Q: Please can you assist me with the following: My family eat non-meat products from non halaal restaurants such as fish, vegetables etc. I am therefore concerned that their clothes become napaak as a result of 1.) crumbs from their food falling onto their clothes (which could potentially be contaminated) or 2.) from sitting at such places as there is always a possibility of crumbs of the non halal food being on the seats. Whenever I see crumbs on their clothes I begin to get concerned however I am not certain if the crumbs are from eating at a non halal place or from eating elsewhere. I would therefore like to know if this makes everywhere they sit subsequent to eating at such places e.g. couch, bed, car etc napaak and would I have to wash it thrice every time this happens? Furthermore since I am not certain regarding the source of the crumbs, do I also need to was their clothes thrice.

Q: I would like to know how to work out my period as my cycle has changed. I still have the marina on. During these last few months I bled very little. For example I get a brown discharge for two days and then 14 or 15 days later I get a red discharge for two days. So basically throughout the month I'm bleeding for about four days on and off. How do I work out my period? I also get a whitish yellow discharge often. Will I count that as period blood also? This month I never bleed at all for about 22 days and then I bled for about 6 days. I'm very confused as I don't know which days to count as my period and which are my clean days. I want to keep my qadhas before Ramadan but I'm not sure on which days I should fast.
