Fiqh of Menstruation
Course Description:
This is a four-week course on the essential rulings of menstruation and abnormal bleeding. Essential obligatory (fard ‘ayn) knowledge for all women, this is a special opportunity to be taught by a female certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist with sound Islamic teaching. The course will help understand the different types of fluids/bleeding and calculate a full cycle of menses and purity with worked examples.
