Women's Issues

Q: Please explain me about purda (hijab). Can women open their faces in front of any man? What is the actual order of Allah Ta'ala regarding purda (hijab) for women?

Q: I would like to know if after 6 days of haidh a lady sees no blood. She wakes up on the 7th morning before fajr there is no sign of blood so she performs ghusal and read esha there after she preforms fajr and dourinhg the day has relations with her husband. After her ghusal she starts noticing a discharge with a slight trace of blood. Is this regarded as haidh or not?

Q: Can girls put nail polish when they are having periods? I have heard that girls cannot put nail polish even in periods because if they die while having nail polish it cannot be removed once a person dies, so their namaaz-e-janaaza cannot be performed. Is it true?

Q: I have heard that there are two types of Hijab; one that covers the entire body except for the eyes and the other that covers the entire body except for the face and hands. Which of these hijabs is permissible in the Hanafi fiqh?

Q: I have what I think is a huge problem especially with the holy month of Ramadaan coming. I am a married woman who was on the 3 month injection/contraceptive for 4 years, this made me gain weight so I decided to go off the injection and went  on the loop instead. This was in November last year. Since i'm on the loop I've been spotting/bleeding (not a real menstruation) but the sister told me that it would take up to +-9 months to work out. My question is, with me spotting on and off when and how do I know when I'm clean enough to perform salaah and also fast in the month of ramadaan if this continues? When I say I spot on and off, I spot a whole week and clear for like 3-5 days and just continue spotting again. Please advise as to what and how I go about this.

Q: Is it wajib for old women to cover their faces (through niqab), or does this obligation only exist for young and middle-aged women?

Q: I would like to know what to do when I get my monthly period. For the first 2 or 3 days I get a coloured discharge 1 or 2 times a day thereafter I start bleeding for a few days. How do I calculate my period from the start of the bleeding or discharge. When I see the discharge must I perform salaah. If I see the discharge at one salaah time and for the next few salaah I don't see anything must I make wudhu and perform salaah?

Q: If I don't read salah on time and within an hour or less I get my haidh, so do I have to make qadha after I get paak?
