After wading through some google searches and the cesspool that is islamweb.com's fatwas mentioning menstruation, I have still not found it. Can't say I'll miss it.
Thats terrible.. I could never understand why women were not allowed to attend funerals of men, i did read though it was because they cry to loud.. ? : /
Hmm... there seems to be a problem with Islamic ruling on funerals . let me put
the link here and highlight some basic rules
In the Name of Allah, Most angry , Most hateful to Ex-Muslims The dying person should be asked to pronounce, "Laa ilaaha illal Lah." (There is no God but Allah.) before death. The prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) said: "Ask your dying fellows to pronounce, "Laa ilaaha illal Lah." (There is no God but Allah.)"
They should also supplicate and say "Inna Lillahi Wa inna ilaihi Raje'oon." (To Allah we belong, and to Him we will all head back.) Allah (S.W.T.) says what can be translated as, "...Who, when afflicted with calamity, say:' To Allah we belong, and to Him is our return.' They are those on whom (descend) blessings from their Lord, and mercy. And they are the ones who receive guidance." [surat Al-Baqarah, verses (156,157)]
1). Those near the deceased should also close the dead person’s eyelids.
2). They should also cover the dead.
3). They should also hasten in preparation for the Islamic burial.
4). The family or friends of the deceased should pay off the debts of the dead person from the wealth that he has left, or by donations to pay off his debt if there is no wealth left.
5). They should also notify the relatives and friends of the deceased about the death:
6). It is permissible to cry up to three days after the death, but not permissible to yell or weep:
7). It is forbidden to weep:
8. It is recommended that food be prepared for the deceased's family
9), It is permissible for the woman to mourn the death of her relative for three days: (Mourning includes giving up perfume, jewelry, Kuhl, etc.); it is forbidden for her to mourn for more than three days except if it was her husband in which case she has to mourn, at home, throughout the "Eddah" waiting period, which is four months and ten days.
there are more rules but those are basic..
Hmm..........
if it was her husband in which case she has to mourn, at home, throughout the "Eddah" waiting period, which is four months and ten days. but do you guys know what Muslim men can do when his wife dies?? Lucky me.. we are heeeee.........., I am the man...........
we have three more wives.. some right hand possess and if some Muslim guy doesn't have three more wives, concubines, right hand posses then just after three days he can get a new wife............even a 4th wife........
Fools with beards write nonsense as the rules for the life & death from reading silly books that were written by medieval cave dwellers........... as if 21st century Intelligent human being can not use his/her brain.....
