I didn’t know that !!

Yaar it happens. Because women don’t have periods for 9 months, during pregnancy. So its normal to have them for 40 days.

@*umair

Section 2 : She can not engage in sexual intercourse. Said Anas, "When a Jewish woman was menstruating, her husband would not eat or sleep with her. The companions asked the Prophet, upon whom be peace, about that, and Allah revealed: "They question you concerning menstruation. Say: 'It is an illness, so let women alone at such times and go not in unto them until they are cleaned. And when they have purified themselves, then go in unto them as Allah has enjoined upon you. Truly, Allah loves those who turn unto Him and loves those who have a care for cleanliness" (al-Baqarah 222). The Messenger of Allah also said, "Do everything except intercourse." (Related by "the group," except for al-Bukhari.)

AOA Wasim, Is it an illness or natural phase of women's life cycle?

Salamvalikum Bhai

If we look at the hadith in context wrt to intercourse it says(Natural Phase would be a completely differenct issue), Prophet Mohammed may peace and blessing of Allaah be upon him, and this is how I comprehended and I feel it quite simple.
Here the word illness, is analogous for weakness,(it does affect the men also as you read the words after that let them be purified) and thats how its the same with menstruation, i hope.

If we look at the topic of this hadith, it particular Sexual intercouse, during menses is haraam. If we read the complete hadith it clearly mentions anything other than intercourse.

I read the hadith regarding this in Sahih Bukhari topic that Prophet may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him used to fondle with her wives at this time and asked them to cover them with the izar(dress worn below the waist).

More then me, I hope a woman could answer this question. **
**Do you feel weak during this period of time.
There is nothing offending in what I have questioned above above. Because its an authentic hadith, wrt to deen any question is permissible.

Re: 40 Days

Sara,

Not all women bleed for the full 40 days, sometimes it only lasts for a few days, especially after a few pregnancies. The significance of waiting for 40 days before returning to your husband's bed figuratively is that it allows your body to recover from the stretching, tearing, etc. Even your doctor will tell you to wait 6 weeks before resuming relations. Once your bleeding stops, you will need to make ghusl and resume prayers. You are not prohibited from leaving your house or meeting with people, although common sense should keep you home for awhile :).

Re: 40 Days

Amana, yes I know that sex was offlimits during that period. But I know people who cudnt wait that long..but is that totally forbidden to do it during those 40 days ?

What bugged me was that she's not allowed to go out or meet people or anything. It's one thing to NOT go out for ur own choice but another to be "forbidden" from it because it's "haram"

Re: 40 Days

Well i didnt know that. I met up with my friends a few weeks later after having my little one.

Re: 40 Days

^ Well doctors advise against having sex for 6 weeks after delivery. In our culture, there’s that 40 days of rest as well. But I am not sure if it is totally forbidden (religious-wise) to have sex before those forty days are over or just looked down upon. Just like I’ve heard some say “gunna hota” for a woman to go outside or do anything in those 40 days so I have doubts abt this as well :halo:
