     7 Habits Blood Women
       
Menstrual age is usually between 12 to 50 years. And possible a woman is already getting your period before age 12 years, or still get your period after the age of 50 years. It all depends on conditions, environment and climate that influence it.
       
The 'ulama, different opinions about whether there are certain restrictionsfor the age of menstruation, in which a woman does not get your period beforeor after that age?
       
Ad Darimi, after mentioning the opinions on the these issues, says: "this is all, in my opinion wrong. For, who becamereference is  the presence of blood. Whatever it is, in conditions however, and at any age, blood shall be convictedas menstrual blood. And only Allah the Most Knowing. "
       
Ad Darimi opinion this is the right and the choice of ShaykhIslam Ibn Taymiyyah. So whenever a woman getting blood menstruation meant she was menstruating, even though she has not reached 9 years or above50. Allah subhanu wata'ala and His Messenger shallahu'alaihi wassalam associate the laws of menstruation in the presence of blood. So the this problem must refer to the presence of blood that has been relied upon law. The restrictions on the problems mentioned above none of the arguments that demonstrate this.
      
2 - period
      
The 'ulama differ in determining the period or duration menstruation. There are about six or seven opinions in this regard.
       
Ibn al-Mundhir said: "There are groups that argue that period has no minimum or limit how many days maximum ".
       
Opinions are like opinions Ad Darimi above and a choice Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah. And that is true based on Al-Qur'an, Sunnah and logic.
       
The first proposition:
       
God's Word subhaanahu wa Ta'aala:
وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْمَحِيضِ قُلْ هُوَ أَذًى فَاعْتَزِلُوا النِّسَاءَ فِي الْمَحِيضِ وَلَا تَقْرَبُوهُنَّ حَتَّى يَطْهُرْنَ فَإِذَا تَطَهَّرْنَ فَأْتُوهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ التَّوَّابِينَ وَيُحِبُّ الْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ ﴿2:222﴾
      
They ask about the monthly course. Say, "It is a state of impurity; so keep apart from women during their monthly course and do not go near them until they are clean.  When they have cleansed themselves, then you may go to them in the manner Allah has enjoined you."(Surah Al Baqarah: 222)
       
In this verse, made in God as the deadline for the ban is chastity, not the passage of day and night, or three days, or fifteen days. This shows that illat (reason) the ruling (prohibition avoids wife) is menstruation, ie the presence or absence. So, if there is menstrual be it legal and if it was pure (no menstruation) is not longer applicable laws menstrual.
       
The second proposition:
       
Narrated in Saheeh Muslim that the Prophet Muhammad shollallohu 'alaihi wa sallam said to Aisha who get menstruation when in a state of Ihram for Umrah:
                  
"‫" افعلي ما یفعل الحاج غير أن لا تطوفي بالبيت حتى تطهري ‬
       
"Do what pilgrims do, just do not perform thawaf in the Kaaba before sacred "(Narrated by Muslim: 4 / 30)
       
Aisha said: "After entering the feast of sacrifice, then I am pure."
       
In Saheeh Al-Bukhari, narrated that the Prophet shollallohu 'alaihi wa sallam said to Aisha:
                                  
"‫" انتظري, فإذا طهرت فاخرجي إلى التنعيم ‬
       
"Wait, if you are sacred, then out into tan'im".
     
In this hadith, the Prophet made shollallohu 'alaihi wa sallam as deadline for the ban is chastity, not a particular period, this shows that the law is related to menstruation, which exists and least.
       
The third proposition:
       
That restrictions and details mentioned the jurists' in these problems do not exist in the Qur'an and Sunnah shollallohu 'alaihi wa sallam, when this issue is important, even very urged to be explained. If these limits and details including those required to be understood by humans and obtained in worship Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, would have been explained clearly by Allah and His messenger to every person, given the importance the resulting laws relating to prayer, fasting, marriage, divorce, inheritance and other laws. As Allah and His Apostle have explained about prayer: the number of its rakaat, time, bowing and prostration; about charity: type property, its nisab, percentage, and who is entitled to receive it; about fasting; time and his time, about the pilgrimage and other issues, even about ethics of eating, drinking, sleeping, Jima '(sexual intercourse), sit down, in and out of the house, to relieve himself, until the total number of stone for the purification of to relieve himself, and contemplates the others either small or large, which is the religion of completeness and perfection blessings. God gave the mu'minin.
      
Word of Allah Ta'ala:
                                          
[‫] ونزلنا عليك الكتاب تبيانا لكل شيء ‬





      
"...... We have sent down to thee the Book (Qur'an) to explain all something (Surah An Nahl: 89)
             
[‫] ما آان حدیثا یفترى ولكن تصدیق الذي بين یدیه وتفصيل آل شيء ‬
      
"... Al-Quran is not a made-up story, butjustify (the books) previously and explains everything ... (QS. Yusuf: 111)
      
Therefore, restrictions and details are not contained inBook of Allah and the Sunnah of the Prophet shollallohu 'alaihi wa sallam, then it is obviousthat it can not be used as a benchmark. However, the actualused as a benchmark is the presence of menstruation, which has been associated withthe laws of Personality 'by the presence or absence of menstruation.
      
This proposition - that a law can not be accepted if there is noin the Book and Sunnah-useful for you in this matter andproblems of other religious sciences, because the law can not syar'iestablished except on the basis of the argument of the book of God syar'i, or SunnahShollallohu Rasulullah 'alaihi wa sallam or scholarly consensus' is known, or qiyasa saheeh.
      
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah in one of the rulesdibahasnya said: "Among the designation that is associated by Godwith various laws in the Book and the Sunnah that is called menstruation. Godnot specify minimum and maximum limits, or the sacred inbetween two menstrual. And people need it and many trialsbefall them because of it. Bahasapun not distinguish between oneconstraints with other constraints. Whoever shall determine arestrictions in this matter, meant he had violated the Book and Sunnah. (Minutes fil allati Asmaa 'allaqa Asy Syaari al ahkaama bihaa, p.: 35)
      
The fourth proposition:
      
Logic or correct qiyas and general nature. Namely, that Godillat explain (reason) menstruation as dirt. So when menstruation wasthere, it means there kotoranpun. There was no difference between the second day with
  
Blood Habits Women 10The first day, the fourth day by the third day. There is also nodifference between day-to sixteen with fifteen days, or dayswith day-to eighteen seventeen. Menstruation is menstruation and dirtis dirt. In the second day there illat same. IfThus, how could distinguish in law between the twothat day, even though they are identical in illat? Did not think that Qiyastrue that the two days are the same in law because of the similarityboth in illat?.
       
Fifth postulate:
       
The existence of difference and disagreement among scholars whoprovide constraints indicate that this problem does not exist in the argumentwhich should be standard. But it is the lawsijtihad can be wrong and can also be true, no one opinionmore worthy than another followed. And is the reference eventdisagreement is the Qur'an and Sunnah.
       
If you find an opinion that states there is no minimum ormaximum period is a strong opinion and a rajih, it is necessaryNote that every time she saw blood natural, not causedor other injury, the blood was menstrual blood means, without consideringperiod or age. Unless the blood discharge continuously without stoppingor pause just like a day or two days a month, thenistihadhah blood is blood. And God willing, will be explained,about istihadhah and its laws.
       
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said: "In principle, eachblood coming out of the womb is menstruation. Unless there is evidenceshowed that the blood was istihadhah. "
       
He also said: "The menstrual blood that comes out is, if notblood is known because of illness or injury. "
       
This opinion, as is the strong opinionbased on the theorem, is also an opinion that most can understandand the more easily understood and applied from the diamalkan andtheir opinions are given ranges. Thus, opinionsthis is what more should be accepted because according to Islamic religious creed,that is easy and simple.
     
God's Word subhaanahu wa Ta'aala:
                                         
[‫] وما جعل عليكم في الدین من حرج ‬
     
"And He (God) never make for you in religiona narrow "(Surat al-Hajj: 78)
  
Blood Habits Women 11
     
Word of the Prophet shollallohu 'alaihi wa sallam:
            
(‫ "إن الدین یسر ولن یشاد الدین أحد إلا غلبه, فسددوا وقاربوا وأبشروا ‬
     
"It's religion (Islam) is easy, and not someone else that complicates(Exaggeration) in his religion unless going unbeaten. So Be straight,simple (not to exceed the limit) and spread the good news "(Narrated by Al Bukhari)
     
And among the morals of Prophet shollallohu 'alaihi wa sallam that if heasked to select two cases, then chooses the easiest as long as nois a sin.
     
3. Menstruation PREGNANT WOMEN
     
In general, a pregnant woman if the state will stopmenstruation (menstruation). Imam Ahmad said may Allaah have mercy: "women canaware of pregnancy with cessation of menstruation ".
     
If the pregnant woman to bleed shortly before delivery (two or three days) with the accompanied pain, then blood waspuerperal blood, but if it occurs well before birth or close tobirth but is not accompanied by pain, the blood was not the blood of childbirth. Ifpuerperal blood instead, does that include menstrual blood which also appliesfor him the laws of menstrual blood is dirty or not legallike the law of menstrual blood? there are differences of opinion among the scholarsin this issue.
     
And the correct opinion, that the blood was menstrual blood if it isoccur in women according to her menstrual period. Because, in principle, bloodcoming out of a woman's uterus during the menstrual blood is no reasonwho rejected him as menstrual blood. And there is no information in the AlQur'an and Sunnah that reject the possibility of occurrence of menstruation inpregnant women.
     
This is the opinion of Imam Malik and As Syafii, also be an optionIbni Taymiyya Shaykh al-Islam. At the mention in the book of Al Ikhtiyar (p. 30):"And declared by al-Bayhaqi according to one history asopinion of Imam Ahmad, and even stated that Imam Ahmad hadreturn to this opinion. "
     
Thus, there was something in pregnant women when menstruating,as what happens to the non-pregnant women, except intwo problems:
     
1. Divorces. Forbidden mentalak (divorce) in non-pregnant womenstate of menstruation, but it is not forbidden to pregnant women. Because
  
Blood Habits Women 12talaq (divorce) in a state of menstruation of the woman who is not pregnantviolates the word of God subhaanahu wa Ta'aala:
                                        
[‫] إذا طلقتم النساء فطلقوهن لعدتهن ‬
     
"... if ye divorce them then let you divorcethem at the time they can be (against) iddahnya (reasonable) (Surah AthThalq: 1)
     
pregnant women as for divorce in a state of menstruation does not infringeGod's word subhaanahu wa Ta'aala. Therefore, pregnant women who divorcemeant when he divorced her in the face of the iddahnya, both in a state of menstruation or sacred, because they are in a period of iddah periodpregnancy. To that end, not prohibited divorce pregnant women, althoug after doing Jima '(intercourse), and different laws with a womannot pregnant.


     
3. Iddah. For pregnant women iddahnya ends atbirth, although once menstruation when pregnant or not. Based on
  word subhaanahu wa Ta'aala:
                                 
[‫
 
 وأولات الأحمال أجلهن أن یضعن حملهن ‬  
"And the women who are pregnant, it is time they iddh until they gave birth abortion "(Surah Ath THALAQ: 4)
