Q: My grandmother (fathers mother) passed away two weeks ago at age 86. May Allah grant her Jannatul Firdous. Aameen

With regards to the inheritance, she had made verbal bequests and had not made a written will. During her lifetime she had gifted her daughter her “share” of what was due i.e. money and jewellery and other items. She had continually mentioned to all the family members that she had given those items and the remainder of her possessions will stay in the house and is for my father. (She was a widow and lived with my parents). Subsequent to the death, my aunt is now wanting to claim other items. Please advise how we should handle the situation. Should we now distribute all the items the shariah way. They are just 2 siblings, one brother and one sister.

Should he now repeat the whole 4 rakaats farz of zuhr or must he perform 2 rakaats qasr?

Q: I have been having great difficulty figuring out when my period ends. I usually do not see a white discharge after my menses so I often have to keep checking for dryness. I read that the way to check for dryness is to insert a cotton ball or tissue and see if anything is left on it.

My question is (I'm sorry if it is a bit graphic):

1. What does it mean exactly by 'insert'? As in right before the inner lips of the private part or actually 'insert' into it?

2. Do I let it wait there or remove it immediately?

3. How regularly should I do this?

I would appreciate an answer according to the Hanafi fiqh.
