Fiqh of Menstruation

This is an introductory course on the essential rulings of menstruation, post-natal bleeding and abnormal bleeding. The course will also cover issues of women’s health, pregnancy, details of correct washing and hygiene as well as how to record and calculate one’s periods of menses and purity with worked examples. This is essential, personally obligatory (fard ‘ayn) knowledge for every Muslim woman. The rulings of menstruation affect many aspects of our daily ritual worship, and many sisters struggle with confusing and irregular menstrual cycles. Menstruation is also a topic which is sometimes seen as taboo or misunderstood. It is imperative that each Muslim woman strives to attain this knowledge such that she is able to complete her worship soundly.
