Our dear Aamir and Shayna is correct as Allah says in Q2:222 that menstruation is an illness (sic)

Our dear Aamir who does not know Arabic wrote this little gem:

>Note: All translations produced by shayna have dangerously misleading supporting text which directly >contradict with the transalation provided...every reader can easily identify...I strongly condemn that...

Now notice that our dear Aamir does not know any arabic so I selected at random one of the ayas quoted by Shayna and let us see if she is correct or not, and it is Q2:222 and it says:

wa yas'alunnaka 3an al-mahidi qul huwa dhaay

And it means

And they ask you about the menstruation say it is an illness.

And you know what? this is what Shayna wrote.

So is menstruation an ilness our dear Aamir? And I will be waiting for your translation with great anticipation
