The questioner:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: There are matters that have become well-known among the general public, namely that a menstruating woman must refrain from them, and I would like to confirm their rulings. They are as follows: First, wearing
The Shaykh:
What is forbidden for her is only what is mentioned here. As for what the common people say—that she does not look at the moon, that she prays from the moment the clouds are weighed, that she does not delay the prayer, that she does not purify herself for the roof, and that she does not take a bath or clean herself—all of this is false. These are all false statements with no basis. What is forbidden for the woman in a state of hostility is only what is mentioned in this book. Yes.
The questioner:
And the resurrection.
The Shaykh:
Leave it. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: Among them is wearing a watch.
The Shaykh:
A watch is an ornament, a piece of jewelry from among the adornments. She does not wear it. Yes.
The questioner:
And among them is also preventing her from visiting the sick among her relatives, even if the patient is her father or her mother.
The Shaykh:
No, as for visiting, she cannot visit. She cannot visit. She is not in need of it. The need is what she requires for herself, whether it is a need or a purpose, or earning a livelihood for herself or for those she supports. But visiting the sick is not necessary. She can contact him by telephone or by mobile phone. Yes.
The questioner:
And among them is combing her hair and applying oil to it.
The Shaykh:
There is no prohibition on combing her hair and applying oil to it, except for perfume. Perfume is not allowed. Yes.
