Women's Issues

Irregular bleeding

Q: It has been 24 days since my last monthly period. I normally have a 26 to 28 days gap though sometimes I come on after 24 or 25. My question is I saw a drop of blood on the 24th day in the night then nothing the next day till night and in the night 25th day I saw a drop again and today is the 27th and I have not seen anything. Is it permissible for me to have intercourse with my husband?

Bleeding for more than ten days

Q:

1. If a woman's menses exceeds ten days, then should she perform salaah?

2. What will the ruling be in the case where a woman bleeds for more than the days of her usual pattern of menses, but the blood then stops before ten days?

Wearing purda

Q: My wife is not in niqaab but in hijaab Alhamdulilah. I however desire this in my wife and often admire women in niqab desiring this for myself. Am I wrong for having this desire? Have I sinned for wanting this even if not for my wife. My wife is slightly inclined to this but I am not pinning my hopes on this. Do you think this is just my desires disguised? Please give me advise as this is bothering me much.

Discharge problem

Q: If a lady experiences white discharge during the day and the same is experienced during the night, is a ghusl fard for the discharge experienced during the night? Even though it is the same colour as the discharge during the day. Does the ruling differ if it is yellow or white discharge?
