Menopause
Any bleeding occurring during HRT treatment is considered as a nuisance
to prayer activities. As a matter of fact, bleeding of this sort is
different from the bleeding caused by menstruation. During menstruation
prayer is not justifiable, while bleeding caused by HRT use can be
justified while performing prayer. The following is written by Professor
Hassan Hathout . The word menopause literally means cessation of the
menstrual function, and is only a single incident along a broader
complex of changes as the woman grows older referred to as the
climacteric, which spans perhaps several years. As normal menstrual
function is the expression of cyclic hormonal changes associated with
ovulation, it follows that the menopause usually heralds cessation of
the reproductive function. The human female is almost unique amongst
mammals in that her reproductive life does not continue all through her
biological life, and it is not uncommon for women to have more than one
third of their lives after the menopause. Perhaps God's wisdom saw that
woman's life should not be totally occupied with reproduction. Women who
are post menopause do not have to cover themselves and quote:
"Such elderly women as are past the prospect of marriage, there is no
blame on them if they lay aside their (outer) garments provided they
make not a wanton display of their beauty: but it is best for them to be
modest, and God is One who sees and knows all things." (24:60)
In communities where strong family ties still exist, it is a highly
regarded value to extend tender loving care to an old parent. The case
is not so in many societies, and aging has to be endured either in the
prison of individual loneliness or of the old peoples home. With thanks
to Sajida Adam for pointing us in the right direction.
