I have a boil under my arm.....

I have a boil under my arm. If I remain as normal, the blood does not ooze out of the boil. However, if I lift my arm up, I don’t know how come, but somehow this is a means of pressure being applied to the boil and thus the blood flows out. Likewise, if I do strenuous work, which involves the moving about of my arms, the blood oozes. I know the Masla that if you have a boil or wound and if you squeeze it and blood flows out then you must think to yourself that had you not squeezed it then blood would not have come out then in that case your Wuzu won’t break, so my question is can i regard the lifting up of my arm and my doing of strenuous work to be in place of squeezing? In other words, if I lift my arm up and blood flows out, I won’t regard my Wuzu to be broken because I know that force was applied to the boil and that why blood came out. Am I correct?? This same thing happened last night, so i didn’t renew my Wuzu, and in that condition i lead the congregation in Tarawih and Witr prayer.

JazakAllah
Wassalaam

We acknowledge receipt of your query and our response follows hereunder:

If a pimple (which is in your case a boil) bursts and the blood flows out onto the skin, the Wudhu will be nullified and you will have to renew the Wudhu ^[1]. Hence by you not renewing your Wudhu, neither the Taraweeh nor the Witr were correct.

In that case you will have to inform the Muqtadis to make Qadha (substitute) of their Witr on that particular day by elucidating the cause. As for the Taraweeh there is no Qadha.

He who trims his beard is an open Faasiq and should not lead Salaah, however if ones perform Salaah behind such Faasiq, his Salaah will be valid with karaahat.

If one has had an abortion and truly regrets.....

Question:-

 If one has had an abortion and truly regrets this and wants to expiate the sin, from when are the 120 days calculated of the fetus, do you rely on the dating scan? If so what is the expiation required?

Thank you.

We acknowledge receipt of your query and our response follows hereunder:

Nothing compared to Allah’s encompassing mercy, the door to repentance is wide open, and Allah Ta’ala showers His sinful servants who turn penitent to Him, with His Forgiveness.

It is never too late for a true Muslim to repent to Allah, and to shed tears for the wrong doing he has committed, keeping in mind that if one manages to escape the punishment of this world, he/she will not for sure escape the punishment of Allah Ta’ala in the Hereafter.

Allah Ta’ala says: "Say: 'O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Don’t despair of Allah’s mercy: for Allah forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (Az-Zumar Ayah53)

Moreover He also says: "Allah accepts the repentance of those who do evil in ignorance and repent soon afterwards; to them will Allah turn in mercy: For Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom." (An-Nisaa Ayah 17)

Coming back to your query, the answer is that 120 days of the foetus will be counted from the day of conception, however it is to be stated that Islam forbids abortion in all stages of pregnancy.  

Allah Ta’ala Knows Best.
