There are only 2 verses about menstruation in the whole Quran. Here are they:
Quote:Sura 2, The Quran:
http://quran.ksu.edu.sa/index.php?l=en#a...rans=en_sh
( 222 ) And they ask you about menstruation. Say, "It is harm, so keep away from wives during menstruation. And do not approach them until they are pure. And when they have purified themselves, then come to them from where Allah has ordained for you. Indeed, Allah loves those who are constantly repentant and loves those who purify themselves."
When my 5 y.o ask about the meaning of this; my answer would be taken right away from wikipedia: "when girls become women, they will produce blood for a week from each month. That blood is harmful, but the little girl is not little anymore; they can handle that blood and clean it. It's not painful, but a sign that you are a woman now".
The second verse:
Quote:Sura 65, The Quran:
http://quran.ksu.edu.sa/index.php?l=en#a...rans=en_sh
( 4 ) And those who no longer expect menstruation among your women - if you doubt, then their period is three months, and [also for] those who have not menstruated. And for those who are pregnant, their term is until they give birth. And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him of his matter ease.
I would say to the 5 y.o daughter: "Remember verse 222 of Sura 2 ? We talked about how little girls bleed a non-painful blood for a whole week from every month when they become women; just like vampires When women grow old that blood stops. Some little girls go very late to become women; their blood delays.
These 2 verses are about how Muslim women should handle their bodies and handle the responsibility their body imposes on them, including women who have health problems delaying their periods
But where is the chatter? that's everything about menstruation in the Quran that I know of.
Ok, so you're comfortable explaining menstruation to a child, but not ejaculation. Why the difference?
