Things We Don't Talk About in Islam

Whenever a person has a question about their religion, they should seek the answer in God's Books like the Quran (Allah's revealed Word) and the Sunnah (the example in word and deed) of His Prophet Muhammad(peace and blessings be upon him). If the answer is not found in these two sources, they should look to trustworthy scholars for help. They are encouraged to read, study, and learn as much as they can about their religion, for the search for religious knowledge is an obligation upon ever person. Questions Muslim women ask most often regarding their religion have to do with menstruation and also masturbation. A Muslim woman who is learning about her religion finds out quickly that the menstrual period and the period of bleeding after childbirth (postpartum bleeding) are times for her to leave off certain acts of worship such as formal prayer and fasting. It is important for believing women to be aware of exactly which acts are forbidden and which ones are permitted in these situations. This book is intended to clear up the issue as much as possible.
