Shari rulings of Islamic sisters

What do you say about woman reciting Quranic Wazifah during her monthly cycle?

Question 1: What do blessed Islamic scholars and Muftis say about the following issue? If a woman is reciting a Wazifah[1] of Surah Al-Fatihah or Ayat-ul-Kursi for forty days for achieving a permissible purpose and during this period her monthly cycle begins, so now can she continue her Wazifah during these days?

بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ

In the above-mentioned condition, the woman cannot recite Surah Al-Fatihah and Ayat-ul-Kursi during her monthly cycle for reciting the Wazifah to achieve her purpose because it is impermissible for the woman, having a monthly cycle, to recite the Holy Quran. However, it is allowed in two conditions:

1           Reciting (them) in a specific manner for giving education

2           Reciting blessed Quranic Ayahs consisting of Glory of Allah and Du’a only with the intention of Zikr and Du’a

In addition to them, the third condition, i.e. to recite with the intention of Wazifah is not allowed as this intention is not the intention for Du’a and Glory of Allah.

وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ وَ رَسُوْلُہٗ اَعْلَم صلَّی اللہ علیہ واٰلہٖ وسلَّم

What do you say about woman wearing jewellery during the Iddat period?

Question 2: What do blessed Islamic scholars and Muftis say about the following issue? Should a woman wear a nose-pin and earrings during the Iddat period of three divorces?

بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ

It is forbidden for a woman to wear every type of jewellery during the Iddat period of three divorces as for a woman, it is Wajib to mourn during this Iddat period. Mourning means that the woman should stop wearing jewellery, nose-pin, earrings, ring, plain rings, bangles, applying kohl, using fragrance, applying oil (even if it is without fragrance), using comb, in short, she should stop using every type of adornment. However, due to a Shar’i reason, she is allowed to perform some of the acts such as she can apply oil to her hair and comb it if she gets headache because of not doing them.

وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ وَ رَسُوْلُہٗ اَعْلَم صلَّی اللہ علیہ واٰلہٖ وسلَّم


[1] Wazifah or Wird means a set of sacred and blessed words recited usually in a fixed number for having spiritual or physical benefits.
