Al-murshid al-fiqhi li ahkam akhass khususiyat al-nisa': dirasah fiqhiyah tibbiyah muqaranah

Abstract

This book was written at the request of the secretary general assistant of the Islamic Organization for Medical Sciences (IOMS) and was also published by the IOMS. The book, co-authored by a Muslim religious scholar and a Muslim physician, handles the Islamic juristic rulings which exclusively relate to women such as female circumcision, pregnancy, abortion, menstrual blood, postnatal bleeding, metrorrhagia, menorrhagia and gynecological hemorrhage in general. Different chapters of the book are prefaced by general medical information and then followed by a further analysis from an Islamic juristic viewpoint.
