But mashAllah you have a very valid point about da'leel
sorry about not providing it earlier, I vaguely remembered it and I just had to find it (this is one of the few websites I trust): Islam Question and Answer - When a pregnant woman feels contractions, should she stop praying, and does she have to makeup the missed prayers?
Perhaps it's my limited imagination but a woman giving birth and a even a small portion of a child sticking out (?) it is Fard to pray. That's giving birth right there.
As for people who say childbirth isn't hard:
And May Allah (swt) forgive me if I thought I understood through ignorance and not true understandings from these readings. |
Salaams,
That was a very good post explaining your position. Thank you.
As to your last part, yes giving birth is difficult, but consider also that Maryam (ra) was alone without any help, and young. It compounds the experience, and makes it quite frightening. The pain of childbirth is incomparable to anything that comes before, so imagine going through it under those circumstances. But an uncomplicated birth by itself will not necessarily inhibit one from a modified prayer, please refer to my previous posts.
