URGENSI MEMAHAMI DARAH KEWANITAAN DAN CARA MENSUCIKANYA DALAM ISLAM

Abstract

Darah kewanitaan, meliputi haid, nifas, dan istihadhah, Feminine blood, including menstruation, postpartum and istihadhah, is an important issue in the study of Islamic jurisprudence which is directly related to aspects of worship and the daily life of a Muslim woman. A correct understanding of the types of female blood and procedures for purifying it is an urgent matter so that a woman can carry out sharia obligations appropriately, such as prayer, fasting and other acts of worship. This research aims to examine the urgency of understanding feminine blood based on the arguments of the Koran, hadith, as well as the opinions of classical and contemporary fiqh scholars, as well as explaining the practice of self-purification in accordance with Islamic guidance. The method used is a literature study with a descriptive-analytical approach. The results of the study show that misunderstanding of feminine blood often leads to confusion and errors in determining a woman's religious status. With good understanding, a Muslim woman can differentiate between blood that invalidates worship and that which does not, and carry out the thaharah (self-purification) process correctly. Thus, this understanding not only has an impact on the perfection of worship, but is also part of strengthening the spirituality, health and honor of a Muslim woman.
