Narrated / Authority Of: Muhammad Um Atiyya said: "Our Prophet (SAW) ordered us to come out (on Eid day) with the mature girls and the virgins staying in seclusion." Hafsa narrated the above mentioned Hadith and added, "The mature girls or virgins staying in seclusion but the menstruating women had to keep away from the Musalla."

Sahih Bukhari 15:91

But I guess being a woman pretty much disqualifies you from celebrating anything in Islam.

I see where the confusion is coming from. Other hadiths in the same book seem to suggest this is moreso because blood itself is considered unclean. For instance:

> Sahih al-Bukhari 325 (Book 6, Hadith 30) #322

> Narrated 'Aisha: Fatima bint Abi Hubaish asked the Prophet, "I got persistent bleeding (in between the periods) and do not become clean. Shall I give up prayers?" He replied, "No, this is from a blood vessel. Give up the prayers only for the days on which you usually get the menses and then take a bath and offer your prayers".

"Assume good faith" would suggest that at the time the holy texts were written, bleeding was frequently associated with infection and disease. Germ theory came over a millenia later.

Islam gave rights to woman at a time when they were treated as property everywhere else in the world.

In modern time, I have never heard of someone disqualifying menstruating women from celebrating. Though they are not expected to fast or pray during that time. My wife missed the first and last week this month -__-

Were you going to qualify that statement or should I just dismiss you as a clown and move on?

Or maybe just another assblasted indian barely suppressing their hatred by eternally seething about muslims.

I am not an Indian but merely an expat. But this comment is rather interesting

I was with you until your second sentence. The out of nowhere racism makes your original point (which I agree with) moot
