Women's Issues

Removing hair during haidh

Q: I have a few questions to ask which I am in doubt about.

1. Are women allowed to remove hair from any part of the body example arms, legs or face during her hayz or nifaas.

2. Is a woman on haidh or nifaas allowed to read any wazifa that is from the quran? Example any quranic ayat as a wazifa during her monthly cycle or not.

3. If a women has sideburns is she allowed to thread them or shave them if the are really long?

The place of women

Q: Could you please tell me is there a need for segregation between non mahram male and females in academic discussions and conferences? The content of discussions is halaal but sometimes there is a need for public meetings and private discussions which some brothers outside the academy feel is a sign of transgression. Is that so?

Irregular bleeding

Q: I'm feeding my baby. During feeding, my period is irregular. First month by month just had spots, not bleeding so I waited until 3 days then I performed ghusal. Soon I had same spots after 20 days. Again I waited 3 days, then performed ghusal and now I have blood spot after 8 days of my period. So should I wait for 3 days because it's just spots for two days. Please confirm.
