to stay within the confines of their homes, girls of this Zamaanah (time) passed their matric exams like flying devils.

To put  the salt on the open wounds, they were interviewed, congratulated and encouraged to study further by the evil Devil Radios.

Principals of various schools were interviewed and congratulated. Girls’ names were mentioned who done exceptionally well.

All of this was done under the sacred name of Islaam. It should be well known to one and  all, girls who passed with Haraam distinctions, have actually passed their test which will allow them to proceed into the bowels of Jahannam.

They have in actual fact gained distinctions in their abode viz. Jahannam.

Every girl who passed is doomed for a terrible reckoning in The Hereafter.

Every girl who did well, did Shaitaan proud. Every girl who got a distinction, be it a ‘g’, degraded the value of Islaam and is permanently under the La’nat (curse) of Allah, His angels and every Nabi.
Shame on the girls who passed.

Theyhave actually failed their test in Hayaa’ (shame). They have failed their test in ‘Ittibaa-e-Nabi (obeying Nabi Salallaahu alahi wasallam), for the Hadith
clearly instructs women to be indoors.

They have failed in ‘Ittibaa-e-Quraan
(following the Quraan), for the Quraan directly instructs the wives of Nabi
Salallaahu alahi wasallam to stay indoors.

Who and what are todays’ women?
Better than the wives of Nabi Salallaahu alahi wasallam?

Don’t they deserve a severer instruction to stay in their homes?
Shame on every girl who passed her matric.

She has actually disrespected Allah and His messenger. She is under the La’nat of Allah and His messenger.

That girl who will further her studies, is guarding her abode in the deeper end of Jahannam.

She is demolishing the shame, respect and character of every Muslim women on the surface of earth.

She will be an ambassador in the demolishing of the Hayaa’ of every Muslimah.

She is disobeying her Rabb-Allah, His messenger and every Nabi.
She is doomed for Jahannam. She is not fit to be called a Muslim women.

She is imitating the Kuffaar Na-Paak women by gaining fruitless distinctions. She is sinful.

She is a Faasiqah and a Faajirah.

And she is a moron, dumb stupid and silly.
Shame on you, O Muslimah, for demolishing the branch of Hayaa’.

Shame on you, O Muslimah, for uprooting the tree of Purdah.

Shame on you, O Muslimah, for causing Islaam to be degraded.
Purdah and Hayaa’, the solid stems of Islaam, were violated in her quest for a stupid matric distinction.

In school, Purdah is an alien friend who is folded and packed away.

In school, Hayaa’ too, is an alien friend, who is not befriended. How can she have Taqwa?

 How can she serve Islaam? How can she do Deen Khidmat?

 No, never will Allah use such a Faasiqah to lead Islaam!

It should be well known, that it is Haraam for Muslim girls who passed their moronic matric year, to hand themselves over to the land of Zina-university.

No Muslim girl, whose Imaan is healthy, will ever be found in a university where every type of sin is apparent.

Those Muslimahs who are found there, their Imaan is very weak and
about to be destroyed.

Know well, O Muslimah, you are supposed to be in your home.

Not be a prostitute and allow yourself to mingle and rub shoulders with every Tom, Dick and Harry.

You not supposed to be braggart for passing your matric.

You supposed to be remorseful, for every young male, Muslim or Kaafir, will view your Purdah demanding name.

Every Muslimah who received a stupid “A”, actually received an “A” for Jahannam. She passed her Jahnnam test and will enter it when she reaches there. She will be dwelling in the fierce,blazing hot fire of Jahannam.

Her “A” will serve absolutely NO purpose to her.

 Her stupid-Jahannam deserving “A” or several distinctions-will be of NO help to her on The Day of Justice.

Nay, Allah will never ask you, O Sister, how many Haraam distinctions you receiver, Allah will ask you how much of His Deen did you strive for to learn.

But Islamic knowledge, unfortunately, is frowned upon. Islamic knowledge is put in the back pocket.

Islamic knowledge, which is the knowledge of the best books on the surface of this earth, the Quraan, is looked down at. It is a backward knowledge.

A Darul-Uloom is not worth to be enrolled in. you will suffer getting a job.

You will suffer in getting wealth. You won’t become wealthy. You won’t see
money.

Never, Wallaah, O Readers,

 ‘lmud-Deen (Islamic knowledge) is ‘Ilmul-Nabi (Nabi’s knowledge).

It is a Moulana that is looked for when you, O Our sister, was born.

It was a Moulana that recited the Azaan in you right ear, O Our sister.

It was a Moulana who recited the Takbeer in you left ear, O Our sister.

It was a Moulana who was asked as to the meaning of your name, O our sister.

It was a Moulana (perhaps) who suggested the best possible name for you, O Our sister.

It will be a Moulana who will be called to perform your Nikaah, O Our sister.

It will be a Moulana who will guide you in your married life, O Our sister.

It will be a Moulana who will advise you with your marital issues, O our sister.

It will be a Moulana who will be asked to make a Ta’weez when you are expecting.

 O Muslim sister, it will be a Moulana  who will play the role of a ‘judge’ between you and your husband when is a dispute, O Our sister.

It will be a Moulana to whom you and your husband will go for Hajj classes, O Our sister.

It will be a Moulana who will make Tahneeq> of your children, O Our sister.

It will be a Moulana whose advises you will follow, O Our sister.

And finally, it will be a Moulana who will perform your Janaazah
Salaah when you become a Marhoomah, O Our sister.

No engineer, lawyer, technician, charted accountant, doctor, specialist, Sargent, politician, official, mayor, professor, chairman or even a boss will be capable of doing the various sacred
duties mentioned above.

Why?

Their degrees doesn’t allow them to carry out ANY action WHATSOEVER of the hereafter.

Even if they received seven stupid distinctions, they will not be called to carry out the above duties.

They are not respected when it comes to do ANY of the above.

But that Moulana, who hardly studied till matric, way will be made, his shoes will be put straight and he will be respected at all times by the above mentioned personnel.

Therefore, O Sister, you are running into Shaitaans hole if you attend a Haraam, Zina filled university.

By you obtaining a degree, or passing your matric, you were crawling into Shaitaan’s den, attending a university will show how you are willing to be hooked on Shaitaan’s bait and flung into Jahannam.

O Muslim sister, perhaps no one told you about this, or you were never advised in this manner, therefore, listen at once and save yourself from Jahannam.

Nay, “they have ears yet they don’t listen (to the truth).”

Tell us, O Sister, is there no Zina taking place in the universities? Are young Muslim girls like you, who passed their matric yesterday, not expecting from a Haraam relation today?

Is the Muslims who attend universities Salaah up to date? Do they observe the Sacred Divine Law of Hijaab?

Not the Hijaab which every Mary and Jane observe today, but the true Hijaab which will bring one in close proximity to Allah?

Is there no Haraam intermingling taking place?

Are the classes for males and females completely separate (i.e. not a single male will be seen, heard or spoken to
and vice versa)? Are the lecturers Muslims with a pious background?
If you answer ‘yes’ to ALL of the above, will you prosper in you quest for knowledge. Then your Imaan will still remain intact.

Although your emerging from your home will be Haraam, however
you will not be involved in much (other) Haraam.

If you go further to study, you will ‘display’ you displeasure to Allah for creating you as a woman.

Because it is Fardh upon the males of this Ummat to be the bread winners of their homes.

It is the males who have the potential in the fields of study.

Allah have the ability of studying to the males.

The females, Allah gave them the potential to look after the affairs of the house.

She will cook, feed and take care of her children.

She will know why her child cries she will know when her child is hungry.

Allah gave all of this to the females of this Ummat.

Males don’t know why the child is crying.

Nor will they know when the child is hungry.

And most important, they will be left hungry, together with their children, if the wife doesn’t cook.

If the wife works, where will she get time to cook?

May Allah grant us all the Hidaayat to make ‘Amal on what was written, Aameen.

Menstruation– a Taboo– The stupity of the kuffar

Below is an interesting article which shows once again the stupity of the kuffar regarding their ignorance and false religions.

I remember well how my mother welcomed my womanhood. Not well.

When I became a women through the natural system of haidh, still kafir then, I was scarred to death,  being then just 11 years old.

But due to the sexual filth education and growing up shamelessly , even to become a hypocritical atheist, gave some resources to read  and talk to fellow class mates and their mothers ,outside the home without having to tell your mother.

Gladly a class mate had her menses already and was told by the teacher (as it was right in the morning during class) to take me home to her to change clothe and to get everything i needed to take care of this situation

My dear mom, despite being western educated and HAVING had access to many medical related resources taught me the same NONSENSE.

Once I called my mother through the phone that IT came was very disappointed to feel and hear how she felt regarding me becoming a women now!

Never ever did she talk about this issue to me before to prepare me for this Event .

So I was kept literally in the dark and being embarrassed to be a girl and to become a women. I hated it.

She hated it, she verbally showed her disappointment and kept letting me know and feeling it. My class mates then, I remember told me how nicely their mothers embraced them  saying: Congrats , You are a young lady now.

NOT in our home. Me and her were the only females in our family.

For her now the times of cuteness and shameless clothing and letting her daughter run around naked, playing with boys were over.

Now she can get pregnant!!

So I , in “highly educated” Germany grew up believing my mother the same baqwas!

she taught me that I can never touch any living being, food, plants as II would poison it and transmit disease due to my menses. I was prohibited from taking a bath as the water will turn toxic. I should  feel ashamed etc…

literally stay away from others , plants, food , animals, public baths.etc..

But loh.

When i studied medicine to become a nurse and reading the so called teenage magazine “Bravo” I discovered the nonsense she believed in and taught me with conviction being right and me so stupid.

She had been raised by her catholic grandparents and attended catholic religious classes and turned so becoming an atheist witnessing all the idol worship of joseph and maria and the hate for women, girls, male dominance, etc.

Respect and mercy toward minors, women, elders is not shown in this false religion , as well as in others religions besides Islam.

My mother always complained how her catholic male teachers beat her up ( and other children) in front of the whole class pulling down the pants to hit with a can, or being hit on the finger tips while the hand were laid on the school desk..

So if church raises you this way inside and outside the school, than one does not have to wonder about many issues here.

It needed Islam to see the truth.

Only in Islam Women are elevated and seen as human beings having rights.

While in Christianity,Bhudism, Hinduism, Judaism Women and Girls are always seen as inferior, burden, being killed because of the sex, having no right of own living places, ownership,inheritance, right to speak…etc.

In fact in Christianity Women are processions of their fathers, husbands,

A husband can do whatever he intends to do with her , HE can sell her  she does not have a right to speak up, inherit , etc,

Islam on the other hand teaches us throgh the noble Prophet Muhammad , saalaaahu alyhi wa sallam, and  beloved mothers , Te Mothers Of The BELIEVERS  how wonderful girls and women are.

hen Aisha, radiallaahu anhu, had her menses and he , sallaahu alyhi wa sallam , requested her to comb his hair, she commented that she head menses and so was impure. So the master salaalaahu alayhi wa sallam stated simply: What. Do you bleed in your hands?

Ther are numerous narrations which showed how human Nabi , sallaaahu alayhi wa sallam, treated woman and girls and showed that they have a right to speak up, to inherit, have their own processions, can do jobs , can drink and eat from the same utensil, can share food and the nsame bed, can read books, touch etc…

Islam taught me how precious it is to be a woman, having girls and raise them, with intelligence and shame while learning myself to kick the myths  regarding the menstruation , which are in fact Jewish believes and conquered all then ignoramuses in the world,in the bin.

In the Jewish and christian belief( and others), one should check their books, women had to leave the homes and live near the forest or at least had to live  outside the home in a separate rooms when having their menses.

They were not allowed to interact with the rest of the society and had to kindle a fire or put a certain colored cloth as a flag out to signal that they were clean.

Women were not allowed to touch anything, not even to drink out the same utensil..etc..

I will post Insha Allah one day what their religions say in regards of all this…

KHUSHI knew it was cancer. Ankita thought she was injured. None of the girls knew why they were suddenly bleeding, why their stomachs were “paining,” as Indian English has it. They cried and were terrified and then they asked their mothers. And their mothers said, you are normal. You are menstruating. You are a woman now.

But that is not all. The girls, whose names I’ve changed here for the sake of their privacy, were also told: when you menstruate, don’t cook food because you will pollute it. Don’t touch idols because you will defile them. Don’t handle pickles because they will go rotten with your touch.

Pickles, I asked Ankita? Yes, madam, she told me, in her schoolyard in rural Uttar Pradesh. My mother says it is so. Her mother believed it, and her mother before her. It must be true.

I read of another girl who said that her nail polish had spoiled because she had applied it during her period. She saw nothing weird about this.

I met Ankita and her peers in November, while accompanying a sanitation and hygiene carnival, the Great Wash Yatra, which has traveled a thousand miles across rural India. The aim of the Yatra, organized by a nonprofit called WASH United, is to spread the right messages about health and hygiene — do not defecate in the open, wash your hands with soap after the toilet and before eating — using singing, dancing, games and support from cricket players and Bollywood stars. The tactic works: all of its stalls have queues of men and boys waiting to play. All except one: a curtained tent, where only women are allowed.

This is the Menstrual Hygiene Management Lab, where girls and women can come to learn how to safely make and maintain cloth sanitary napkins (use clean cloth; dry it in the sun; iron it to remove moisture) as well as for something even more revolutionary: to talk frankly about periods.

The taboo of menstruation in India causes real harm. Women in some tribes are forced tolive in a cowshed throughout their periods. There are health issues, like infections caused by using dirty rags, and horror stories, like that of one girl who was too embarrassed to ask her mother for a clean cloth, and used one she found without knowing it had lizard eggs in it. According to one of the Yatra outreach workers, the subsequent infection meant her uterus had to be removed when she was 13. She would be forever tainted as a barren woman, so that whoever saw her first in the morning had to take a bath to wash her stain away.

But beyond superstition and discrimination, many Indian women face the straightforward lack of clean, safe lavatory facilities. Back in my high school in England, we may have been embarrassed by our periods, as most girls are, but we had clean bathroom stalls in which to change our sanitary pads in privacy, and trash bins in which to throw them.

Many students in India, where around 650 million people still lack toilets, can’t say the same. Most schools I visited had filthy latrines, used only because there was no alternative. Some had none at all. Students and teachers made do with fields and back alleys.

Concentrating on lessons when you are desperate for the bathroom is hard on anyone. It’s nearly impossible for a girl who is menstruating and has nowhere to change or dispose of her pad. Girls grow tired of dealing with it. Often their families encourage them to stay home from school and get married. In one survey, 23 percent of Indian school-age girls dropped out of school when they reached puberty.

“Girls suffer if they aren’t empowered to manage their menstrual cycle without pain and shame each month,” said Chris Williams, the executive director of the Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council, which runs the Menstrual Hygiene Management Lab. “Their health, schooling and dignity are in the balance.” And the world suffers, too: educated women are healthier, have smaller families, often earn more and have a positive impact on development.

It can take years, even generations, to change a taboo. But anecdotally, outreach workers note that the only girls who don’t believe the superstitions about menstruation are those with educated mothers. So the best way to change the minds of future women is to keep girls in school today, and basic lavatory facilities are one of the easiest ways to do that.

Back in Ankita’s schoolyard, something revolutionary was happening. Although many male teachers in rural India are terrified that broaching the subject of menstruation will be considered inappropriate or worse, one of Ankita’s teachers was different. After attending a Yatra outreach session, he used 200 rupees (less than $4) of his own money to turn a disused latrine into a simple incinerator, which girls could use to burn their dirty cloths.

It isn’t perfect: girls still face the embarrassment of going to the incinerator with everyone knowing why. But this rudimentary construction, with its vent made from a discarded well-water pump, could have huge consequences. Not only could it bring educational salvation to Ankita and her classmates, but a better future for generations to come.

THE FIRST FATWA OF DAARUL ULOOM DEOBAND..Women and salaat

 

Where do pious women perform their salaat?

THE FIRST FATWA OF DAARUL ULOOM DEOBAND
(number 680)

 
Question:

What is the Shar`i ruling regarding women
performing Salaat in the Masjid with congregation? Is it
permissible or not? Or do the Ulama-e-Kiraam merely prohibit
it because of some cogent or underlying reason? Kindly furnish
us with a detailed reply. Was Salaam

 
Reply (no. 527):

Bismillahir Rahmaan nir Raheem
(1). The wife of Hadhrat Abu Humaid Sa`idi (radhiallahu
anhu), Hadhrat Umme Humaid (radhiallahu anha) came in the
presence of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and asked, “O
Rasulullaah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam)! I desire to perform
Salaat behind you (in congregation) in the Masjid (-e-
Nabawi).”
Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) replied, “You desire to
perform Salaat behind me, whereas your Salaat in the
innermost corner of your home is better than your Salaat in
your room, and your Salaat in your room is better than your
Salaat in your courtyard and your Salaat in your courtyard is
better than your Salaat in the Masjid of your village and your
Salaat in your local Masjid is better than your Salaat in my
Masjid (i.e. Masjid-e-Nabawi).”
Thereafter she made herself a place for performing her Salaat in
the darkest and innermost corner of her home. [Ahmad / Ibn
Hibbaan / Ibn Khuzaima / Targheeb wa Tarheeb, page 58]

 

6
(2). Hadhrat Umme Salma (radhiallahu anha) reports that
Rasulullaah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said, “A woman’s
Salaat in the inner most corner of her house is better than her
Salaat performed in her room and it is better for her to read in
her room than in her veranda and it is better for her to read
Salaat in her house than in her local Masjid.” [Ibid]
(3). Hadhrat Aaishah (radhiallahu anha) reports that if
Rasulullaah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) had seen the condition
of the women after his passing away then he would surely have
prevented them from attending the Masjid just as the women of
Bani Israeel were prevented from entering the Masjid. [Muslim
Shareef, vol.1 page 183]
(4). Hadhrat Abu Amr Shaibaani (rahmatullahi alaih) reports
that he personally witnessed Hadhrat Abdullah ibn Mas’ood
(radhiallahu anhu) ejecting women from the Masjid on the day
of Jumu’ah, saying to them, “You people go and read Salaat in
your homes. Your Salaat performed at home is better for you.”
[Tibraani / Majmauz Zawahid, vol.1 page 156]
All four of the above narrations are authentic and it is clear
from them that although the reward of performing Salaat in
Masjid-e-Nabawi is fifty thousand times greater, the Salaat of a
woman performed in her local Masjid warrants greater reward
for her, and her salaah performed in her own home is more
rewarding than even this. Furthermore, her Salaat which she
performs in the innermost corner of her house bears more
reward for her than that Salaat which is performed in the
veranda or any room in her house.

The Sharia… Please read and spread this. a must for the Muslim Home

Broken marriages: Jamiatul Ulama Gauteng’s appeal for Allah’s sake…
Assalamu-Aalykum wa Rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
In the Name of Allah, we issue this heartfelt plea to every Muslim husband, Muslim wife, Muslim parent and Muslim in-law.
The tsunami of broken marriages littering the shores of our communities, has reached tragic proportions. Each broken marriage leaves behind it a devastating legacy of hatred, enmity, traumatized kids and bitterly split families. Slandering, gossiping, story carrying, character assassination, court cases and at times, even violence is resorted in order to prevail upon the adversary which was just yesterday fawned over.
Upon reflection, the following reasons can be identi-fied for this pathetic and wretched state of affairs of our society.
1) Ignorance of what an Islamic marriage entails. Thus we find tens of thousands of rands being spent and months of preparations being made for the wedding. However, very, very little time is spent to learn the necessary laws and etiquettes of mar-riage. Despite the fact that the glittering wedding will come to an end and that the couple will need all the knowledge to navigate the ship of marriage through rough seas.
2) Despite having knowledge, there is a lack of self-control. We can purchase books and attend lec-tures, but until there is no inner willingness to change, we will not benefit much.
3) Lack of Yaqeen in the advices and solutions which have been given by Allah Ta’ala and His beloved Nabi Salallahu alaihi wasallam. This here is perhaps the saddest aspect of the current tragedy. A wealth of advice has been given to us by our beloved Nabi Salallahu layhi wasallam in order to guide the Um-mah to marital bliss. We ignore these gems and search for pebbles elsewhere and are thus left frus-trated.
We have, Alhamdulillah, extensively quoted the golden advices of Nabi Salallahu alaihi wasallam, hoping upon hope that somewhere, someone’s mar-riage could be saved.
Islam is a system and systems operate on rules and regulations. The rules and regulations in Islam are known as The Shariah. The more intricate a matter, the greater the need for detailed rules and regula-tions. To this extent, we have cited many Islamic Rulings from the internationally acclaimed Behesti Zewar compiled by Hadhrat Moulana Thanvi Rah-matullahi alayh. The information contained in this tabloid is merely a guideline.
In conclusion, for the sake of Allah, we plead to one and all not to allow ourselves to be misled by Shay-taan who is most pleased when that Nikaah which was bonded in the Name of Allah, in the House of Allah and under the banner of the Sunnah is shred-ded to pieces. We also humbly urge our readers to study and pass this issue onto others. So often do people get married without realizing the immense responsibility that goes along with it until it’s too late…May Allah guide one and all. (Ameen)

Why Muslim women can’t working as receptionists

MUZAFFARNAGAR – India’s leading Islamic seminary, the Darul Uloom Deoband, has barred Muslim women from working as receptionists, calling the act unIslamic and against Shariah law, reported Press Trust of India (PTI) on Tuesday.

The Darul Uloom Deoband has issued a fatwa against the appointment of Muslim women as receptionists. The seminary issued the fatwa after a Pakistan-based company submitted a query on November 29 regarding the appointment of Muslim women as receptionists, said the PTI report.

Darul Uloom said that a Muslim woman working in offices as receptionist was unIslamic because Muslim women were not allowed to appear before men without wearing a veil, as ordained by Islam.

Muslim cleric and president of the UP Imam organisation, Mufti Zulfikar Ali, defended the fatwa and said that Muslim women could work in offices if they wore the veil. However, he added the post of receptionist required constant interactions with people, and thus should not be practised.

Premarital sex in Islam

I’ve been told that premartial relationships are haram because they
lead to premarital sex, and that makes sense in the old times, when
contraception wasn’t as readily available, but in the modern era,
where condoms are and other contraceptives are easily available, why
are premartial relationships and sex prohibited? The way I see it, as
long as STDs and unplanned pregnancies aren’t an issue, there doesn’t
seem to be a huge problem with either premarital relationships or
premarital sex. Care to explain?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

You have been wrongly informed regarding the reason for the
prohibition of pre marital sex. In the past there were effective ways
to avoid pregnancy. The illustrious Fuqaha have even discussed the
laws of Azl( coitus interruptus) in which ejaculation takes place out
of the womb. The prohibition of premarital sex is absolute whether one
falls pregnant or not.
In fact every type of pre marital relationship is regarded as Zina.
This includes talking to ones future spouse through telephone, Skype
or internet chatting.
If potential spouses are convicted of pre marital sex, that is
regarded as fornication and in an Islamic state both will be punished
with 100 lashes. If pre marital sex was permissible, that would lead
to fornication across the board. Two persons who are convicted of
fornication would simply have to say that they are future spouses and
justify their fornication. Taking it a step further, extra marital
affairs too would be permissible as the convicted couple would simply
claim that they are divorcing their marriage partner and would marry
their ‘fiancé/e’.
The prohibition of pre marital sex is to safeguard the chastity,
dignity, and honour of future spouses and especially the girl from
abuse. What would happen if the future spouses engaged in sexual
activity and then one of them have a change of mind not to marry? That
could be devastating especially to a girl who may have sacrificed her
virginity to the person. While we do acknowledge that this could
happen even after marriage, however, there are laws regulating divorce
issues to safeguard one from such injustices. That is not so before
marriage. A woman would be used in the pretext of marriage to fulfill
ones carnal appetite and simply be dumped. In this world of
technological advancements where ones sexual appetite is unlimited,
men conduct themselves like vultures to prey on women and abuse them.
This is a common occurrence.
A women has a natural right of dignity and honor. She should never be
left to be abused. She is not an object to fulfill someone’s passion
and desire. She deserves much more than that. There is much write up
about women serving as prostitutes in dens. They feel no more than
animals and they themselves realize the beauty of Islam’s teachings in
preserving women in Hijab.
A woman in Islam is treasured like a Jewel. She is thus preserved in
her jewel box- her Hijab.

Iddat for Women

Iddit for women

 

Q: What is the iddit for older woman?

 

A: In the case of talaaq, the ‘iddat of a women who experiences haidh is the passing of three haidh.

In the case of the husband passing away, the ‘iddat of a woman experiencing haidh will be four months and ten days .

This law applies in the case where the husband passes away on the first of the lunar month. If he passes away during the month (i.e. on the second day of the month or any time thereafter), the ‘iddat will be one hundred and thirty days.

If the wife is pregnant, the iddat will be upon the delivery of the child in both cases (talaaq or husband passing away).

The ‘iddat of a women who does not experience haidh (e.g. an old woman experiencing menopause) is the passing of three lunar months in the case of talaaq and four lunar months and ten days in the case where the husband passes away.

This law applies in the case where the husband passes away on the first of the lunar month. If he passes away during the month (i.e. on the second day of the month or any time thereafter), the ‘iddat will be ninety days in the case of talaaq and one hundred and thirty days in the case of the husband passing away.

And Allah Ta’ala knows best.

إذا وجبت العدة بالشهور في الطلاق والوفاة فإن اتفق ذلك في غرة الشهر اعتبرت الشهور بالأهلة وإن نقص العدد عن ثلاثين يوما وإن اتفق ذلك في خلاله فعند أبي حنيفة رحمه الله تعالى وإحدى الروايتين عن أبي يوسف رحمه الله تعالى يعتبر في ذلك عدد الأيام تسعون يوما في الطلاق وفي الوفاة يعتبر مائة وثلاثون يوما كذا في المحيط (الفتاوى الهندية 1/527)

والمطلقات يتربصن بأنفسهن ثلاثة قروء (سورة البقرة الآية 228)

(وهي في) حق (الحرة) … (تحيض لطلاق) ولو رجعيا (أوفسخ بجميع أسبابه … (بعد الدخول حقيقة أو حكما) … (ثلاث حيض كوامل) لعدم تجزي الحيضة(الدر المجتار 3/504-505)

(و ) العدة ( للموت أربعة أشهر ) بالأهلة لو في الغرة كما مر ( وعشرة ) من الأيام بشرط بقاء النكاح صحيحا إلى الموت ( مطلقا ) وطئت أو لا ولو صغيرة أو كتابية تحت مسلم ولو عبدا فلم يخرج عنها إلا الحامل (الدر المختار 3/510)

والعدة لمن لم تحض لصغر أو كبر أو بلغت بالسن ولم تحض ثلاثة أشهر كذا في النقاية (الفتاوى الهندية 1/526)

وعدة الحامل أن تضع حملها كذا في الكافي … وسواء كانت عن طلاق أو وفاة أو متاركة أو وطء بشبهة كذا في النهر الفائق (الفتاوى الهندية 1/528)
