Women's Issues

Q: I have two questions pertaining discharge during haidh.

1. I thought I had released discharge and went to check but when I wiped, it felt pretty dry and all i saw on the paper was slight dampness. the discharge i had prior to this was discoloured, so i believed im still in hayd. can i assume that the dampness i saw was normal dampness and that im still in hayd?

2. In another incident today, after i was done relieving myself and i washed myself, i wiped where my discharge comes out to check and i didnt really see proper discharge - all i saw on the paper i wiped with was dampness/wetness. can i assume that what i saw is just water from istinja?

Q: How many menstrual cycles does a single lady who was raped observe before getting married?

Q: I have a few doubts regarding a woman's impurity after child delivery. I request you to please provide all answers with references so that I can educate my wife and other dependent ladies at my home

1. Exactly how long does a woman remain impure after child delivery? There is an old woman's saying that 40 days is the minimum period. If a woman's bleeding stops after 7 days, but she has irregular bleeding every alternate day or once in 3 days, what will the period be?

2. After the impurity period, can she do everything like praying, reading Quran and physical relationship with her husband?

3. Does she have to make up for the missed prayers during her impurity?
