REPLY: Some of the common misconceptions amongst sisters is that women should not comb hair, cut nails, take a ghusl or remove any hair during menstruation - but there is NO such restriction in Islam at all - You can surely do all of these during your menstrual period.
When a woman is menstruating, she is not allowed to pray, fast, recite the Quran, enter a mosque except for a necessity, have intercourse, or touch a copy of the Quran. She is allowed to do other things such as cutting her hair and nails. Waxing: It is not prohibited to wax unwanted hair from the body during menses.
Waxing or shaving
When you're on your period, avoid hair removal. The area is sensitive and the pull of the wax strips can hurt, adding to your discomfort.
In addition to Judaism and Christianity, Islam also forbids men to have vaginal sexual intercourse with their wives during menstruation (Surah al-Baqarah 2:222).
Amongst Muslims, hair removal is part of an impulse towards general purity and cleanliness and includes the trimming of nails and the removing of armpit and pubic hair. Both men and women should remove armpit and pubic hair at least every forty days.
The Sunnah with regard to the removal of pubic hair is to shave it. In the case of armpit hair , the Sunnah is to pluck it, but if a person simply trims it, there is nothing wrong with that, but it is not what is best. And Allah knows best.
This act is prohibited except when a woman has facial hair such as a beard and moustache, then it is not haram to shave them. Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani when commenting on this hadith stated: Al-Nammash means removing facial hair using a shaver.
The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Remain away (from prayer) equal (to the length of time) that your menses prevented you. After this (after the period of usual courses) bathe yourself and offer prayer. Book 3, Number 0659: 'A'isha, the wife of the Apostle (may peace be upon him), said: Umm Habiba b.
“The ruling for menstruating women to recite al-Quran according to the final qaul of madhhab Syefie is it is prohibited as stated in a hadith narrated by Imam al-Tirmizi.
-Rasulullah (S) in said, “The mosque is not permitted for menstruating women or anyone who is in a state of janabah (sexual impurity).”
The religious etiquettes of Islam specify that removal of pubic hair should be initiated at menarche, and done at least once every 40 days [13, 20].
There's no set time for girls to begin shaving. You can start shaving when you feel you have enough hair growth on your legs and/or armpits to shave it off. Talk to some women in your family -- perhaps your mother, an older sister who has already started shaving, your favorite aunt, or someone else you trust.
If you are on your periods
Newly shaved skin is prone to irritation, and constantly using the pad causes friction of the skin. So, there will be rashes, bumps and even one will feel pain down there. Try to wait till the periods get over.
Shaving is mentioned because this is the most common method, but it is also permissible to remove hair by waxing, plucking, etc. Abu Shaamah said: al-'aanah is the hair that grows on the rakab, which is what is underneath the bulge of the abdomen and above the private parts.
Cutting nails and shaving the pubic hair are not things that are obligatory for the fasting person in particular, but they are not things that go against fasting either. Rather the fasting person refrains from eating, drinking and having intercourse, which are things that invalidate the fast.
Yes, you can read Quran without Wudu while lying on bed, but only if you are not reading from the Mushaf itself. Because one of the rules of holding the Quran is to be in the state of wudu. Read from your smartphone or from memory if you memorized the Quran there is nothing wrong with doing so.
Women on their periods are exempt from fasting and praying and are required to make up their fasts at a later time. Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri mentions that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) clearly stated that a woman in menstruation may neither pray nor fast.
According to the Qur'an, Muslim people with periods are required to take a break from fasting during their menses. One common misconception is that Muslim women must be silent about the status of their period during Ramadan. Actually, it is not uncommon for them to be open about their fasting break and enjoy it too.
A Regular: a woman who already had her first hayd
The maximum duration of her hayd is her longest hayd duration to date plus 3 days, as long as this total does not exceed 15 days. Any bleeding past this is istihadha, so she does ghusl and resumes praying.
Washing both hands up to the wrists. Wash the private parts and remove dirt or filth from the body (using your left hand). Perform wudu (ablution). Pour water over the head three times, and rub the hair so that the water reaches the roots of the hair.
However, when a woman is menstruating she cannot fast. But despite this, some women feel they cannot be open about their periods with male members of their family.
According to the above discussion, in our opinion, touching private parts with the right hand is makruh tanzih and not prohibited. It is included in matters of manners and the restriction in the hadith is a form of guidance and education.
The husband and wife can see any part of each other's body especially during sexual intercourse. In privacy: It is recommended that a person cover his or her sexual organs even when alone in private. There are exceptions when there is need, such as when bathing or using the toilet.
In Islam, women are forbidden from looking like men and vice versa. As for men, it is not acceptable to remove hair from any part of the face. However, the moustache can be trimmed. Men are also forbidden from trimming or plucking the eyebrows.
Pubic Hair & Shaving for Women
The Sunnah is to remove pubic hair with a razor and to pluck armpit hair with a tweezer (ouch), but most scholars agree that what matters is removing it, so other depilatory substances are permissible.
