N’imah’s goal is to connect with Muslimaat who love Allah and His Messenger ﷺ to nurture and further this love through fiqh, seerah, talks, inspirations, and miscellanea.

I was very excited to do this talk (recorded) with Sr.Sumayya of ‘And She Thrived’ which is a platform for divorced Muslim women. I guarantee you, you will hear concepts and hadith you have never heard before 
Not because only I am the only one who knows them, but because the Shuyukh don’t talk/concentrate on these points, but which I feel are so enriching to the Muslim woman’s experience.
This is a precursor into my upcoming course, Revival, a Life Skills Course for Muslim Women. Check it out!

Q & A
These questions, unless otherwise noted, have been answered by
Ustadha Shaista Maqbool
Yes, it is the same as a regular wudu. It is a sunnah (and not a requirement) to repeat the limbs of wudu in ghusl as it is required that one gets the entire outer body wet during ghusl.
If the following conditions are met, s/he is given a name, a ghusl, shrouded and prayed upon, as well as given the rights of inheritance:
– During/after birth there is presence of any signs of life, e.g: movement seen or vocal sounds heard during/after delivery (note: sounds or movements in the womb are not considered).
– If most of the body including the chest, assuming not a breech baby, was delivered.
– If at least all of the body, up to the navel was delivered, if born feet first (breech position.)
If, at birth there are no signs of life (as described above) but some human features are apparent, a ghusl is performed (per the preferred opinion) and the baby is wrapped in a cloth and buried. The baby is not prayed upon. The same rulings apply for a stillbirth.
If she has her own means of support, then no. If she needs support, then it would be obligatory on her awliyaa – her caretakers, who include her father, son, brother, uncle and so on. This is irrespective of whether her husband was able to provide for her or not during the marriage.
No. If they possess the zakatable amount (Niṣāb) in any wealth that is potentially zakatable, they are not eligible for zakah.
No, once the congregation is missed, there is no more Eid prayer.
If the person is considered to be holding the baby then the prayer would be invalidated, assuming the baby had najasah (filth) on them.
