peace,
Well, those two points you've brought up also use the same root THR, as we have been discussing.
Thus, you will only have a point if you tell us what THR means to you in these occurrences, so we can see if it makes sense or not.
Peace
Well going by the definition of it meaning pure, it would mean to me that ablution can purify a woman who is menstruating, I don't see why it could not unless someone has something to add about why it could not.
-
peace,
I dont understand what you're saying. Can you provide us with the verses you are referring to and insert your understanding in them.
Thanks.

If ye are in a state of ceremonial impurity, bathe your whole body. But if ye are ill, or on a journey, or one of you cometh from offices of nature, or ye have been in contact with women, and ye find no water, then take for yourselves clean sand or earth, and rub therewith your faces and hands, Allah doth not wish to place you in a difficulty, but to make you clean, and to complete his favour to you, that ye may be grateful.
Pickthal O ye who believe! When ye rise up for prayer, wash you faces, and your hands up to the elbows, and lightly rub your heads and (wash) your feet up to the ankles. And if ye are unclean, purify yourselves. And if ye are sick or on a journey, or one of you cometh from the closet, or ye have had contact with women, and ye find not water, then go to clean, high ground and rub your faces and your hands with some of it. Allah would not place a burden on you, but He would purify you and would perfect His grace upon you, that ye may give thanks.
Arberry O believers, when you stand up to pray wash your faces, and your hands up to the elbows, and wipe your heads, and your feet up to the ankles. If you are defiled, purify yourselves; but if you are sick or on a journey, or if any of you comes from the privy, or you have touched women, and you can find no water, then have recourse to wholesome dust and wipe your faces and your hands with it. God does not desire to make any impediment for you; but He desires to purify you, and that He may complete His blessing upon you; haply you will be thankful.
Shakir O you who believe! when you rise up to prayer, wash your faces and your hands as far as the elbows, and wipe your heads and your feet to the ankles; and if you are under an obligation to perform a total ablution, then wash (yourselves) and if you are sick or on a journey, or one of you come from the privy, or you have touched the women, and you cannot find water, betake yourselves to pure earth and wipe your faces and your hands therewith, Allah does not desire to put on you any difficulty, but He wishes to purify you and that He may complete His favor on you, so that you may be grateful.
Sarwar It is unlawful for you to consume the following as food an animal that has not been properly slaughtered, blood, pork, an animal slaughtered and consecrated in the name of someone other than God, an animal killed by strangulation or a violent blow, an animal killed by falling down, an animal which has been gored to death, an animal partly eaten by a wild beast before being properly slaughtered, an animal which has been sacrificed on the stone blocks (which pagans worshipped), and any flesh divided by casting superstitious and gambling arrows (a pagan tradition), which is a sin. Today, the unbelievers have lost hope about your religion. Do not be afraid of them but have fear of Me. On this day I have perfected your religion, completed My favors to you, and have chosen Islam as your religion. If anyone not (normally) inclined to sin is forced by hunger to eat unlawful substances instead of proper food, he may do so to spare his life. God is All-forgiving and All-merciful.
Khalifa O you who believe, when you observe the Contact Prayers (Salat), you shall (1) wash your faces, (2) wash your arms to the elbows, (3) wipe your heads, and (4) wash your feet to the ankles. If you were unclean due to sexual orgasm, you shall bathe. If you are ill, or traveling, or had any digestive excretion (urinary, fecal, or gas), or had (sexual) contact with the women, and you cannot find water, you shall observe the dry ablution (Tayammum) by touching clean dry soil, then rubbing your faces and hands. GOD does not wish to make the religion difficult for you; He wishes to cleanse you and to perfect His blessing upon you, that you may be appreciative.
Hilali/Khan O you who believe! When you intend to offer As-Salat (the prayer), wash your faces and your hands (forearms) up to the elbows, rub (by passing wet hands over) your heads, and (wash) your feet up to ankles. If you are in a state of Janaba (i.e. had a sexual discharge), purify yourself (bathe your whole body). But if you are ill or on a journey or any of you comes from answering the call of nature, or you have been in contact with women (i.e. sexual intercourse) and you find no water, then perform Tayammum with clean earth and rub therewith your faces and hands. Allah does not want to place you in difficulty, but He wants to purify you, and to complete His Favour on you that you may be thankful.
H/K/Saheeh O you who have believed, when you rise to prayer, wash your faces and your forearms to the elbows and wipe over your heads and wash your feet to the ankles. And if you are in a state of janabah, then purify yourselves. But if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of relieving himself or you have contacted women and do not find water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and hands with it. Allah does not intend to make difficulty for you, but He intends to purify you and complete His favor upon you that you may be grateful.
Malik O believers! When you rise up for Salah (prayer), wash your faces and your hands as far as the elbows, wipe your heads with wet hands and wash your feet to the ankles. If you had an emission of semen, then take a full bath. However, if you are sick or on a journey or you have used the toilet or you had intercourse with your women (your wives) and you do not find any water then resort to Tayammum - find clean soil and rub your faces and hands with it. Allah does not wish to burden you; He only wishes to purify you and to perfect His favor upon you, so that you may be thankful.
QXP O You who have chosen to be graced with belief! When you congregate for Salat, wash your faces and your forearms, hands to the elbows. Lightly rub you heads and your feet to the ankles. If you are in a state of ceremonial impurity, bathe your whole body. But, if you are ill or traveling, or coming from the privy, or are in a state of ceremonial impurity and find no water, then take clean sand or earth and lightly rub your faces and hands. (This will help you prepare mentally for congregational prayer (443)). Allah does not wish to place upon you any difficulty, but to make you clean and to perfect His blessings upon you, that you be grateful.
Maulana Ali O you who believe, when you rise up for prayer, wash your faces, and your hands up to the elbows, and wipe your heads, and (wash) your feet up to the ankles. And if you are under an obligation, then wash (yourselves). And if you are sick or on a journey, or one of you comes from the privy, or you have had contact with women and you cannot find water, betake yourselves to pure earth and wipe your faces and your hands therewith.

Free Minds O you who believe, if you rise to attend the contact-method, then wash your faces and your hands up to the elbows, and wipe your heads and your feet to the ankles; and if you have had intercourse, then you shall bathe.

God does not want to make any hardship over you, but He wants to cleanse you and to complete His blessings upon you that you may be appreciative.
Qaribullah Believers, when you rise to pray wash your faces and your hands as far as the elbow, and wipe your heads and (wash) your feet to the ankle. If you are in a state of impurity, cleanse yourselves. But if you are sick or traveling, or, if when you have just relieved yourselves or had intercourse with women and you cannot find water, touch the clean surface of the earth and rub your hands and faces with it. Allah does not wish to burden you, He seeks only to purify you and to complete His Favor to you in order that you may thank.George Sale O true believers, when ye prepare your selves to pray, wash your faces, and your hands unto the elbows; and rub your heads, and your feet unto the ancles; and if ye be polluted by having lain with a woman, wash your selves all over. But if ye be sick, or on a journey, or any of you cometh from the privy, or if ye have touched women, and ye find no water, take fine clean sand, and rub your faces and your hands therewith; God would not put a difficulty upon you; but he desireth to purify you, and to complete his favour upon you, that ye may give thanks.
JM Rodwell O Believers! when ye address yourselves to prayer, wash your faces, and your hands up to the elbow, and wipe your heads, and your feet to the ankles. And if ye have become unclean, then purify yourselves. But if ye are sick, or on a journey, or if one of yAsad O YOU who have attained to faith! When you are about to pray, wash your face, and your hands and arms up to the elbows, and pass your hands lightly over your head, and your feet up to the ankles. And if you are in a state. requiring total Y ablution, purify yourselves." But if you are ill, or are travelling, or have just satisfied a want of nature, or have cohabited with a woman, and can find no water-then take resort to pure dust, passing therewith lightly over your face and your hands. God does not want to impose any hardship on you, but wants to make you pure, and to bestow upon you the full measure of His blessings, so that you might have cause to be grateful.
My understanding is that this verse is saying that Allah wants to make you pure, not impose hardship on you. Going by the point you brought up, how could it mean clean if it says to use pure/good dust if you don't have water? Unless soil has some cleaning properties.

Peace, AK85
No offense, but I think you need to chill, bro. peace
Even if I was from a traditional background, I have repudiated it by coming to this site and seeking advice from people on this site. Why would I ask about what methods to kill an animal if it isn't apparently listed in the Qu'ran, if I came from a traditional background where I would follow Dhabiba? There appears to be no thought process in you for not being able to figure that out. If I wanted the perspective of hadithists on this verse, I would have gone to sunnipath or some other site. I'm sorry that it wasn't your intention to cause offense, but it did offend me, because I don't believe in all the things you listed, like you will die if you have sex with menstruating women, your hand will turn into dust if you touch them and stuff like that, satan will take over you if you go near their physical proximity etc.
I noticed in some of your replies in this thread that you seem to take many things personally. I did not have the impression that anyone was suggesting or assuming you are in need of basic level sex education, or that you cling to any of the superstitions Ayisha mentioned.
The way I understood it was that she brought up those examples because she wanted to express her irritation about such superstitions -- not because she assumed that YOU believe any of those things. It is the nature of such discussions that people sometimes bring up points that they feel are somehow related to the subject, even if they are not in direct reference to the original question or subject.

Peace
The first sentence stated a lack of thought on my part before she gave her condemnation of the superstitions. That is one of the things I took offense to. To my understanding, that was directed at me not something being stated in general. Also she says quite clearly it is needed because of the superstitions people believe. Well that is PEOPLE not me, the reason I am here is to learn what the Qu'ran and ONLY the Qu'ran says about things, not people's additions such as their pontification about whether women should be locked up or not etc. Like I said, if I was interested in these people's extralegal opinions and held them as valid and worth subscribing to, I would not come to this site.
When I thought it meant do not approach them along with do not have sex with them, I thought it meant because of their change in behaviour when they are menstruating not because I will get some kind of disease or something.
I said "withdraw from them" is good advice, not "lock them up" is good advice. And anyways, I changed my mind after re reading and don't believe withdrawing from outside of sexually withdrawing from them is a good idea any more.

Ayisha lives in a part of Egypt where many people are illiterate and cling to strange and outdated superstitions and beliefs, such as the ones she mentioned, or female circumcision etc. I don't think she is putting you into one category with those people at all.

peace ak85,
Thanks for clarifying, however, what you said in replies #32 and #34 seem different to me. There is no problem in changing your view etc but IF you have it would make it easier for me if you actually stated this so I know.
If you have not changed your view, then I can only assume you think in 2222 THR could refer to a physical cleaning, e.g. ablution, and in 5679 and 56 it is not referring to physical cleaning. -
Peace AK
AK Wait by the way I was never asking about the details of the situation requiring a woman to be locked up or whatever. I was never even asking if we should lock them up or suggesting they should be locked up. What do you mean by which appears to be without thought? Why and how could I ask questions if there was no thought process involved?
You had not finished the thought process
AK I just thought maybe we should leave them alone not lock them up or anything, but like I said now with my improved understanding, I've realized that this is not only not necessary but might make the woman even more resentful, us men should just accept it as a fact of life and try to put up with, just like we would put up with a miserable person going through any other kind of sickness
Above your thought process is still continuing, you are still thinking.
AK By the way, I am familiar with grade school sex education, I didn't need to be reminded of the importance of menstruation. Please don't address these kind of things towards me in the future.
And how am I to know what grade school education you, or anyone else here, has had? Where I come from there is no such thing as 'grade school' and where others come from there may not be too. YOU may be educated about womens bodies but not everyone reading this will be.

Once again, I have a basic grade school knowledge of sex education and I don't think menstruation is satanic or evil or that we will die if we go near them or have sex with them. (Even though the verse is saying we shouldn't, I don't doubt The Creator's knowledge of His creatures, something may happen if we do have sex with menstruating women, what I have no idea)
When I thought it meant do not approach them along with do not have sex with them, I thought it meant because of their change in behaviour when they are menstruating not because I will get some kind of disease or something. Apparently I didn't clarify that enough for you, but someone else seems to have understood.
Even in your posts above you are still thinking.
AK I was very clear that my post was not in any way meant to offend you, you chose to take offense. I did not say your hand will turn to dust if you touch them or that Satan will take over you, but it is clear you DO think 'something will happen' if you have sex with a menstruating woman.
At the time I posted my first reply, with the sarcasm you thought unnecessary, it was not clear what your thought was nor that you had thought it through, which you had not and are still doing. As you went on people started to understand better but some even still had to ask for clarification.

I did not direct those superstitions to you and that IS clear from my post, maybe if you re-read that too you will see.
I AM talking about Quran and what some people see in Quran. When learning it is a good idea to learn about all sides of a subject and from inside out and back to front, that sometimes involves looking at how other people take things. The breastfeeding fatwa is a prime example where 'scholars' have taken that a breastfed child is mahram even one you have not given birth to, and their lack of thought and education has decided a woman can breasfeed her colleagues so she can work with them. Their lack of education and lack of thought has not got to the level of your grade school and they have no idea that to breasfeed one must have actually had a child recently and therefore be a married woman with a child, they also have no idea or thought how ridiculous this is, BUT it is in Quran = they did not give proper thought NOR did they take Quran as a whole and look at the implications of this.
To make extra clear here, I am NOT saying you believe this, I am marely using this as an example.
As Leyna has already stated I live in an area of Egypt where these cultural superstitions are real. Egypt is an Islamic country, Al Azhar in Cairo is the main place in the world to learn Islam but I live in Upper Egypt where FGM is still at 90+% and women are not allowed in the majority of mosques AT ANY TIME, not just when menstruating. Women are second class citizens because according to them, Quran says so! For these here it will take centuries of education - which women only recently have been entitled to - to get them up to half your grade school level of education and get rid of the cultural habits that ARE seen as part of Islam. To learn Islam you HAVE to learn what Islamic countries are following as Islam and WHY. If there is going to be any sort of 'reform' and getting back to what God actually said or meant it HAS to start affecting these countries and SOON.
Again I will say this is NOT meant to offend anyone, least of all you AK. You are obviously an educated man and there is nothing wrong in throwing a thought into the ring, but you have to stop taking MY replies as personal digs at you. I have NOTHING at all against you, and please stop telling me where I can post and on what subject, I will reply what I think is necessary and where I think is necessary, and when I see that thought has not been finished or even got off the runway I may reply with sarcasm so you know to get off the runway first with your thought.

I really don't mind where and what you post, I just feel it is my right to say when something offends me. Once again, withdraw from them...is not implying lock them up. Withdraw from them means US withdraw from THEM not make THEM withdraw from US by locking THEM UP. Even with my beginning understanding, this is not what I meant. THAT what was my thought process.

If you have not changed your view, then I can only assume you think in 2222 THR could refer to a physical cleaning, e.g. ablution, and in 5679 and 56 it is not referring to physical cleaning.Well the difficulty is that I think in 5679 and 56 I think it definitely means pure. However I have question, in 56 when it says and if you were impure/unclean then become clean, can this refer to menstruation as well or is strictly orgasm? In that case it could mean clean as well instead of purify, I think the word can mean both according to the context right or no?
-
If you are wondering what the word could refer to, what method are you using to determine if it does or not?
A simple way would be to locate the Arabic word you refer to (I assume it is "junub", then investigate it further, e.g. look up its occurrences and Lane's Lexicon entry

Well from what I see in the first link, they mostly seem to refer to a direction or location except for two instances where they refer to impure and ceremonial impurity.
junuban (ا noun (2)
accusative masculine singular indefinite noun ( ب- (44314) ... (when you are) impure ...
- (5620) ... (in) a state of ceremonial impurity ...
Can this ceremonial impurity refer to both after having an orgasm, and after menstruating. So when a woman is menstruating, before salaat (assuming they only menstruate once a day, I have no knowledge or education on how many times this occurs in a day) she must purify/clean herself as if she had an orgasm if ceremonial impurity can mean both? Since 2222 says and after they have been purified, you may have sex with them, I am assuming it means they are in ceremonial impurity when they are menstruating. And thus she can still perform salaat even though she is in her menstrual period as long as she purifies/cleans herself after each instance and before performing this salaat?
Also another question, when it says in 56 and if you touched/felt repeatedly (I don't know how you can feel a woman repeatedly outside sex, you'd probably get slapped lol) a woman, can this refer to both sexes? As in vice versa, if a woman felt/touched a man repeatedly that is?

Peace, AK85

I don't really understand this statement. How would it be possible to "only menstruate once a day", or "several times a day"? Menstruation is a process that goes on continuously for several days.
confused
Can you clarify? -
Peace AK85
Cleanliness and uncleanness in the Quran is not what we perceive?I wouldn?t want to go deep down to discuss it ?? I only quote the following verse and leave it to you to decide what THR really means in the Quran be it in 2222 or elsewhere??..355 is a very good example to grasp the meaning of it.
Thus, GOD said, "O Jesus, I am terminating your life, raising you to Me, and ridding you(muthahheruka) of the disbelievers. I will exalt those who follow you above those who disbelieve, till the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is the ultimate destiny of all of you, then I will judge among you regarding your disputes

Simply said, when a woman is menstruating, she is losing blood continuously.
Now this might sound as if she is losing a lot of blood, but that is not the case. It depends on the individual, but the average blood loss during menstruation is supposed to be 35 millilitres with 10-80 millilitres being considered normal. -

She is not losing blood contiuously, in fact she is discharging/draining out-removing away the disintegrated/collapsed spread lining/endometrium-one of three layers of her uterus . It is why women are called the Subject/Doer of the Verb .
