Tuhr means :

A: Period of menstruation
B: Period of Iddat
C: Period of Purity
D: Period between three successive menstruations

The answer is: C

Explanation

The correct answer is: (C) Period of Purity.

Explanation:
In Muslim Law, Tuhr refers to the period of purity, that is, the time between two menstrual cycles when the woman is not menstruating.

This concept is important especially in the context of Talaq (divorce) procedures. For example, in Talaq-e-Ahsan and Talaq-e-Hasan, the husband pronounces talaq during the Tuhr period, when the wife is not in menstruation.

In simple words:

  • Tuhr = the clean or pure period between menstruations.

Why other options are incorrect:

(A) Period of menstruation – This is called Hayd.

(B) Period of Iddat – Waiting period after divorce or death of husband.

(D) Period between three successive menstruations – Not the meaning of Tuhr.

Correct Option: (C) Period of Purity
