I wanted to know if taqbeere tashreeq is wajib on females or not?
Question:
Asalamualaikum.
I wanted to know if taqbeere tashreeq is wajib on females or not? What about menstruating femles as they have no fardh salaat to offer during this period? If a female in her menses could not fast on the 9th of zil hajj , will she still recieve the reward for that including expiation of sins of past and present year if she had the intentention to fast if she were well?
Answer:
Wa Alaikum As Salaam,
Takbeer At Tashreeq is also Wajib for females.
Since it is essential after the farz Salaah, and menstruating women are not allowed to perform Salaah,, it means that it will not be essential upon them during this period.
If you had a sincere intention to fast on the 9th Zul Hijja, but could not fast due to menses, then you will receive blessings for your good intention. However, you will not receive blessings as having actually observed the fast.
And Allah knows best,
Mufti Waseem Khan.
