Question:
Assalamu’alaikum,
Thank you so much for answering my questions. I have heard the importance of performing ibadah in 40 days. Regarding us women who are still having period for a week or so every month, how do the 40 days calculation goes?
I remember Maulana Shaykh Nazim said about reciting Bismillah for 1000 x after Fajr for 40 days, one shall receive fountain of knowledge. So, how 40 days of discipline applied for us women? Many thanks indeed.
Salamu’alaykum
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
Begin when the period stops and take a shower. Stop when it begins. This will be 21 days. For women it is enough.
