Haiz, Istihaazah & Nifaas

Woman making her salaah qadha due to delaying in checking if her haidh started

Q: I prayed zuhr after it had ended because I'm due to begin my period and earlier when I checked my discharge, it seemed somewhat dark but I still wasn't sure. So I kept checking until before asr. However, I delayed it too long and checked only a few minutes before asr was due to start before I decided I felt more inclined towards me not having started my menses as my discharge appeared repeatedly clear. I ended up doing wudu and praying zuhr after asr began (without doing ghusl). Am I sinful?

Woman seeing a brown discharge after 10 days of haidh

Q: I usually get my haidh for 10 days, with the last 4 days typically being just light brown spotting here and there. 

This month, on the 7th day, I noticed clear discharge. By the 9th day, I realised that since then, I hadn’t seen any discharge, so I assumed my haidh had ended. I performed ghusl and made qadha of the missed salaah. 

Later that same day, I noticed a small amount of clear discharge again, with a very tiny yellow dot.

When the 10 days were completed, there was still no more discharge. However, after the 10 days were over, I noticed a small amount of brown discharge. 

Do I need to perform another ghusl? Or did my haidh end on the 7th day?

Ruling regarding a woman who emits a discharge throughout the month

Q: What is the ruling regarding a woman who emits a discharge throughout the month? 

For ±3 days before and after her haidh it is brown in colour. Her bleeding lasts for ±8 days . During the rest of the month her discharge is yellow or white. 

If she regards all coloured discharges as haidh then those days when she is actually bleeding may fall under istihadha?

Woman experiencing bleeding within fifteen days of her last haidh

Q: I wanted to find out, I had my monthly cycle on the 6 January and ended on the 10 January then again started bleeding on the 20 January and ended on the 24 January and now I am bleeding again from the 5 February which ended yesterday and all of a sudden today I started bleeding fresh again. Is it considered a period or a sickness? Can I still continue reading Salaah and Quraan?

Spotting while pregnant

Q: I suspect that I am pregnant. I saw some pink spotting and regarded it as haidh. The next day I did a pregnancy test which was positive. However I am still not 100% sure that I am pregnant. I am still not experiencing haidh like I usually do. Should I consider myself in the state of haidh ?
