Women's Benefits

The Prophet ﷺ did not allow ʿAli (may Allāh be pleased with him) to take a second wife! This narration is frequently cited whenever the topic of polygyny arises. The incident itself is authentic; however, important context is often omitted. Thus, the question that arises: How do we reconcile between the clear legality of polygyny in Islam and the Prophet ﷺ prohibiting ʿAli ibn Abī Ṭālib from marrying a second…

A Muslimah is not Anti-Polygyny Some women are overtaken by their emotions and begin uttering vile statements when other sisters wish to practice polygyny, or even when polygyny is discussed. Why? Don't you know dear sister that it is not permissible for a muslimah, especially a salafiyyah, to behave like this? Don't you know that we must have faith in and be content with the Sharīʿah of Allāh, the Majestic, the…

Performing Ghusl Without Undoing Hair Question: Is it permissible for a wife to perform ghusl from major ritual impurity (janābah) without washing her hair? Sheikh Najeeb Ash-Shar’abi ḥafidhahullāh: What is obligatory in ghusl—whether from janābah, menstruation, postnatal bleeding, or any other obligatory bath, as well as in recommended baths—is to encompass the entire body and to ensure that water reaches all of…

The Practice of Head Shaving Question: Is shaving the entire head with a razor, such that no hair remains, outside of ḥajj and ʿumrah considered an imitation of the Khawārij? And should one object to a person who does this? Shaykh Najeeb Ash-Shar’abi ḥafidhahullāh: Shaving the head is a prescribed act of worship that is obligatory in ḥajj and ʿumrah, by explicit textual evidence and scholarly consensus. It is…

Touching one's private part and its effect on wuḍū Question: Does touching the private part of a child invalidate wuḍūʾ? And what is the authenticity of the ḥadīth of Busrah bint Ṣafwān, in some wordings of which it is reported that she heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ “commanding wuḍū due to touching the private part”? Sheikh Rashād Adh-Dhali'ee ḥafidhahullāh: This issue is based upon two prophetic traditions,…

I saw my mother’s hair while she was in a state of wuḍū; is her prayer valid? Sheikh Abdulḥamīd Az-Zu'kari hafidahullāh: We are not aware that looking at hair—whether hair or anything else—to be among the acts that invalidate ablution. Even if you were the one looking, how could your looking invalidate your mother’s wuḍū? As for a woman praying with her hair uncovered, it is preferable for her to avoid that, and…

Does vaginal discharge invalidate wuḍūʾ? Sheikh Abdulḥamīd Az-Zu'kari hafidahullāh: Yes, it does invalidate wuḍū, unless it is continuous and uncontrollable—meaning it does not stop, or she has no ability to prevent it. In that case, her ruling is the same as that of a person suffering from chronic incontinence (ṣāḥib As-salis): she performs ablution and prays, and whatever is discharged after her wuḍū does not…

Does a Woman’s Wuḍū Become Invalid if While Washing Her Child She Touches Their Private Parts? Scholars differ, may Allāh have mercy on them, regarding whether wuḍū is invalidated by touching the private parts of a child. 1⃣. First Opinion: wuḍū is invalidated by touching the private parts of a child, just as it is by touching those of an adult. Ibn Qudāmah raḥimahullāh said: “According to the narration that wuḍū…

The Enmity of Wives and Children The enmity of wives and children mentioned in the Qur'ān — “Indeed, among your wives and children are enemies to you, so beware of them” — is not enmity in the sense of hatred or hostility, as some may misunderstand. Rather, as Ibn Al-Qayyim explains in his ‘Uddah (p. 64): “It is the enmity that stems from love, which prevents one from performing duties toward Allāh — such as…

Any direct communication should remain within clear limits—avoiding khalwah and ensuring that any interaction is purposeful, restrained, and not excessive. Lastly, regarding the claim that this is an innovated approach, I strongly recommend reading this post ⤵️ https://t.me/MarriedToYemen/212

🚫 Opponent: The Prophet ﷺ did not teach us to write marriage profiles and circulate them. None of the women among the Sahābiyyāt did so. ✅ Supporter: Did women not present themselves directly to the Prophet ﷺ? 🚫 Opponent: Yes. ✅ Supporter: Which would be considered more immodest—presenting a general profile in writing to potential suitors, or presenting oneself directly and physically to a suitor? 🚫 Opponent:…

Some of them even went to the extent of becoming mediators and ambassadors between women and men, receiving women’s questions, asking for religious verdicts, along with what contains in it provocative speech, and she sends them to Students of Knowledge. I swear by my Lord, this is the door to temptation. Frequent contact causes feelings (of shyness) to leave; if she feels comfortable with the speech of men and…

O pure-hearted one… Every message sent to a non-mahram man is a step by which shayṭān opens his door, a loosening of the veil of. modesty, and a whisper that may lead to a stumble. "So do not be soft in speech, lest one in whose heart is a disease should desire." [Qur'ān 33:32] And if you think that chastity alone is a sufficient fortress, remember this: we are not purer than the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, nor…

1. As far as I know, the matrimonial service in question (###) does not include sensitive questions like hip size, hair type, eye colour...not for sisters anyway. 2. The only issue may be sisters contacting the email to express interest. To avoid Fitnah from this angle, I would suggest (if not already the case) that the email account be shared between 2 or more mature, trustworthy brothers so the supervisor is not…

Sheikh Abdulhameed Az-Zu'kari hafidhahullah. “That is fine as long as it remains safe from Fitna.”

Questioner: Virtuous Shaykh, some women prolong dialogue with shopkeepers with conversation for which there is no need; what is the ruling on this? Shaykh Ibn ʿUthaymīn رحمه الله said: It is not permissible for a woman to prolong dialogue with a man who is not her maḥram as this leads to fitnah (temptation), and Allāh تبارك وتعالى said: فَلَا تَخۡضَعۡنَ بِٱلۡقَوۡلِ فَیَطۡمَعَ ٱلَّذِی فِی قَلۡبِهِۦ مَرَضࣱ…

This diagram shows the order of priority of who has the strongest right to inherit from the deceased among the ʿaṣabah (male heirs). The circle in the middle represents the deceased person. The numbers show the order of priority, from the person most entitled to inherit to the one least entitled. This chart can also be used to show who has the strongest right to be a woman’s wali (guardian) for marriage.
