Question

Asak, can we go out in the morning to gym or go out of our house in the state of janabath before taking GHUSL?can woman apply hair colour (not henna) to colour her hair for beutifying herself.? can woman wear western clothes in home in front of her husband only.

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

It is important for a person to do exercise as it helps in keeping a person fit and healthy. However, this should be done within the limits of shariah.

A person should try to perform ghusl as soon as possible. It is permissible to go out of the house in the state of janabah.

It is permissible for women to dye their hair. However, it is not permissible to use black dye.

Islam emphasises modesty and considers it to be part of Iman. Islam also encourages a woman to adorn herself for her husband. She could do so in a way she feel to be appropriate.

And Allah knows best

How is ghusl (the obligatory bath) performed?

“A1) One should refrain from making Tilaawat by the deceased before Ghusl is executed due to the deceased being in a state of Najaasat (due to death). A2) If one is not in the same room as the deceased, then one may make Tilaawat…”
