Woman . Marriage . Sexual . Mut'a (Temporary marriage)

I am a married woman with a very high sex drive whereby I am not fully satisfied with my husband even though we are sexually active. Is it permissible for me to do Mutah whilst being married?

Not at all. It is impossible for a married woman to even think about any sexual matter with any one apart from her husband.

Mut'ah is a type of marriage. As it is impossible for a married woman to marry another man while she is already married, it is impossible for her to do Mut'ah while is she is married.

You might need to consult a lady doctor for a medical advice to control your very high sex drive. It is always good to discuss such matters with your husband.

Bismihi ta'ala

In Islam, masturbating is haram. If the woman is married, it is her husband's duty to satisfy his wife's sexual needs. It is very oppressive and selfish if he does not. We have numerous hadiths that mention this as well.

If, for whatever reason, the husband is not fulfilling his duty and catering to her rights, it does not give her permission to do haram, and she must address this with her husband, or find other solutions.

And Allah knows best.

Skin . Woman . Dermatologist

As a male I wish to see a dermatologist for my skin problem. I have an option between a male and female one. Do I have to see the male doctor only or is it permissible to go to the female one if she is more skilled?

Bismihi ta'ala

If there will be physical contact, without gloves, and you do have an option of seeing a specialist of the same gender, then it would be haram to go otherwise. Unless of course, the specialist of the opposite gender is the only highest qualified dr and your case is serious, needing that level of qualification, then you can, but try to request gloves be worn.

And Allah knows best.

Or, you are able to laminate it, or cover it with clear coloured nail polish, to avoid accidentally touching it.

Yes, you can also read more than seven verses. the only verses you must not read are the verses that have a wajib sajdah.

These verses are in Surah Fussilat, Najm, Sajdah and 'Alaq.

And Allah knows best.

Woman . Parents . Marriage

I have heard that if a woman wants to marry someone and her parents are not agreeing then it is not allowed for her. Is this true?

Not every Muslim woman needs her father's permission for her marriage. Only the virgin girl needs her father;s permission or her paternal grand father's. If the marriage is not the first marriage, then she is free to decide although it is always good to keep the respect of her father and mother but there no condition on her marriage.

Even virgin girl can get married if she needs marriage to save herself and her father is objecting on the marriage with out a valid Islamic reason.

In Shi'i fiqh, there is no problem with a woman travelling without a mahram.

In the Sunni schools of thought, travelling without a mahram is generally considered impermissible but sometimes allowed in some situations these days. So if she is looking for an answer in accordance with one of the Sunni schools of thought, she should consult someone knowledgeable about that specific school of thought.

Is it encouraged in Islam for a Muslimah to pursue a career as a biomedical or pharmaceutical researcher?

It is necessary for Muslim community to have female medical and pharmaceutical experts who can serve our females' medical and pharmaceutical needs. In case of the need can not be fulfilled by male experts, it can be compulsory on females who can, to study and meet the need.

In general, we encourage our Muslim females to go in every career which is required by our community as far as the female is observing proper Hijab and keeping herself away from mixing with sinful people and sinful acts.

Woman . Divorce . Iddah

If a woman gets a Khulah, what is her waiting period considering the fact that she had a total hysterectomy and cannot have any children?

Bismihi ta'ala

As long as she is under the age of "ya`s" or shar'i menopause, then she must observe 'iddah, which for her is not three menstrual cycles, but rather three full months.
