What is the Islamic ruling
for a woman on reciting and teaching the Holy Quran in the state of Shar’i ‘Uzr
[عُذّر]?
Question
1:
What do the blessed ‘Ulama [Islamic scholars] state regarding the following
matter: What is the Islamic ruling on reciting and teaching the Holy Quran in
the state of ‘Uzr (monthly cycle or postnatal bleeding)? Is even a teacher not
allowed to teach it? If she can teach it, what is the method? How should she
teach by breaking breaths? Moreover, are those who teach in Madrasa-tul-Madinah
Online and in houses also allowed to do so?
بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ
الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ
الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ
It
is not permissible to recite the Holy Quran in the state of Shar’i ‘Uzr
(monthly cycle or postnatal bleeding). However, a teacher is permitted to teach
the Holy Quran in a specific way, whether she teaches it at home or in an
organisation, etc. The specific way is: A teacher should not recite two words
in a single breath but she should break her breath after teaching one word and
should then teach the second word. Moreover, she should make the intention while
reciting that she is not reciting the Holy Quran, and should make [some other]
intention, for example, she is pronouncing Arabic words. Furthermore, there is
certainly no harm in spelling words by pronouncing the letters individually. In
fact, different letters of a single word can be pronounced in a single breath
as well. However, reciting more than one word in a single breath is not
permitted.
Note: Remember! In the
state of Shar’i ‘Uzr, it is permissible for every woman to recite the Ayahs
which carry the meaning of Du’a or Hamd-o-Sana, with the intention of Du’a or
Hamd-o-Sana; whether she is a teacher or not.

Duration of the ‘Iddat of a
pregnant woman after her husband’s demise
Question
2:
What do the blessed ‘Ulama and Muftis [Islamic jurists] state regarding the
following matter: My husband has passed away. My question is: I am pregnant, so
when will my ‘Iddat end; and can I go to the doctor for check-up during ‘Iddat,
or not?
بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ
الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ
الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ
If
a woman is pregnant when her husband passes away, her ‘Iddat is till the end of
pregnancy, i.e. till the birth of the child. Therefore, your ‘Iddat is till the
end of pregnancy; your ‘Iddat will end when the child will be born. During ‘Iddat,
it is Haraam [prohibited] for a woman to go out of the house without a Shar’i
need. Therefore, if a woman falls ill during ‘Iddat and it is possible to call
the doctor to the house for check-up, it is impermissible for her to go out.
However, if the doctor does not come to the house for check-up or it is such
type of need which cannot be fulfilled at home, it is permissible for her to go
to the doctor for check-up, ensuring that Pardah is observed; [it is
permissible] as going out in this case is because of a Shar’i need.
