Summarized Fatawaa

• What should a woman who delayed making up for missed fast, due to menstruation, till the start of the next Ramadhaan ?
Whosoever broke fasting in Ramadhaan, and was able to make up for it, but didn`t until the next Ramadhaan started, is obliged to make up for the missed days, and to pay the ransom as well. However, if he/she wasn`t able to before next Ramadhaan due to an excuse, then he/she should only make up for the missed days .

• How is the Zakah(obligatory charity) on articles of merchandise calculated?

• Is it a condition that one should offer two sacrifices for a male newborn?
It is desirable to offer two sheep for a male newborn, and one for a female newborn. Offering one sheep for the male newborn is also permissible as it observes the Prophet`s Sunnah in this regard.

• Is it permissible for a woman in her menstrual period to recite from the Mus-haf( copy of the Quran ), or to recite by heart?
A menstruating woman is permitted neither to recite nor to touch the Quran according to what Ali Bin Abi Talib(May Allah be pleased with him) reported about the Prophet(PBUH) who was only held from reciting the Holy Quran by Janabah( Major impurity){Narrated by Al-Tirmizi in a sound Hadith}. Although Janabah and menstruation are major impurities, a menstruating woman is permitted to supplicate Allah(Duaa`) and make Zikr( Tasbihat ), even if these involved saying words from the Holy Quran, provided that she does not mean the words for themselves but as a supplication, or Zikr. Moreover, she is rewarded for not reciting the Quran during her menstrual period because she abided by the injunctions of Allah.
