Ruling on Composite Bonding

6th August 2024

 

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

Question:  My question is about composite bonding on my teeth. From my two front teeth, 1 tooth is noticeably a little more forward than the other tooth which has always been my insecurity however I never got braces due to being embarrassed. The dentist said she will put composite bonding on to level the teeth and will bring 1 tooth more forward so you cannot tell one is more forward than other. Also with the composite bonding, can I also close a small gap between my 2 front teeth too?

Answer

In reference to the above question, composite bonding is the attachment of resin molecules to the teeth to either restore broken structure or for other cosmetic reasons. This procedure is permissible for restoring the natural look for instance, repairing cracked or fractured teeth that cause difficulty in eating or talking or realigning the disorderly teeth which is so severe that it appears unnatural. Composite bonding procedure can be adopted to fix the unnatural defect so to create ease.[1] However, if there is no unnatural defect but someone only wishes to further beautify themselves by straightening their teeth then this is not permissible and must be avoided.[2] Bodily parts must be left in their natural state and changing them could potentially fall under taghyeer khalq Allāh (changing the natural creation of Allāh). One must bear in mind that a person should be grateful of the natural look that Allāh has created them on. Insecurities arise due to not being content with one’s natural looks by overthinking the minor defect (such as one tooth slightly forward and out of place or a small gap) and the fear of what people will say. Such reasons provide no justification in undergoing certain procedures to alter one’s natural looks. We must learn to exercise patience and be content with what Allāh has given us.

Hysterectomy, Purity and Salāh

7th February 2024

 

Question: A woman has had a major operation on her tummy as well as a hysterectomy. She is recovering but is very limited in her ability to move about for the next few weeks, she also has vaginal bleeding (not menstrual). Is she able to perform Tayyumum and perform her Salāh in sitting position during the next few weeks until she has recovered?

 

الجواب حامداً و مصلياً

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Answer

Concerning your case in question, there are three parts to it which will be addressed separately. The first part concerns the vaginal bleeding. This bleeding will not be classed as Haydh (menstruation) but Istihadah (irregular bleeding) instead which is still the state of purity. This means that Salāh is still necessary. [1] As the sister has had a hysterectomy, her womb/uterus being removed would mean she can no longer menstruate..[2] If it is irregular bleeding (Istihada), then she must renew her wudhu for every Salāh and in doing so, it will automatically expire at the end of every Fardh Salāh time.[3]

The second part is the question of performing Tayyumum. Performing Tayyumum is permissible as a last resort only when water is inaccessible within a one-mile radius or there is fear that using water will increase their illness, make them unwell or pose a threat to their health in general. [4] In the above scenario, if there is no fear of the health deteriorating then she must use water to perform wudhu and Tayyamum would not be permissible.

The third part of the query is regarding praying Salāh whilst sitting. Concession has been given to an unwell/sick person to pray Salāh sitting when standing proves extremely difficult for them. This includes anyone who fears that standing will increase or prolong their illness. If they are able to stand for a duration of their Qiyaam but is unable to stand for the whole period, they may stand the duration they are able to, and then complete whatever remains sitting down. In the above scenario, if the sister is able to stand, she should stand and pray as long as she can and then sit if she unable to continue standing.[5] Otherwise, she can pray sitting altogether if she struggles to stand.

Forming Under Layers Under the Cap

2nd October 2023

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

Question: I know about the prohibition of the camel hump hijab in Islām. The under caps that I have are all very see through therefore I add another under cap or even two sometimes in order for it not to be see through. I love light colours and most of them are usually see through therefore I layer them. Is this haram? My bun is always low and I don’t think it is camel hump hijab. I’m stuck in between my hijab under caps being see through and the camel hump. What shall I do in this situation? I don’t want to be involved in committing haram.

 

الجواب حامداً و مصلياً

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Answer

In reference to your query the camel hump underneath the hijab usually consists of multiple layering using scarfs, scrunchies or a high bun. This is done to achieve a heightened appearance underneath the hijab making obvious in its exposure which is not permissible. The impermissibility lies in the forms of layering which resembles the camel hump which the Prophet (may peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited.[1] If you yourself are aware that your bun does not resemble a camel hump and remains low and not so obvious that draws attention, then it is permissible for you to continue layering your under-caps for your purpose.[2]

A Woman Having a Miscarriage During Hajj

26th May 2023 

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

 Question: What should a pregnant women do if she has a miscarriage whilst in Ihram/ performing Hajj. Will she have to stop and do it again another time or is there a way she can still complete her Hajj whilst bleeding? And what about the Hajj Tawafs must she do them or not?

 

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

 

Answer: Concerning your query, a woman who miscarries her baby either becomes a menstruating woman or a woman on nifaas depending on the development of the foetus. Either way the rulings related to a menstruating or a woman on nifaas are generally similar even regarding Hajj. If the miscarriage took place before the forming of the limbs, then the bleeding after the miscarriage will be considered as periods provided that all other conditions are fulfilled such as minimum three days and nights of bleeding. If the miscarriage took place after the limbs were formed, then the bleeding would be regarded as nifaas.[1] This is generally determined by 120 days and beyond since by then not only do the limbs take their full shape but the soul of life is also breathed into it giving it life.

A woman who miscarries in Ihram will remain in the state of Ihram and perform all of the Hajj rituals except for Tawaf regardless if she is in her menstruation or nifas. Concerning the Tawafs, if she is unable to perform Tawaf Ziyarah (obligatory) then she must delay it until she becomes clean from her bleeding and then perform it. There will be no penalty for her in delaying it beyond the stipulated days only if she was unable to perform it fully that is or at least four rounds of it.[2] There will be no penalty for missing Tawaf Qudoom (sunnah) or Tawaf Sadr (wajib) due to menstruation and nifaas.[3]

A final note on this, if the bleeding after the miscarriage is nifaas then it is very likely that she will not become clean before departing for her home country. In this case the scholars have given a concession that she may go into the haram and perform her Tawaf Ziyarah. As a result of this, she will have to give a major penalty which is sacrificing a large animal i.e. camel.[4]

Is Yellow Discharge Considered Period Bleeding?

30th November 2022

 

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

Question:  I have an established habit of 7 days. The initial bleeding is usually red, dark red or brown. However, 3 weeks after my last period, I saw some yellow discharge for two days then it stopped and didn’t see anything thereafter. Are they classed as periods or not?

 

الجواب حامداً و مصلياً

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

 

Answer:

Thank you for your question. In reference to your query, generally yellow discharge is considered a period blood,[1] however in your situation as the bleeding/discharge did not carry on for a minimum of 3 days,[2] the 2 days of yellow discharge will not be considered as period. However, if you saw any blood within 8 days after that then the 2 days of yellow discharge then it would be classed as periods because the duration has lapsed 3 days.[3]

Does a Menstruating Female Traveller Pray Full Salāh or Qasr?

 31st December 2021

 

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

Question: A menstruating woman travels to a destination of more than 48 miles and intends to stay there for less than 15 days. She will be staying for 10 days only and during that time she will become clean from her periods. She will return home after 3-4 days since her purity. Must she shorten her Salāh as Qasr or pray the full Salāh for those remaining days before returning home?

 

الجواب حامداً و مصلياً

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

 

Answer:

The case in question is quite complex as the Hanafi scholars have differed regarding this issue. The current position we adopt is that the menstruating woman in the aforesaid case must pray Qasr after becoming clean, the reason for which will be discussed below. However, we will first explore the reason for the differences between the Hanafi scholars so to remove any potential confusion on this matter. A simple rule to understand is that in the Shariah, a person becomes a Shar’ee traveller if they make the intention of travelling more than 48 miles and staying at their destination for less than 15 days. Such intention must be deemed valid otherwise they will not be considered a Shar’ee traveller and the concessions of travelling will not apply. There are overall two opinions regarding your issue;

 

1) A menstruating woman in question must read the full Salāh after becoming clean and cannot read Qasr. This is the main stream view of the Hanafi scholars including Ibn Abideen Shami rahimahullah, Allama Badruddeen al-Ayni rahimahullah, Shaykh Ashraf Ali Thanvi rahimahullah, Mufti Rasheed Ahmad Ludhyanvi rahimahullah and Mufti Mahmood al-Hasan Gangohi rahimahullah.[1] Ibn Abideen Shami rahimahullah clarifies this rulings by stating that if a woman starts her journey whilst she is menstruating and then upon reaching her destination, she becomes clean or she travels for three days (in the earlier times they would measure distances by days so three days journey was the safr distance) and becomes clean for the rest of the two days journey then she must read the full Salāh and not Qasr. This is because as he states that nothing of her intention counts during her menses period.[2]

 

2) The second position is that a menstruating woman who intends a journey of 48 Shar’ee miles will be considered a Shar’ee traveller and will read Qasr upon becoming pure on her journey (or at her destination of less than 15 days).[3] This is a minority opinion but arguably the most convenient position as well. Amongst those who maintain this view include Allamah Shurunbulali rahimahullah and Burhan al-Din Ibn Mazah rahimahullah.

 

The reason for the underlying differences between the scholars is based on whether her intention is considered valid or not during her menses. The classical position is that a menstruating woman’s intention is not valid because Salāh is not obligatory on her so she is not a Shar’ee traveller. They equate her intention with a minor child as an analogy whose intention is not considered valid. For instance, if a child travels 48 miles from his home and during the journey reaches puberty then he must read the full Salāh because he did not have a valid intention in the first place. Similarly with a menstruating woman. This is different from a non-Muslim adult who started his journey of more than 48 miles and during this journey he accepts Islām, then he will pray Qasr. This is because a non-Muslim adult’s intention is considered to be valid and hence becomes a Shar’ee traveller.[4]

 

The scholars of the second position disagree with equating a menstruating woman’s intention to that of a minor child’s inability of intention but instead equate her to a non-Muslim adult’s intention before Islām. The difference between the two is that a child is not fully mukallaf and mukhatab (responsible and addressed to comply with rules of the Shariah and Allāh’s laws) due to their minor age whereas a menstruating woman is legally responsible in certain aspect of the Shariah (like for instance committing a crime etc). They argue that a non-Muslim adult not being able to pray due to his disbelief does not invalidate his intention. Likewise, a menstruating woman not being able to pray due to impurity does not necessarily invalidate her intention of travelling either.[5] One can also argue that a minor child and a menstruating woman are not analogous in intention because a menstruating woman is balighah whereas as a minor child is not, so their respective rulings will be different.

 

Some have also argued that travelling itself is not an act of worship so their intentions are not the same as that of Ibadah. In Ibadah, a menstruating woman’s intention is invalid due to impurity, but not the intention of travelling itself as purity is not essential for that. The classical jurists of the first opinion have refuted the reasoning of the this second position stating that a menstruating woman cannot be equated to a non-Muslim traveller. For a non-Muslim, his kufr is a major impediment which is his voluntary action and can be removed through his Islām whereas menstruation is involuntary that cannot be removed at her own accord.[6] She is therefore similar to a minor child’s intention as his sexual maturity (bulugh) is involuntary.

 

One notices the complexity of the issue on the account of the different reasons postulated by the Hanafi jurists. Both opinions are correct in their own respect and are based on plausible reasons and analogies. However, due to convenience, we are more inclined towards the opinion that the menstruating woman in question must perform Qasr upon becoming pure from her menstruation during her travel. This is also the position of our senior teacher, Shaykh Mufti Shabbir Ahmed Patel Sahib.[7] If she chooses to adopt the first position as in to read the full Salāh as a precaution then she may do so. What is necessary is to remain consistent in following one position only and not to arbitrarily switch between positions.

As a side note, if a menstruating woman becomes pure during her journey and the remaining distance between her and her destination since her purity is more than 48 miles then she will read Qasr according to everyone.

وإذا أسلم الكافر في سفره وبينه وبين المقصد أقل من ثلاثة أيام أو إذا أدرك الصبي (٩٧أ١) في سفره وبينه وبين المقصد أقل من ثلاثة أيام، فقد اختلف المشايخ فيه بعضهم قالوا: الذي أسلم يصلي ركعتين فالذي بلغ يصلي أربعا وقال بعضهم: يصليان ركعتين.

وفي «متفرقات الفقيه أبي جعفر» : فإنهما يصليان أربعا؛ لأنهما لم يكونا مخاطبين؛

فلا يقصران الصلاة، وأما الحائض إذا طهرت في بعض الطريق قصرت الصلاة؛ لأنها مخاطبة.

وفي «الحاوي» : سئل عن صبي خرج من نوركارايريد بخارى، فلما بلغ كرمة بلغ، قال: يصلي ركعتين إلى بخارى، وكذلك الكافر إذا أسلم فأما الحائض إذا طهرت من حيضها تصلي أربعا إلى بخارى.

What to do if You See Blood on the first day and don’t See it Thereafter?

10th December 2021

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

Question: My period is late this month; I usually always get my period on the 11th. It is usually always on time however I think that stress from university and life has delayed it. I found some blood in my discharge during Asr today so I naturally did not pray.  I have not seen blood since Asr, however I did not pray Maghrib because this is the usual time of my period. Is this a sin because I saw nothing when I inserted a cotton like blood or anything. Was I supposed to pray Maghrib? I did not because I thought since it was the time of my daily period or close to it that I should not pray.

 

الجواب حامداً و مصلياً

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

 

Answer:

Thank for your query. You would like to know if the Maghrib you missed was supposed to be prayed. The issue whether Maghrib Salāh was obligatory on you or not depends on whether you continued bleeding or not thereafter within 10 days from the first time you saw discharge other than white. If you did not see any blood at all after this then the blood you saw at the time of Asr was not Haydh but Istihadha.  Therefore, you must repeat your Asr and Maghrib without the need for ghusl. [1] Generally, one should delay the Salāh until the end of the mustahab prayer time to check whether the bleeding continues or not. As for Maghrib, it is mustahab to read the prayer as soon as possible.[2] Therefore, you should have done wudhu and prayed your Maghrib salah shortly after the time had started. You will now have to do qadha of your Asr and Maghrib.

If on the other hand you continued bleeding thereafter within 10 days of when you first saw the blood after Asr, then all the days from that Asr time will be as considered your period days. Therefore, you will not have to do qadha of the Asr and Maghrib you missed. The ruling is the same even if some days you saw blood and some days you didn’t i.e. those days will still be considered Haydh according to your normal habit. [3] But you will not count your period from the 11th rather from the Asr time that you saw the blood.

Another point to remember is that if you continued bleeding even after 10 days then you must refer back to your last Haydh and purity habit to determine which days were Haydh and which days were Istihadha. [4]

Is Botox Permissible or Not?

                           18th November 2021

 

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

Question:  I was wondering whether it is possible to give botox treatments and fillers. Eg. To enhance beauty etc?

 

الجواب حامداً و مصلياً

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Answer

In reference to your query, it is permissible to perform botox and filler treatments as these procedures do not permanently alter ones’ bodily features that does not fall under the category of tagh’yeer. It is merely injecting a substance so to temporarily freeze the muscles. Tagh’yeer means to permanently alter one’s natural features by adding or removing a certain bodily limb for beautification that is contrary to what Allāh Almighty naturally created one upon.[1]. The effects of botox and fillers o the other hand is not permanent and lasts for a month or so. The treatment is continuously performed if the aesthetic effects are desired. It is a non-intrisve method so it does not require a surgical procedure.

To further explain, botox is most commonly associated with reducing muscle tension around certain features of the face enhancing volume and consistency. This is achieved by causing the facial muscles to stiffen and reduce contraction, resulting in an evener skin surface. Botox is semi-permanent usually lasting 3-4 months and requires continuation if one chooses to. It is also used for several other treatments such as excessive sweating, over-reactive bladder and chronic migraines etc.[2]

Dermal filler is similar to botox that enhances and adds plumpness to certain areas of the face particularly the lips, sides of the mouth and cheeks. It can further be used to add volume to the forehead and assist in smoothing out wrinkles. However, as mentioned that botox usually involves injecting a solution containing non-toxic bacteria powder, which is then mixed into a saline dissolvent. The solution contains three main ingredients that are required for a successful outcome, the bacteria, human albumin (which is the donated blood plasma of humans) and sodium chloride. The human plasma is what causes the use of botox to become haram, as it is forbidden to take benefit from any part of the human body for any reasons including aesthetic.[3]

Furthermore, dermal fillers contain calcium hydroxylapatite (which is non-animal derived mineral), hyaluronic acid, Polyalkylimide, Polylactic acid, PMMA.[4] There are different types of dermal filler that are used specifically for enhancing certain areas. Juvéderm filler is made from a hyaluronic acid gel whilst Restylane filler is a non-animal derived hyaluronic acid gel. However, there are fillers such as Collagen which is used to smooth out wrinkles and lines originally made from sanitized cows’ skin.[5]

The following types of fillers are derived specifically from hyaluronic acid with additions of the main ingredients. Sculptra, Captique, Hylaform and Radiesse fillers are permissible to be injected into the skin due to the base ingredient of hyaluronic acid. Some fillers are considered vegan in terms of the ingredients used and are required by law to be tested on animals therefore, removing the vegan-friendly label.[6]

Though botox and filler are not Haram when the conditions are met one should consider the possible side effects and risks of each procedure. Breathing difficulties, bruising, swelling and in severe cases nerve damage. If one does not feel the need to perform these procedures then best avoided. One must understand that from an Islamic perspective they are unnecessary forms of beautification for verily Allah looks at one’s heart and not at his outward appearance. A final point on this is that the above explanation  of botox is based on the current understanding of the procedure and ingredients. If it contains impure ingredients then it will not be permissible at all.

Are Permanent Hair Dyes Permissible?

26th August 2021

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

Question: Are Muslim women allowed to dye their hair with natural colours permanently? Kindly provide a detailed answer for this.

 

الجواب حامداً و مصلياً

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

 

Answer:

 

Generally, it is permissible for women and men to dye their hair. It is recommended to dye the hair using henna because it is Sunnah. The noble companions would use henna to dye their hair and beard.[1]However, there are certain points which need to be taken into consideration.

1: Permanent hair dye even though it is labelled as “permanent”, is in actual fact not permanent and lasts between 6 to 10 weeks in most cases.[2] It is important to note that the ruling of taghyeer (alteration) – changing one’s natural creation that Allāh Almighty made a person upon does not apply. Taghyeer is a result of permanent change to one’s natural outlook for embellishment to any bodily part either by adding or removing something which is prohibited. If it is temporary beautification then it is not prohibited on the account of taghyeer.[3]

2)In permanent hair dye or any hair dye one must ensure there is no ingredient which leaves a coating on the hair. As water will not be able to pass through the coating therefore wudhu and ghusl will not be complete.[4] Some hair dyes either coat the hair or merely colour the hair only. It is better to verify from the manufacturers or retailers first before purchasing them.

PPD (Paraphenylenediamine) is a key ingredient in permanent hair dyes. It is an oxidative precursor which reacts with agents such as ammonia and hydrogen peroxide in the hair dye. PPD works by entering the hair fibres and reacting with the oxidative agents. This then forms large coloured pigments inside of the hair fibres which provides its permanent colour. PPD does not form a waterproof seal over the hair strands, rather it alters the natural colour of the smaller hair fibres. PPD can be found in many semi-permanent and permanent hair dyes though one must check the label on purchasing as a precaution. However, an individual must remain mindful of the allergic reactions that can be caused by PPD. Temporary and semi-permanent hair dyes, contain colourants that form a layer over the hair strands, merely providing a colour that can be removed after a few weeks of washing. Therefore, they remain waterproof as they prevent water from reaching the hair strands. PPD (permanent hair dyes apart from black) are permissible to use due to not being waterproof. As they colour the natural hair fibres and do not provide a sealant over them.[5]

Another ingredient used in hair dye is Hydrogen peroxide (H202). It works by changing the hair pigment called melanin. Therefore, it does not coat the hair and thus it would be permissible to use.[6]

3) Another point to consider is that the ingredients must be pure. It won’t be permissible to use if it contains any impure ingredient.  If the hair dye contains alcohol extracted from grapes and dates then it is not permissible to use. Alcohol extracted from anything else such as wheat, figs, petrol, chemicals are not considered impure according to Imām Abu Hanifah rahimahullah and Imām Abū Yusuf rahimahullah.[7]

4) One should preferably avoid using hair dyes which contain harmful ingredients. As some hair dyes are known to contain toxic chemicals or to cause hair loss etc.[8]

5) It would be permissible to dye the hair with any other colour with the exception of black.[9]

Sayyidunā Abdullāh Ibn Abbās radhiyallahu anhu relates that the Holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam has said; “There shall come such people towards the end of time where they will colour their hair with black like (the colour of) a pigeon’s chest but they shall not scent the fragrance of paradise.” [10]

To apply black hair-dye with the purpose of deceiving others is prohibited. For adornment purposes, it is better to refrain from as it would be considered makrooh but not Haram.[11]

6) A final point that the type of hair colour chosen should not be done with the intention of imitating those of other faiths.

Sayyidunā Abdullah ibn Umar radhiyallahu anhuma narrates that the Holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam said, “Change the white hair but do not imitate the Jews.”[12]

Menopausal Woman Seeing Blood

1st June 2021

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

Question: If a woman who has reached above the age of fifty and her menses bleeding has stopped for some time, is this considered menopause? She however sees bleeding after a long time but on and off but no regular pattern. Is this bleeding be classed as periods? Finally, is it possible for menstrual bleeding to return during menopause. Kindly provide a detailed answer on the subject

 

الجواب حامداً و مصلياً

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

 

Answer: In reference to the above question, a menopausal woman seeing blood after a long time without any fixed days would usually not be classed as menstruation.[1] The Hanafi jurists have differed as to the exact age that a woman reaches menopause. The age varies between 55-60 and the general fatwa is given on this although there is a view of 50 as well.[2] So in your case, if after the age of 50 her bleeding stopped completely but now experiences unexpected bleeding after many years that is on and off without a fixed habit then this will not be classed as menstruation, as her bleeding had ceased previously.[3]  However. a menopausal woman who experiences bleeding is however a cause for concern and can only occur due to a number of circumstances;

  • Polyps- Growths that develop from the tissue lining the uterus, they may cause both irregular and heavy bleeding.
  • Endrometrial Atrophy- The endrometrium is the inner lining of the uterus, after menopause the lining becomes weaker and thinner as a result of the low hormone levels, this may further cause bleeding.
  • Endrometrial Hyperplasia- Here the uterus lining thickens causing the bleeding. However, in severe cases atypical hyperplasia can occur which the cells lining the uterus become abnormal causing endrometrial cancer. [4]

 

It is advisable for a menopausal woman to consult a medical professional on this matter.
