Secretions during and after purifying from menstruation

Question:

It is narrated in Hadith (Tradition) after Umm Salamah (May Allah be pleased with her): "We didn’t use to count the yellowish or turbid discharge after cleanliness." What does this mean? If the blood stops and we wash, then that turbidity comes again can we perform prayers or we have to wash again?

Another Question:

My period comes an hour a day for the first three days then stops for two days and when I wash it comes again but slightly?

The answer:

Islam explains this in details. Every woman knows very well the days of her monthly period and this is from Allah's bounty for them. A monthly period comes according to lunar months because it is the calendar of Islamic law. 

A monthly period begins with yellow secretion (water), and then menses is either brown or black, then it ends with yellow secretion. If the yellow secretion ends, the monthly period is over, but if the blood stops and yellow secretion doesn't come, the blood will come again and it's still your menstruation. If yellow secretion comes, you should wash, and you can fast and perform prayers to Allah. The Prophet (May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said:

"If yellow water comes, a woman should wash and purify." After Umm Salamah (May Allah be pleased with her), Jame's Al-Ahadeeth Wal-Maraseel.

A woman only purifies after the yellow water is over then she can perform prayers to Allah because in this case her monthly period is over. Sometimes red blood comes after that, this indicates that it is bleeding and in this case it is advisable for her to go to a doctor and take medicine.

Many of you say that yellow water sometimes comes again once or twice, here I assure that a believer woman should be prudent and clever, she should know her own monthly period, if her monthly period lasts for three or six days for example.

If her period stops before its usual time, she should know that it will come again, she must complete the regular days of her monthly period and after that she can perform prayers after complete purification.

If her monthly period has been completed and she washes and confirms purification after yellow secretion (water), then yellow water or brownish secretion come again, she shouldn't count on that, she should only wash the place and do ablution for prayer. This is what the 

tradition (Hadith) of Umm Salama means.

Radio broadcasting Qur'an at Home

Question:

What if the Holy Qur'an channel is left on at home even though there isn't anyone home? This is for more blessing.

The answer:

Its ok, but when you get home, if you want to talk, you should switch the holy Qur'an channel off, because God says:

"When the Qur'an is read, listen to it with attention, and hold your peace: that you may receive Mercy." Surat Al-A'raf, verse 204

Due time of Evening Prayer

Question:

What about delaying Evening Prayer until short time before sleeping? And the Hadith (tradition) of the apostle of God which urges us to delay the Evening Prayer:

"If it isn't too difficult to my Ummah (nation - Muslims), I would order them to delay Evening Prayer."

The answer:

The due time of Evening prayer is from the Call of Evening Prayer to midnight, after midnight it becomes a missed prayer.

Most Egyptians especially girls and boys think that they can pray Evening Prayer till Morning Prayer but this isn't true because you can pray Evening Prayer till twelve o'clock but after twelve it becomes a missed prayer.

Due times of prayers are mentioned in the original books of Fiq'h (Islamic jurisprudence) and when the Angel Gabriel came down to the Messenger of God, it is a sound tradition narrated in Al-Bokhary and Muslim's books of Hadith, the prophet (May the blessing and peace of God be upon him) said: 

"The due time of Noon Prayer starts as soon as the sun crosses the meridian until the shadow of man is the same as his original length. The time of Afternoon Prayer extends from this time to sunset (before the sun gets yellowish). The time of Sunset Prayer is from sunset until the end of twilight (the redness which remains in the horizon after the sun sets and lasts until the onset of darkness). The time of Evening Prayer is until mid night (twelve o'clock at night). The time for Morning Prayer starts from true dawn, which occurs in the east when the light first appears from darkness of night and extends until sunrise." Narrated by Al-Bokhary and Muslim after Abdullah Ibn-Amr.

These are the due times set by God and revealed to the apostle of God (May the blessing and peace of God be upon him) by Gabriel. The Messenger of God (May the blessing and peace of God be upon him) said:

"If it isn't too difficult to my Ummah, I would order them to delay Evening Prayer." Sonan Abi-Dawood after abu-Horayra.

The Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H) wants us to follow his guidance. He used to sleep after the Evening Prayer so that his last work is the obedience to God. He (May the blessing and peace of God be upon him) wants us to follow him and our last work before sleeping is the obedience to God.

But, what we do today?

We pray the Evening Prayer and sit with each other talking bad and untrue things, backbites, slander about people and other things and after that we sleep so we see bad horrific dreams and nightmares because we didn't sleep after obedience to God, so he (May the blessing and peace of God be upon him) told us it is better to sleep after obedience to God. 

Now we perform the Evening Prayer at its due time and delay Shaf' and Wetr until we are going to sleep, when we want to sleep we do ablution, perform Shaf' and Wetr and then go to bed at once.

My advice is to remember God, ask His Forgiveness and bless upon the Messenger of God (P.B.U.H) when you want to sleep so that you can sleep with obedience to God and I announce good news to you as it was narrated: 

"Whoever sleeps remembering God is considered staying up and remembering God all his night and when he wakes up, Angels say to him: Invoke Allah because you have acceptable invocation"

Whoever doesn’t like to be considered staying up and remembering God all night?

Wearing socks to perform prayers

Question:

What about wearing socks in prayer for ladies?

The answer:

It is important to wear socks if she performs prayer in a place where others can see her. If she performs prayer in a special place for women or a place where no one sees her except her maharem (near relatives with whom it is unlawful for her to marry), it is allowed to perform prayer without socks. If she is in a family house, she must enter her room or enter a room and close the door so that no one sees her except her maharem, and she can perform prayer without socks.

As for going out of house, if clothes cover all the body and feet, there is no problem, but it is important not to show her feet because it isn't permissible for a woman to show anything from her body except face and hands. Islam orders woman to cover her feet. In virtuous ages women used to wear long clothes which covered feet and they didn’t have any problem as clothes covered 

everything.

The treatment of belated childbearing by witchcraft

I haven’t been pregnant; people tell me I need witchcraft and charm?
The answer:
O daughter, we should resort to medication because there are medical causes. It doesn’t relate to witchcraft or charm, all is nonsense. The messenger of God (PBUH) said:
"Whoever goes to witchcraft asking about something and believing in it, his prayer will not be accepted for forty days." Narrated by Muslim after Safeya Bent-Abi-Obayd after some of the prophet's wives.
The problem may be in the woman or in the man, who knows the reason? Medicine.
Can magician succeed people? This is the ignorance that we want to cancel. If this witchcraft is clever, I want him to bring the chemistry exam of high school, the same exam which will be next Saturday. I want to know it in order to answer it and succeed. Which magician can do it? Where is he?
O my daughter, these people are swindlers. When you go to them, firstly, they say that you are bewitched but in fact there is nothing, who did it? And he does tricks like witchcraft to make you believe him. One of them told me bow he does it.
He brings paper and he writes on it, folds it, gets some melted wax and sticks it under the cover of a cooking pot, no one knows about the wax, he asks: "Is there anything in the pot? No, then he turns off the light, he reads and lights a match and passes it on the cover as he reads, soon the wax melts, then he pretends that he calls for a Jinn and hits the cover hard, the folded paper that he had written falls off the cover. They all do such things.
Or, he tells you that the amulet or the charm is in an abandoned grave in a special place and he put it there himself or sent someone to put it. All this is nonsense.
Interposition: If one had already gone and he told her something like that? What can she do now?
The answer: You should go back to God and repent, ask God to forgive you, don't tell anyone that you did, go to medication and don't let others do as you did because it is a wrong path not accepted by God.

Woman performs prayer in mosque

Question:
Is it forbidden for woman to pray in mosque?
The answer:
Who said it is haram (forbidden)? It is permissible for woman to pray in mosque. The apostle of God (P.B.U.H) said:
"Don't prevent women from praying in mosques of God." 
Saheeh Ibn-Hebban after Ibn-Omar
If there is a special place for women in a mosque, woman can pray all prayers in a mosque, but we don’t prefer that for a younger girl who is not married, she shouldn't go to the Morning Prayer "Fajr Prayer" because of the road, but she can perform all the other prayers, she can pray in mosque because women always easily get absent-minded in prayer.
If woman wants to pray an acceptable prayer, what can she do? She can go to congregational prayer "prayer in a group" because if God accepts one's prayer, He will accept all the others for him, so the best treatment to the problem of being absent-minded is group prayer. Women used to perform prayers with the prophet (P.B.U.H) and young children with them. When the prophet (P.B.U.H) heard a child crying, he was in a hurry and performed prayer more quickly. He (P.B.U.H) said:
"I start a prayer and I want to take longer time but I hear a child crying, so I do it quicker so as it not to be hard for his mother." Saheeh Al-Bokhary after Abdullah Ibn-Abi-Katada Al-Ansary after his father.
Prayer in the mosque in a group at the due time is better.
And of course on Friday we get more benefits because we hear Friday sermon and listen attentively to the preaching so the prayer in the house of God (mosque) 

on that day has great and many benefits
