Lesson
Mahiiz – (menstruation), mahiiz is that blood
which comes to the women each month. It is also called monthly course and
menses. It is an illness. Other nations of the world have determined it too as
foul blood as well as medical specialists claim that it is detective blood. According to color, smell and
particles this blood is also different from the normal blood. It has extremely fury.
fa’-tazilu- (so let women alone) this word has been derived from ‘A’-tazaal which
means here “remain away from that woman for the process of intercourse with her”.
Reason for
revelation of this verse is that during the times of Last Messenger of God
Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon Him) the worshippers of fire and the Jews used to think impure to eat and
drink foods made by the women during the period of menses at one side. Some
people didn't think legal to keep women in their houses during this period.
Hindus still don’t eat things made by them during menstruation. On the other
side Christians didn't use to avoid intercourse during these days.
Companions (God Almighty may be agreed
upon them) asked Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) about
this matter. Prophet (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) called it worse
inflation and deflation and said neither too much hatred is needed not to let the
woman remain in their houses and think as impure meal made by their hands, nor
should be so much negligence that not to avoid from intercourse but straight
way is that avoid from the process of intercourse in this condition and in
addition eating, drinking and living together is lawful.
Holy Qur’an is a perfect Code for
life. It gives advises and orders in all the departments of life which belong
to human being and naturally in it mankind not only eats, drinks and sleeps with
one another (husband and wife) but their sexual appetite, desire of having children and desire to make special
connections are also produced. So Holy Qur’an gives proper orders for them.
Other nations selected
exaggerated way. Holy Qur’an told that during this period just sexual contact is
prohibited. Other things like sitting and standing, eating and drinking do not
have any connection with it. These all acts are lawful.
Azaa – (illness) Holy Qur’an called the menstruation as impureness.
Its other meanings are pain and trouble. It is possible that because of that
pain and trouble, the intercourse is forbidden in these days. Today medically
it is proved that in these days connection can be reason of different diseases.
Doctors also prevent from it.
