Nisaa

By Nisaa

Overview

Nisaa answers the questions Muslim women ask about worship during their period: whether to pray or fast, reciting or touching the Qur'an, entering the mosque, Hajj and Umrah, ghusl, and more. Answers come from Nisaa's library of 58 published answers drawn from classical sources, with the Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali positions set out where they differ. Each answer links to its full page on getnisaa.com. Two calculators: - Missed fasts: how many Ramadan fasts you still owe, the deadline to make them up for your madhab, and what applies if Ramadan has already returned. - After a birth or a loss: whether bleeding is nifas or treated as a period under your madhab, which day you are on, and the longest it can last. Works in English and Arabic. These answers are for study, not a fatwa. Nisaa stores nothing you type: no account, no logs, no personal data.
