Concerning the Clarification that the one who practices her religion should never be embarrassed to ask about the Deen

From ‘Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her) who said that Asmaa’ (may Allah be pleased with her) asked the Prophet (may the peace & blessings of Allah be upon him) about the method of bathing after menstruation?

He said: ((She should begin by taking water mixed with lotus leaves then she washes herself and attentively does the required acts of purification. Then she pours the water over herself. After this she takes cotton dabbled in Musk and purifies her private area with it.))

Asmaa’ (may Allah be pleased with her) then asked, “How does she purify her private part with it (the Musk)?” He (may the peace & blessings of Allah be upon him): ((Glorified is Allah, you cleanse yourself with it!))

‘Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said in a low tone that it should be applied to the traces of blood (the private part) so then she asked him about the method of bathing after having had sexual intercourse?”

He said (may the peace & blessings of Allah be upon him): ((You take water and attentively do all the required acts of purification. Complete the purification and then pour water over your head and rub it until all of the areas of the head have been washed. Then pour the water over it once more.))

‘Aaishah said, “How excellent are the Women of the Ansaar! They do not allow shyness or embarrassment prevent them from trying to understand the religion.”

Asalamualaykum

Sorry to bother you but I want to buy lote trees leaves to use on someone who has had sihar done on them. Are these lotus leaves mentioned the same ones and are they called sidra in arabic and do you know if they are available to buy in Riyadh?

May Allah reward you for your efforts please don't stop translating!

Wa alaykum salaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh,

Yes, this is the same. You can buy it in the Aswaaq throughout Riyadh. Try Sooq Tayyibah or Sooq Uways in 'Olayaa first.

May Allah bless you. Please make Duaa for me.
