Rulings on Ablution for a Person with Urinary Incontinence: Three Scholarly Opinions
Question:
If a person has urinary incontinence (continuous or irregular urine leakage), is it permissible for them to pray multiple prayers with a single ablution?
Sheikh Sulayman Ar-Ruhayli hafidhahullah (paraphrased):
A person with urinary incontinence, as I have mentioned repeatedly, has two cases:
1. First case: urine keeps…
Did Sheikh Ibn Al-‘Uthaymīn (may Allah have mercy on him) retract his view on vaginal discharge, as the author above (may Allah bless her) suggests? [PART 2]
Question:
I would like to ask about a fatwa saying that Sheikh Muhammad ibn Uthaymeen, before his death, changed his opinion about whether a woman’s vaginal discharge breaks wudu. It is said that after a sister presented him with a research paper, he changed his fatwa. This ruling is said to be found in one of his books in his own handwriting, and I think the book is called “Moisture of the Woman’s Private…
Did Sheikh Ibn Al-‘Uthaymīn (may Allah have mercy on him) retract his view on vaginal discharge, as the author above (may Allah bless her) suggests? [PART 1]
This audio recording of Sheikh ‘Uthaymīn (may Allah have mercy on him) discusses the ruling on vaginal discharge in terms of purity and whether it breaks wudu. Notice how he refers to female jurists (faqīhāt), raises some of their strongest objections, and responds to them accordingly.
Below is a summary of the main points:
1. Purity of the discharge
Ruling: The correct view is that a woman’s vaginal discharge is…
Does Natural Vaginal Moisture/Discharge Invalidate Wuḍūʾ?
Shaykh Ibn ʿUthaymīn rahimahullah said in Ash-Sharḥ al-Mumtiʿ (1/392):
As for anything that comes out through the urinary passage, it does invalidate wuḍūʾ, because it is apparently from the bladder.
As for the natural moisture that comes out through the vaginal passage, the majority of scholars held that it does invalidate wuḍūʾ, while Ibn Ḥazm said that…

The Two Gloves
This is a light garment, easy to carry, yet very important! And despite that, when we look among women who wear the proper Islamic outer garment that covers the body, and those who cover their faces, we find that only a few of them choose to wear gloves.
So let us renew our determination, so that we may raise our level of modesty and reach the highest standards of covering. This is also to revive…
The poet says:
لِسانُ الفَتى نِصْفٌ وَنِصْفٌ فُؤادُهُ *** فَلَم يَبقَ إِلّا صورَةُ اللَحمِ وَالدَمِ
Meaning: A person’s worth is half in what he says and half in what he feels/understands; without these, he is merely a body of flesh and blood.

Tit for Tat: The Enemy of Lasting Relationships
A marriage built on pride, retaliation, and keeping score is like a house built on sand — it may stand upright for a while, but the first storm will reveal its weakness.
A “tit for tat” relationship turns love into a competition: “You hurt me, so I will hurt you back x2. You embarrassed me, so I will punish you x2.” But marriage is not a battlefield where one person…
Someone is taking their last breath today on a hospital bed, while you are frustrated by traffic on the road.
Someone is spending their first night alone after years of love and companionship, while you are upset over a small task left undone.
Someone has been making du‘ā’ for a child for years, while you feel anger over a little mess at home.
Someone is burying their mother today, while impatience rises because…
A sister asks: Is it better for a female seeker of knowledge (Ṭālibat ʿIlm) to marry a seeker of knowledge (Ṭālib ʿIlm)?
Shaykha Umm ʿAbdillāh Al-Wādiʿiyyah حفظها الله says:
🕰️Marriage is a blessing from Allāh the Exalted, and it is the Sunnah of the Prophets and Messengers.
Allāh the Exalted says:
{وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنا رُسُلًا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ وَجَعَلْنا لَهُمْ أَزْواجاً وَذُرِّيَّة} [الرعد: 38].
'And indeed We sent Messengers before you (O Muhammad ﷺ) and made for them wives and offspring.' [ar-Raʿd: 38]

I would advise her to not focus on her husbands faults or shortcomings. No one is perfect, including the man she marries, and herself. She should overlook anything that isn't major or needs to be addressed, and focus instead on fulfilling her own obligations, for she will not be held accountable for his mistakes or shortcomings, but she will be held accountable for her own.
And true ḥusnul-khuluq is in overlooking,…
Marriage is a test of patience, adab, and how we understand rights and roles. At times, you may feel irritation when expectations are unmet, but the believer returns to the boundaries Allāh.
Rights in shariah are not based on emotion or comparison. The husband’s right is a divine right established by Allāh, like the great right of the mother, and is not based on emotion or expectations, but is to be upheld and…
My brief advice would be for both the husband and wife to make expectations and pet peeves very clear early on. Come to a mutual understanding, then strive to fulfill each other's expectations بالمعروف. Likewise, avoid each other's pet peeves to the best of your ability, and this will in shaa Allah keep frustration, resentment, and upsetness at bay, and invite mutual love, respect and happiness.
Her energy fluctuates. Her sleep is disturbed. Tasks that were once effortless become difficult. Her emotions may become more intense, her anxieties more pronounced, and her sense of vulnerability gre
What makes this even more difficult is that these struggles are often hidden. A broken bone receives sympathy because people can see it. A visible wound receives concern because people can identify it. Pregnancy, however, frequently requires a woman to carry burdens that are largely invisible to those around her. As a result, she may find herself expected to continue functioning as though nothing has changed,…
Pregnancy in women should never be trivialized as something ordinary simply because it is common, nor should women be guilt-tripped into silence with phrases such as, “Be patient,” “Women have always gone through this,” or, “You’ll be rewarded for it.” The fact that something has occurred throughout human history does not make it any less significant, just as the fact that something is natural does not make it any…
