Q: What women examples are in the Qur'an?
A: Allah gave an example of those who disbelieved the wife of Noah* and the wife of Lut**; They were under two
servants from Our righteous servants so they betrayed them; So they availed (be of use) them nothing from Allah and
it was said: Enter both of you Hell with the entering people. and Allah gave an example of those who believed the wife
of Pharaoh when she said: My God! Build for me near you a house in Paradise and save me from Pharaoh (Phiroun) and his
work and save me from the tyrannical people. And Mary (Maryam) daughter of Imran who guarded her vulva (female opening) so
We blew in it from Our Spirit (Gabriel = Jibreel)*** and she believed as truth in the words of her God and His Books and
she was from the humble to Allah.
Translation of: Ayat 10 - 12, Surat AlTahreem.
* wife of Noah used to tell people that Noah was a mad person.

Q: Can married men have sex with their women at the time of their menstruation (period)?
A: And they ask you (Prophet Muhammad) about the menstruation. Say: It is harmful so isolate yourselves from the women in the
place of menstruation (woman's opening); And do not approach them (in this specific place) until they become cleansed;
So when they become
cleansed you can make love with them in where Allah has ordered you (women's opening); For Allah likes those who
repent and He likes those who keep themselves clean.

Q: Why had Allah made men caretakers of women?
Note: Remember the Qur'an is from Allah not man-made.
A: Men are caretakers of women* because of what Allah favoured some of them (men with physical strength) above the
others (women); And because what they had spent from their money (dowry etc.);** So the righteous women are devoutly
obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah want them to guard***; And those you fear their
arrogant disobedience then advise them and (if they do not listen) abandon them in beds and (if they do not listen)
beat them**** so if they (women) obey you then do not transgress against them in any way for Allah is
Exalted, The Most High. And if you fear a breach between them then send a judge from his family and a judge from her
family: If they want a reconciliation Allah will grant success between them for Allah is
All-Knowledgeable, All-Expert.
Translation of: Ayat 34 - 35, Surat AlNisa'.
* Women have the protection of men.
** In Islam husbands have to spend from their money on their wives and on the whole household. The wives spend only voluntarily from
their money.
*** Their chastity and property, reputation...etc. of their husbands.
