Humidity
& Liquids
Shaikh
Mohammed Bin Salih El Othameieem was asked.
What
do turbidity & yellowness mean?
Are they to be considered as menstruation?
What is meant by the white patch?
Can it be considered as an evidence for the
end of the menses so that a woman can perform
ablution & purification or No?
Turbidity
(Kadara) and Yellowness (Safra) are vaginal
liquids. The
color of the first is light reddish, just like
the color of water in which meats washed but it
is not Grey reddish.
The color of the second is a yellowish
liquid. There
are five opinions expressed by different
scholars with respect of these two types of
liquids, most important of these opinions is
that if they were linked with the menses then it
is part of it unless it has come after the
menses with some spa of time.
If they were not linked with menses than
it is not part of it.
As far as the white patch (Gossa Baidha)
is concerned it is the white cotton which
is kept on the opening of the vagina, if its
color does not change, then it means that the
menses stopped and vice versa.
However some woman have a continuous
turbidity (Cadra) which goes on till the next
menses, in this case the sign of purity is the
stopping of (Cadra) even if (safra)
remains, because she has no white patch.
These are some of the problems which
woman face.
However the woman who have normal menses
they do not face such problems. These problems
are caused mainly by contraception used by
woman. Therefore
they should not use these contraception because
what prevents the natural causes the unnatural!!
It may also lead to sterility.
Menses is something natural,
if a woman take any kind of contraception
to prevent it then it will have a disastrous
effect on the natural functioning of the
woman’s body, feat Allah O’ women!
Shaikh
Ibn Othameieen was asked the following question
A
woman saw Cadra (turbidity) comes out of her
vagina before the commencing of menses &
abandoned prayer and then the blood (menses) came
out as usual.
What is the opinion of Religion?
Answer:
Um
Ateya says “We were not considering Cadra and
safra, after the menses, to be like the menses”
Therefore,
Cadra & Safra which precede menses and there
was no any sign of menses such as pains &
back paining etc. are not considered to be menses. Therefore, the woman who
asked the question must compensate for the
prayers she abandoned during the period of Cadra
& Safra.
Shaikh
Ibn Othameieen was asked the following question.
What
is the rule regarding the Cadra which appears
before the menses by one day or more?
What comes out may be in the form of a thin
black or Grey line of liquid?
What is the rule if it comes after the
menses?
Answer:
If
it was the initials of menses than it is a
menses and this can be identified by the
menses-pains, but the Cadra which comes after
the menses is it also a menses till it stops
Aishaa PBUH says “Don’t be haste (O’women)
till you see the white patch”
Shaikh
Ibn Otheimeieen was asked the following question.
What
is the rule regarding the yellow liquid which
appears before the menses by two days?
Answer:
If
the liquid was yellow & appears before the
commencing of the menses then it is nothing, it
is not a menses.
As Um Ateya says “We were not
considering Cadra & Safra to be like the
menses” In another relating “We were not
considering Cadra & Safra which come after
purity to be like the menses.
If the Safra were before the menses and
then get linked with the menses then they are
not impurity but if the woman knows that the
Safra is the initial stage of menses then she
must purify herself.
The
permanent committee of Decree was asked the
following questions.
Sometimes
and out – of – the time of menses, an untimely
liquids, which has light colors come out. They tend to be yellowish sometimes. Can I abandon prayers or pray?
Answer:
What
the woman sees after she becomes pure from the
menses is not a menses.
She can pray, fast and have sexual
intercourse with her husband.
Um Ateya says “We were not considering
Cadra & Safra which come after purity to be
like the menses”
[Refer to the Buthair Abu Daud” (This
the [Phasing of Abu Daud”
Shaikh
Ibn Otheimeieen was asked the following question.
What
are the rules regarding the yellow liquid which
comes out after purity?
Answer:
The
general rule regarding this and the likes is
that Cadra & Safra which appear after purity
are not to be considered like the menses because
Um Ateya said ‘We were not considering Cadra
& Safra which comes after purity to be
menses. The general rule is a woman should not
be haste if she sees the menses stops till she
sees the white patch as Aaesha said who said to
women “Don’t be in haste till you see the
white patch” We warn women ho use
contraception tablets.
According to medical circles there are
about fourteen side effects of contraceptive
tablets. It
causes womb ulcer, breast cancer, disruption in
the blood circulation, disfigure the child.
If the woman was not married,
contraceptive tablets cause sterility.
In other words an unmarried woman who
uses contraceptive tablets will not beget
children in the future. However, to prevent
menses by using contraceptives is as harmful as
preventing urine or stooling. It is something
natural and preventing the natural physiological
process creates the unnatural problems. Men
should prevent woman from taking such
contraceptive.
Shaikh
Ibn Otheimeieen was asked the following question.
Does
the liquid which comes out from the woman pure or
impure? Does
it foil ablution?
Some women consider that it does not foil
ablution?
Answer:
If
the liquids come out from the vaginal outlet
(from the womb) and not from the bladder, then
they are pure but they foil ablution even if
they were pure because what comes out is not
necessary to be impure so that to consider it as
a ablution foiling, wind which comes out from
the anal also make it obligation to make
ablution again because it foils ablution.
Therefore, if this liquids come out which
the woman is preserving her ablution, then her
ablution is invalid and she
must
renew it. If the liquids were coming out
continuously, then she must make ablution in the
mean time of prayer so that to pray, to read
Quran & such.
Such is the case with those who have
enuresis. This
is the rule regarding the relation between the
vaginal liquids and purity – cum – impurity.
These liquids do not make clothes and body
impure, but its effect on ablution is that it
makes it invalid.
But if the liquids were coming out
continuously they are not invalidate ablution,
however, a woman in such cases should not
perform ablution unless the prayer time enters.
But if the liquids were coming out
intermittently & they stop at the time of
prayer, then the woman can delay prayer till it
stops but she has to observe that the time of
prayer is not over, if the time of prayer would
be over, then she can make ablution and cover
the opening of the vagina
till she finishes from prayer. However,
regarding these
women who consider these liquids do not
invalidate ablution, they are not correct
because there is no evidence for this from Quran
and Sunna even Ibn Hasin who claimed that it is
pure, he did not provide evidence from Quran or
Sunna to support his claim.
Therefore, a woman must be conscious
about new purity and the correctness of her
prayers because hundred of prayers would not be
accepted if the woman was not pure. Some
scholars even have gone to the extent of saying
that who prays without purity is an unbeliever
because he is mocking the signs of Allah
The
permanent committee of Decree was asked the
following.
Sometimes,
& while I am praying, a white color liquid
comes out of me, should I terminate prayer and
make ablution again or continue to complete
prayer? Is
this liquid considered to be impure and should I
make bath to purify myself, or I can purify myself
only by cleaning its place? Should I change my
clothes or not? Is this liquid harmful?
It comes out even if I was on my way to
Mosque for prayer, then, should I enter the Mosque
and pray or should I enter to listen preaching
only without performing prayer, then how can I
deal with this white liquid.
Answer:
This
white liquids as impure as urine therefore, it
must be washed and it does not make it must to
take purifying bath (Gosol) because it has not
come out as a result of sexual ejaculation and
sexual desire. It must be washed away and ablution must be done again.
If it touches the body or the cloth it must
be wash away.
However, if it was continuous then a woman
can enter the Mosque, listen to Islamic lessons,
but she must not pray before washing it away and
performing ablution again.
