(girl’s matter) Part 1

HAYAA (modesty)
 Every religion has a corner-stone, the cornerstone

of Is Islam is HAYAA- modesty. We should try
to act on this principle in every action of our
lives. Don’t discuss your period around boys,
men and younger sisters.
Our periods
 This is something that Allah has decreed for

the daughters of Adam.” Prophet Muhammad
(SAW) said. Unlike Judaism, Hinduism or
Christianity, Islam does not view your period as a
curse. Our faith does not teach any connection
between mentruation and Eve or the first sin-
Islam does not preach that women are the source
of evil.
Praying
 During period you are excused from salah. This

is a gift from Allah as he knows how much a
woman is suffering.
 The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)
said, “… a woman can neither pray nor fast
during her menses” (Sahih Muslim)
 You don’t have to make up the Salah
However; the menstruating woman must make up
the missed days after Ramadan.
 Aishah (RA) said: “When we would have our
menses during the lifetime of the Prophet, we
were ordered to make up the days of fasting that
we had missed but were not ordered to make up
the prayers that we had missed.”(Sahih Al-
Bukhari)
Ghusl (bathing)
 After you are sure the bleeding has stopped than

make ghusl.
 Women used to send ‘A’isha (RA) little boxes
containing pieces of cotton cloth which still
showed some yellowness. ‘A’isha would say, “Do
not rush [to do ghusl] until you see white
cotton,” meaning by that purity from
menstruation.’
 ’After you are sure that all discharged has
changed to white then you are ready to make
ghusl and get back to praying five times a day.
“When we purified ourselves by doing ghusl after
menstruation, we were allowed a small amount of
light perfume.”
Ghusul obligatory action
 1. The intention to purify oneself from impurity.

 2. Wash the entire body with water once, making sure
that the water reaches the roots of the hair and the
places that it cannot reach easily, such as the armpits
and backs of the knees, as well as rinsing the mouth
and nose, according to the correct scholarly opinion.
 Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on
him) said in al-Sharh al-Mumti’ (1/423):
How to make ghusl after periods.
 Form the intention in the heart to purify oneself

from major impurity.
 2. Then say Bismillah and wash the hands three
times, then wash any dirt from the private part.
 3. Then do wudoo’ as for prayer, a complete
wudoo’.
 4. Then pour water over the head three times, and
rub the hair so that the water reaches the roots of
the hair.
 5. Then wash the body, making sure that the
water reaches all parts, starting with the right side
of the body and then the left, and rubbing it with
the hands so that the water reaches the entire
body.
 Use scented body wash as the women
companions used to use perfumed pieces of cloth
to wipe off menstrual blood and clean their
private parts three times. (Sahih Bukhari).
 It was narrated that ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased
with her) said: When the Messenger of Allaah
(blessings and peace of Allaah be upon him) did
ghusl for janaabah, he would wash his hands and do
wudoo’ as for prayer, then he would wash himself,
then he would run his fingers through his hair, then
when he thought that it [the water] had reached his
skin, he would pour water over it [the head] three
times, then he would wash the rest of his body.
 Narrated by al-Bukhaari (248) and Muslim (316).
FIQHI ISSUES
 ISSUE 1 If a young girl experiences bleeding for

the first time, then it should be observed whether
it continues for three days and three nights
(seventy-two hours). {According to Imâm Shafi’î
R.A. for twenty-four hours.} If it does, then it is
menstruation.
 ISSUE 2
If bleeding continues for more than three days
and three nights and stops at any time within ten
days and ten nights, then all of it would be
menstruation, similarly all of it would be
menstruation if bleeding continued for full ten
days (two hundred and forty hours). {Fifteen
days and fifteen nights according to Imâm Shafi’î
R.A.}
 ISSUE 3
If bleeding continued for full ten days and ten
nights {Fifteen days and fifteen nights according
to Imâm Shafi’î R.A.} then the ten days and ten
nights will be menstruation and the bleeding
beyond it is chronic discharge (istihadha).
 She should take a bath after ten days and start her
prayer. The minimum amount of time between
two periods is 15 days, if you start bleeding
before the fifteen days then it is also istihadha. In
istihadha a young woman has to pray regularly-
just change your pad, clean your private parts and
make fresh wudu before each salaat.
Issue 4
 But if a woman has a normal set menstruation

period and bleeding continues beyond her habit,
then it should be seen, if it stops within ten days,
all of it is menstruation and if it continues after
ten days, then only the days of her habit would be
regarded as menstruation and the days after that
is chronic discharge (istihadha).
 Therefore, she should perform make-up prayer
for the days beyond her habit. If she has a habit
of seven days and she bled for twelve days then
only seven days would be menstruation and the
rest chronic discharge (istihada). But if she bled
for nine or ten days only then all of it is
menstruation.
Issue 5
 If a mubtadeah keeps bleeding continuously for a few
months, then in every month ten days from the day
when bleeding started, these are of menstruation and the
remaining nineteen to twenty days are of chronic
discharge (istihada) e.g. if bleeding started on the fifth
of a particular month, the days between the fifth and the
fifteenth of every month are of menstruation and from
the fifteenth to the fifth of the next month are days of
chronic discharge (istihada). Note: only Islamic (lunar
calendar) must be used regarding Islamic matters.
Issue 6
 If a woman who is ritually pure puts on sanitary

pads, etc. at night and in the morning when she
removes it; she finds it to be blood-stained, then
her menstruation starts only at the time when she
sees the blood.
 Do not delay the ghusl after you are clean,
because all the salah you miss during deliberate
laziness from bath will be counted as missed
prayers.
 The Holy Qur’an says, “Then woe to those
prayer performers. Who are heedless of their
prayers (Part 30, Surah Ma-oon, verse 4-5
General cleanliness
 Removing hair from armpit and private part

within 40 days.
 Clean hair from your leg and arms (optional) not
with the intention that my arms and legs will look
good in caprice and sleeveless shirt but with the
intention of cleanliness.
 cleaning your teeth.
 Keep your room clean, because filthy places
attracts shaitan.
 Keep your thoughts and desires clean inshaAllah
this habit will help you to get to Jannah.
