this gives a scholarly support to my stance [8D][/blue]

another imp. thing which we were discussing recently in a women's programme on local radio ramadan is that many a times the fact of not being able to carry out acts of worship like salah, fasting, visiting the kaaba etc during periods or puerperium(the time periosd after child birth) is put down to the state of impurity; which obviously means physical impurity as it does not obviously mean spiritual impurity.
but in todays time and age with such an advancement in everything including personal hygiene e.g. highly absorbable sanitary towels, frequent changing, much advanced self care, etc.its not like the olden days when there would be a high chance of leaking and staining here and there etc.(although we are aware that many parts of the world are still in the same state; the rules of complete restriction to mosque then may apply to them because of physical impurity)
so actually we could look at things more positively i.e. it is actually the care and consideration of islam for women that it has given her the relaxation from the acts of worship during these days when she may not feel physically well or fit to perform them due to pains, heavy bleeding etc. and many a times women actually need to take various medications during these days.
[purple]hence instead of looking at a woman as an impure object during such days, she should be looked at as someone who is cared for and looked after well by her loving Creator and his messenger sws.[/purple] [8)][/quote]
