A Woman Requests a Khula' from the Husband then Finds Out that She is Pregnant

A Woman Requests a Khula' from the Husband then Finds Out that She is Pregnant

Sh. Alī Ar-Ramlī حفظه الله

Question: May Allāh bless you, O our Shaykh. We have a question,  if you will. A woman sought a Khula' from her husband and the husband granted it. However, after a week the woman found out that she was pregnant. What is upon them and what is the ruling on their marriage?

Answer: The Khula' is correct and the affair is over. She is pregnant now so it is not permissible for her to marry until she gives birth to the child. This is all that is required from her.
Once she gives birth she can marry. As for the Khula', it is sound and the affair has ended.

Zakaatul-Fitr for the Embryo

Zakaatul-Fitr for the Embryo

A question posed to The Noble Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen:

Question: Is Zakaatul-Fitr to be paid on behalf of the embryo?

Answer: Zakaatul-Fitr is not to be paid on behalf of the embryo in the womb as an obligation. It is only to be paid as a recommendation.”

Breastfeeding a Child While Pregnant

Question: I have a 14 month old child who is still breastfed and I am also 3 months pregnant. Some sisters keep telling me that I should stop doing this as they have read in the Qur'aan that it is harmful to my baby. What is your opinion?

Answer: As for the woman while she is pregnant, there is no harm upon her if she wants to breastfeed the other baby. As for the woman who told her that it is not permissible for her to do so, then she should be asked to speak with knowledge, to speak while she has knowledge of what she says, and to present the evidences. To speak without knowledge and without giving evidences is a mistake and it is wrong. There is nothing wrong with this woman breastfeeding her 14 month old baby while she is pregnant. There is nothing against her, and Allaah knows best.

Praying following a Miscarriage

Praying following a Miscarriage

Explained by Shaykh Fawzan

Questioner: The questioner says: A woman had a miscarriage after about two months and ten days. Should she pray her prayers or should she refrain from praying?

Shaykh Fawzan: Two months and how long?

Questioner: She said, and ten days.

Shaykh Fawzan: Meaning seventy days. No, she does not stop praying. This blood is from hemorrhaging and it is not post child birth bleeding. Post child birth bleeding began at eighty-one days; when the pregnancy reaches the third set of forty days, when his bones differentiate during the stages of the embryo. If the miscarriage occurs at eighty-one days, meaning the beginning of the third set of forty days and blood comes after this then this is post child birth bleeding. Therefore due to this (bleeding) she leaves off prayer and fasting for a period of forty days until the bleeding stops. As for before eighty-one days, during the second set of forty days then this blood is not considered post child birth bleeding, rather it is consider hemorrhaging. She will not leave off the prayer or fasting due to this blood.
