Q: My mother is a drug addict and has been one since I was 15 and now I am 28. I am a married woman and my husband and I have tried to help her by letting her stay by us a few times but she stole money twice and recently she came to live by us and was fine for a while. She even started hifz but then left again to live by another man and now she wants to come back to live here because the man beats her up. My husband just keeps quiet but I know deep down he is not happy with it. She is crying on the phone alot but I told her my husband can't pick her up so late in the night we live far. She said that she will see where she is going to sleep for the night. I am starting to buy her monthly groceries from my allowance but now she wants to come and live back here. What should I do, I am totally lost.

Q: A woman gets yellow, white and green colour discharge frequently. She does not get her periods monthly. She might get it only two or three times in a year.

The question is that after each fifteen days she counts the yellow or green discharge. Sometimes there is a discharge with red streaks as her period if she gets it for three days consecutively. Thereafter if she gets the discharge, after 1 or 3 days break also. She completes the haiz period as 10 days. Is this the right way? What if she gets gets only yellow or very light yellow or green discharge in the period of haiz? Should it be counted as haiz?
