Raslullh ordered me that I should get him the mat from
the masjid. I said: I am menstruating. He said: Do get me that,
for menstruation is not in your hand. [ 3 ]
This clear and a adth proves that a woman may pass through a
masjid due a need.

(and keep her) and pronounce divorce when she is purified and
she again enters the period of menstruation and she is again
purified (after passing the period of menses), and then if he so

before touching her (without having an intercourse with her), for
that is the period of waiting (ldda) which Allh, the Exalted and
Glorious, has commanded for the divorce of women.. [ 7 ]
If a man divorces his wife when she is in her ay ,he is sinning and must
repent to Allh and take the woman back in order to divorce her in the
prescribed manner as enjoined by Allh and His Prophet . He then
should leave her alone after he takes her back until she becomeshir from
the ay during which he divorced her. Thereafter, she has her ay
again, after which, when she becomes hir again, he may keep her or may
divorce her before having intercourse with her.
Even though divorcing a woman during her menses is a sin, whether it is
binding or not, is a matter of difference of opinion. According to the
majority of the scholars of Islm it is binding. If one runs into these types
of issues they should consult a reliable scholar and explain the entire

must observe an iddah of three complete ay cycles if she is a woman
who has ay and is not pregnant, because Allh says in the Qurn:
