Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I am a man from outside this country, and the people of my country have a good opinion of this humble person, so they come to me to ask about matters of knowledge. I do not answer them except with what I have heard from the scholars in this country, and what I hear from the program Noon on Sharq. However, there is a very important matter that is frequently asked about by the women of our country; they ask my family, and they ask me, and it concerns matters of menstruation, post-natal bleeding, and irregular bleeding, and other matters specific to women. It would be wonderful if you would be generous, may Allah reward you with good, and compose a clear and comprehensive treatise on these important topics.
Answer:
There are existing extensive and concise works on menstruation, post-natal bleeding, and the rulings of ritual purity. As for what you mentioned about people being mistaken by what you hear or from the radio: if you are certain of the answer and the ruling, you tell them, "I heard so-and-so the scholar say such and such," or "I heard on the radio such and such." So mention to them that you heard this or that you read this, and convey it to them without giving them the ruling as if it were your own; rather, say, "This is something I heard or read." That is sufficient for them. You read this in the mosque, and as for the questions that are brought to you, direct them to the people of knowledge. Write to the people of knowledge, send them letters, and ask them.
