Abstract

Most of contemporary authorities have considered the presence of Junub person and menstruating women as well as leaving women alone with the Muhtadar (A person who is about to die and whose soul is about to leave his body) as Makruh. These fatwas are always followed by the legislators, and therefore, women are sometimes prevented from appearing next to a Muhtadar. Since no extensive research has been carried out on this, then, the question of examining the jurisprudential ruling on the presence of a woman next to a Muhtadar is an issue that needs to be explored until the answer stage. It is necessary to study the jurisprudential principles of these rulings in the sense that in addition to practical fruits, it can express a kind of attitude towards women. Achieving this goal is possible in the shadow of describing and analyzing jurisprudential propositions by collecting library data. The findings of this study suggest that, even if the presence of a menstruating woman next to a Muhtadar is accepted based on the principle of Tasamoh (laxity) in the arguments of Sunnah, but undoubtedly this ruling is only for the time of Talqin (some phrases regarding Islamic beliefs that are recited for the deceased before burying his or her corpse) and does not cover the whole period of Ihtidar. The ruling of leaving women alone with the Muhtadar as makruh also lacks religious support and fatwas.
