Q&A: Is it Permissible for a Menstruating Woman to Read Qur’an from the Internet or a Mobile Phone?

Question: Assalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatuhu, I would like to inquire about the Shariah rule because I am confused…  Is it permissible for the menstruating woman to read Quran from the internet or a mobile phone? I would like an answer. Wa Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah From  Raheeq Em Yousif Answer: Wa Alaikum us Salaam Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakaatuhu, To answer the question three points must be made clear: Reciting of the Quran orally i.e. not from the Mushaf, the touching of the Mushaf and reading Quran from it, and the carrying of laptops or mobile phones that contain Quran application and reading from it. 1 –  As for the rule of reciting Quran orally by the menstruating woman , it is an issue of dispute between scholars, some say it is forbidden while others allow it, and my outweighed opinion on the issue is that the oral recitation of the Quran by the menstruating woman is forbidden.

Q&A: The Wrong Judgment in “Khilaf Al Awla”

Question: As-Salaam Alaikum Is the Prophet’s ﷺ wrongful judgment over what constitutes priorities in small matters ( Khilaf Al Awla ) considered as Ijtihad or is it another matter? Please clarify this. May Allah bless you and guide you in the straight path granting you victory. From Numan Abo Ali Answer: Wa Alaikum us Salaam Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakaatuhu You may be referring to what is mentioned in the book  al-Shakhsiyya al-Islamiyya  Vol.1.  that ‘It is not proper to describe the Messenger ﷺ as a Mujtahid but it is allowed for him to make a wrongful judgment over what constitutes priorities in small matters (khilaf  Al Awla)’, and this is what prompted you to ask about the difference between Ijtihad and  Khilaf Al Awla . To answer this, it is vital to know the reality of Ijtihad and the reality of Khilaf Al Awla. First: Linguistically,  ijtihad  it means “exerting utmost effort” ( istifragh al-wus`i ) to realise and obtain something leading to inconvenience

Q&A: What is Bid’a and what is its Punishment?

Question: Assalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakaatuhu, I request from the Ameer to answer my question as it is very important. What is Bid’a and what is its punishment? And what is the difference between Bid’a and “one who initiates a good practice”? And is the inaction of the Prophet ﷺ in a matter considered as a Shariah evidence that is valid and can be referred to? We regularly discuss with some groups and they describe some matters as Bid’ah which are not performed by the Prophet ﷺ. This question is very important, Barak Allah in you. Please clarify this and provide examples in the answer to help us in getting a better understanding. From Radwan Yusuf Answer: Wa Alaikum Assalaam Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakaatuhu, We previously issued an answer to the question regarding the subject of Bid’a on 18/9/2009, and we published an answer to a question of one of the brothers on Facebook regarding Bid’a on 6/6/2015 that you can refer to, but I will summarize for you that is
