Public QnA

So I do not understand the rulings regarding washing self after toilet, wudhu and salah. If I am in public toilet and I can’t wash myself with water then I cannot pray my salah. But then I find water hours later and I do wash self and I then do my wudhu and salat. I will still be wearing the same underwear as I was when I couldn’t wash myself because it is same day and I am not home. Is this salah accepted? Must I change my underwear if I not washed myself with water after toilet?

If the underwear became wet with urine then yes you need to remove it before praying. However if you wiped yourself clean with a tissue and the wetness of the urine did not transfer into your underwear then it will not become najis however to pray you would still have to wash yourself

Can a woman ask for 50% of her future husband’s property as her haq mehr? Or does it go against the rule where he has to pay 1/8th of his property to her?

The 1/8th you are referring to is inheritance that a woman receives when her husband dies and has no relevance to mehr.

As for mehr, the amount should be specified clearly (as per Ayatullah Makarem Shirazi)

I started off with istihadha on 13/04 and normally my Haydh is 31/04. On the 10th day of istihadha the bleeding has become heavy should I still consider it as istihadha as I don’t know whether this is haydh or not please could you let me know as I feel my cycle dates have changed now and I don’t know when it will stop

If the bleeding started off as istihadha but then later developed the conditions of hayz then the new bleeding will be considered hayz.

Conditions of hayz are continuity of bleeding over three days such that you cannot say you are not pure.

So let's say that on 23/04 your bleeding had continuity such that you are not bleeding for three continuous days and there is no time of purity between, then this will be considered hayz. By continuity I mean that even if the blood is present in the vagina and not necessarily coming out and you can check this by inserting a piece of tissue or cotton into the start of the vagina and if between two checks it is always coming out with blood then it will be considered continuity.

However if there is no continuity then it will be considered istihadha, just the type of istihadha will change.

hope the above is clear for you

I had a copper coil inserted last Tuesday and have been spotting since than it’s been eight days and I think my bleeding is istihadha. It will take a few months for my bleeding to settle what are the rulings for sexual intercourse with husband in istihadha?

If the bleeding had no continuity over three days meaning that it came on and off and you could say you were free from bleeding for a period of time then yes it is istihadha and intercourse during that time is allowed

1) I have done ghus and I have been seeing after my menstruation a white substance, is that haydh or it is tahir substance?

2) How about the yellowish discharge it is paak too?

1) White discharge is paak

2) If the discharge is similar to what you see during your non haydh days then it is paak. If it is white and looks yellow on tissue or pad due to the contrasting colours then it is paak.

However if it has spots of blood or can be said to be remaining blood coming out then it will count as haydh and you will have to redo your ghusl.

If you have doubt of there being blood, then regard it as continuation of haydh and do ghusl

If someone take menstruation as istihaza? Or istihaza as menstruation? My problem is that my regular menstruation is only coming for two days and a little black or brown substance come on day three so I am not sure whether I should take my regular menstruation as istihaza or haydh. What will happen if it is haydh and I take is istihaza or if it haydh and I take it as istihaza?

The conditions of hayz is that bleeding has to have continuity for the first three days such that one cannot say they are tahir from bleeding at all even for 10 minutes. It is not necessary for the blood to continuously flow out rather if it is present in the inside that is enough.

To check that, take a piece of cotton and insert it at the mouth of the vagina and stand a bit so the cotton goes a bit up. Then take it out and if it comes out dirty then blood is present on the inside which is sufficient for continuity.

However if the condition of continuity is not met, then you have istihadha. If it is istihadha and you take it as haydh then you have to go back and do qadha of the namaz and fasts missed.

If both man and woman agree, can we give the Holy Qur’an as Mehr in a temporary marriage?

Someone in my family has tested positive for Corona and there’s nobody else other in my family to take care of her. My family is asking me to not fast as it wouldn’t be right for her to ask for food etc from someone who’s fasting that is me. What should I do? I tried to convince them but they don’t agree.

And this time as well my family was not okay with me fasting because I have weak immunity and I fall sick very often and have fallen sick to multiple diseases in past. So with a Corona patient in home, they said they couldn’t risk it.

Your family cannot order you to do against what is wajib. You can take care of your sick family member (which would have great rewards) and there is nothing wrong in asking food from someone who is fasting.

If you give a valid probability that fasting would cause you to become sick then you don't have to fast

Is it permitted in Islam for a women to study abroad without any mehram

Yes it is permissible if there is no threat of her falling into sin or her life being in danger or the like. There are several hadith on the importance of studying and there is no difference between men and women in this regard.

There are several points to consider in regards to your question

- There is a gerenal rule that something is allowed unless if that particular act were to cause harm (be it studying abroad) then a person should not participate in such an act.

- As for permission from the wali, if she is married, she cannot leave the house without permission from her husband therefore if he does not allow her to travel abroad, she cannot do so.
If her parents refuse her to study abroad and her travelling would cause them distress be it out of concern for her then she cannot travel in this instance either without the permission of her parents.

Please guide about the prayers and acts performed during periods on the night of 19,21,23 Ramadhan?

Before my period comes I have a dark brown discharge that lasts for 4 days, after which comes the regular heavy flow of menstrual blood.The menstrual blood lasts for 8 days after the 5 days. so it takes total almost 14 days to purify from this cycle.I wonder whether I should pray or fast on those 4 days before heavy flow?

The conditions of hayz are that there should be continuity in the first three days such that one cannot say they are clean from bleeding even for 10 minutes. Therefore if the brown discharge at prior to regular flow has no continuity and comes on and off then you will have to follow the rules of istihadha within which you can pray and fast.

If the discharge is very little then you will follow the rules of istihadha qaleel for prayers which means prior to namaz, change the sanitary pad or if discharge has come onto your undergarments, change them and wash your private parts and do wudhu. Blood of istihadha invalidates wudhu as well hence if between two namaz discharge comes out then you have to redo your wudhu and if blood spreads to the outside of the vagina then it has to be washed as well.

My menstruation is 7-8 days and I shower sometimes at the end of the 7th day but on the 7th day I go to do a facial treatment where I can’t do ghusl or shower because my face treatment will turn into an infection.
