Menstruation and Post-partum Bleeding

A question answered by Sh. Muhammad Saleh Al-Munajjed regarding the ruling on fasting of a pregnant woman who is affected by fasting.

My sister-in-law will be getting married soon. She is worried about the type of boy she can get married to. To be specific, she has asked me whether it is valid to get married to a person who is a strong supporter of the Mawlid or Milad-un-Nabi practice? I do understand that this practice itself is an innovation in Islam. However, the difficulty is whether one can get married to such people who practice Mawlid. In New XXX, the people involved in this practice, do this as an act of worship. People would be invited to attend this ceremony where various hadith are read, songs are sung and dua is made. People actually stand and sing! I hope this is the practice the fatwaa on your site refers to. The question is whether one can marry those who do this practice? The more difficult question and the one I am afraid to ask is whether these people are Muslims? Sheikh, you do not have to answer the second one if it is not wise to?

What is the ruling on a woman travelling without a mahram because her work requires that of her?

Is a woman counted as a mahram for a non-related woman when travelling and in other cases, or not?

I am a woman who works as a student supervisor in one of the schools. The nature of my work is such that I go on trips to schools outside the city in which I work, where I go with some other women who work there, accompanied by a driver but without a mahram. What is the ruling on that, and what is the ruling on the salary I take? - knowing that my personal circumstances and my work circumstances do not allow me to have a mahram with me.

i am asking this question on behalf of my wife.when she was 14, she made hajj with her mother, 2 sisters and one of those sisters husbands, who is obviously non mahram. she was unaware at the time that a women needs to make hajj with a mahram, is her hajj valid or does she need to repeat the hajj ?. please give some evidence/statement of the scholars on this, jazakallaah kharyan.

Iam the only child to my parents. Iam married and have only two daughters.My husband and I live in the USA, and all our families and relatives live in a country in the middile east. Thus the only Mahraam I have is my husband who cannot travel out of the USA for reasons that I cannot mension in this email. I really whant to go to Hajj inshaa-Allah since I have all the means to do so. Is it Halal for me to go to Hajj with an organized group for pilgrims. And if not, how will I ever be able to fullfil this important pillar of Islam when I don’t have any Mahrams?!

I understand that a woman to travel by herself for the duration of a day and a night without a mahram is haram. However the speed of air travel which takes at most 8 hours. Is it halal for a woman be dropped off at the departing airport by a mahram and picked up at the destination airport by another mahram? The total journey would be at most 10 hours.

Is it possible for a women to go to hajj or umrah in a group of people or in a group of women if there is no mahram willing to go with her?.

Is it halal for a pregnant woman to perform umrah or hajj? Does it depend on the stage of pregnancy she is at (e.g. 4 months pregnant compared to 8 months pregnant)? There is risk of falling and disease due the the crowds of pilgrims.

Assalam O Alikium My mother is planning to go to ummrah inshallah. But she needs a mairram and her husband nor her brothers are able to go. We have asked an alm he said she can go with her brother in-law which is also her first cousin. As long as his wife is there which she will be cause she’s going too. Is this permissable in Islam because I still have my doubts. Jazak allah ho karun.

This is a questioned answered by the Permanent Committee regarding, As a recent revert to Islam i am always trying to gain extra knowledge and guidance, inshallah. My question relates to my current job. I work as a home carer, taking care of the needs of a severely handicapped person, who suffered brain damage during birth. This person is 42yrs old, although his brain activity and mental capabilities are that of a baby, he has no control what so ever over his body and is unable to do anything for himself i.e he cannot wash dress or feed himself and wears pads for toileting, he is also unable to walk or talk at all and is confined to a wheel chair. I’ve already been told i am able to work with this person but now I’m wondering whether being in close contact with this person will break my wudoo, as i have to touch him on a daily basis. Inshallah you are able to answer my question.’
