Fiqh of Menstruation
The rulings in this course, taught by Alimah Umm Zubair, have been taken from Hanafi fatwa sources such as ‘Allamah ibn Abidin al-Shami’s chapter on menstruation in Radd al-Muhtar, his commentary on Birgivi’s Dhukhrul Muta’h-hilīn, and the chapter on menstruation from Tatarkhaniya. All the rulings have been condensed and simplified for a lay audience. This course is suitable for the beginner as we begin with the basics and move systematically by only building upon the lessons learned in the previous session. The student will be expected to review previous lessons to keep up with the current lesson.
