I lied about my periods (Muslim)

Currently Facing an issue where I lied to my mum that I was on my periods so she would stop bugging me about praying 24/7 and waking me up in the morning.

Well we today she was like when are you gonna shower cause it's been ages (as in the special one to purify yourself after periods) n i was like Yh. Went to take a shower n I've genuinely started my periods so like err.

I know I can pretend to pray but the issue lies in: My mum makes us read Quran everyday (which is why she knows it's been 10 days) and you can't read on your period!! Idk what to do its a big sin to read the Quran on your period...

Not been "clean" only last up to 10 days, even if you're stills technically on your period for more than 10days you have to start praying etc. My mum is the one that found this out and told me :/

Do you think I should just read it and get a random load of sins when I already have enough?
Just tell her you'll pray and read at your own time and pace, and that she doesn't need to tell you what to do all the time


Use schoolwork as an excuse too lol

Don't be silly and just tell your mum that you are actually on, trust me honesty is the best and you may get a small shouting but don't do it again and Allah will forgive you. :frown:

I lied about my period too.

It was really hot and I didn't feel like fasting. :cry:

oh my. I'm an ex muslim so I may sound biased but that just reminds me of how much unnecessary guilts I used to carry before leaving. You're in an environment that you are constantly watched over, from the looks of it.

I don't know how your mother is like personally, but I suppose as a Muslim (I hope) she would be a loving character who is also merciful (if she interprets the Quran that way) and she is also a woman so maybe communicating with her and being honest about it. She probably has experienced not being bothered religiously - like feeling bored at the mosque or not wanting to go to Madrassah. It is normal and happens to everyone at one point, even if they don't want to admit it.
You can't fake pray either. That is a major sin which people don't understand.

In regards to touching the Quran when you're on your menstrual, that is also a great sin.
You cannot touch the word of God in that state. And you won't get the same reward.

Do the right thing and tell your mother you lied. Yes she will shout at you for a bit but then she'll get over it quickly.
Next time don't lie. There is a reason why prayer is the second pillar of Islam. You can still read Qur'aan while on your periods. Either wear gloves or get a translation Qur'aan and read.

It's a bigger sin to miss prayers and lie to your parents.

God loves you. Do not worry. I've also lied about my periods in the past. It'll all be forgiven.
Tell the truth. You may end up digging yourself a deeper hole otherwise.
YOLO
[QUOTE=XOR_;64738711]Stupid religion is stupid.
The concept of sin is man made and there's no good reason to have to read the Quran everyday, you should tell her this.

Stupid religion is stupid? My my now that's a very intelligent argument right there. I don't have a comeback for that!

Also, she didn't ask for help in telling her mother that religion is made up.

Why do you need to vent your atheist frustration here? It's irrelevant.
Jesus H **** this is messed up. Why does your god have such an issue with a natural process the female body experiences? Does he not understand that it's natural? And that there is nothing dirty about it?

You may have lied to your mum, but you cannot lie to God. You have already created a sin, so instead of creating another one, tell your mother about your lie and the reason behind it. Hopefully, your mother is understanding. If she isnt, then I suggest you write a letter, book a flight and never look back. Lol

Firstly, OP is the one frustrated, due to religion.

Secondly, don't act as if rejecting the idea of a magical being in the sky warrants an intelligent argument.
