Re: Why can’t you pray and fast when you have your period?
@ Hareem: yes I do pray, I have no issues with not praying when I have my period or fasting I just wanted to know, I can barely walk when I have my period let alone pray. But I was just curious because it didn’t make sense to me. I’m not sure why its considered impure as well, does anyone know? I mean its not really something one can control? and its a natural part of every woman’s life so what is impure about it?
also for those of you sayings its what God has ordered, where is it that he’s ordered it? Is it in the Quran or some hadith? I really just want to know.
Also psyah I’m not saying we should question God, so if there’s something written in the Quran I’ll believe it but I sometimes tend to question society’s understanding of it is all. Because unfortunately a lot of times culture gets tied into religion and its hard to know what is accurate and whats not. In this case I’ve always been told I can’t do something, but I’ve never been told why, or where it says I cant do it, so naturally Im going to question if its actually true or if its just what people think or have known for long.
Peace
There are many things that are part of our natural cycles that are impure … such as the number 1 and number 2 … also passing wind and condition after sex … we don’t question these … why do we question the menses being impure?
