Haiz, Istihaazah & Nifaas

Q: I have a few questions regarding figuring out the end of my period. For the last 10 years, I had been relying on the opinion that once there has been clear discharge/dryness towards the end of one's menses, whatever comes after that in terms of colored discharge should be ignored. I determined my habit according to this rule (when I say dryness once, I considered it the end of my period and ignored what came after). Recently, I have been told that the colored discharge after menses is also considered menses (up to the 10 day mark) and one must make ghusl accordingly, multiple times when necessary. Is this the correct opinion?

If so, must I re-determine my habit according to this opinion or do I stick with my previous habit?

Lastly, since according to the first opinion, whatever comes after dryness is to be ignored, for the last 10 years I have been doing ghusl only once usually, and not repeating it following colored discharge afterwards. Do I have to make up all the prayers I did in this state for the last 10 years?

Q: I have fibroide in my uterus due to which my bleeding is not stopping. I am going for Umrah soon. This condition happened after we booked everything. Now I am really worried whether this falls under a sickness or not? Can I perform umrah in this condition?

Q: Can a women publicly inform her father, son, husband, brother and other close male relatived about her menstruation so they can bring her sanitary napkin (pads) from the shop?

Q: During the time of the month when a woman is expecting her period, she sees a small discharge of blood at night. She also feels what seems like the beginnings of period cramps. She assumes it is her period, doesn't pray isha, goes to sleep and wakes up in the morning, doesn't pray fajr. Later in that day, she goes to the bathroom and sees no blood, though she feels cramps. At this point does she have to pray? Does she have to make up the isha and fajr prayers she did not pray assuming she was on her period?

What if her she sees blood again later in the day?

Q: My last period was on the 8th of Jan and in Feb I missed my period. So on the 8th of Feb I found out that I have ectopic pregnancy which was treated 4 days ago by an injection which kills pregnancy. So now, after 4 days of the injection I am bleeding like periods. I dont know if it is haidh or istihaadha.

Q: When I gave birth to my child I had the normal bleeding for 40 days. After 40 days I started to pray but my bleeding has still not stopped. It goes away for 3-4 days then comes again. Now I am confused like when do I need to pray and when not.

Q: A woman spots pinkish discharge 5 days before her period date (she spotted the discharge on the 29th of November and she started bleeding on the 2nd of December) she does sometimes get her periods 3-4 days earlier, her normal habit is 10 days.

So my question is, should she count her Haidh from when she noticed the pinkish discharge or when she actually started bleeding?

Q: If a woman bleeds over 15 days every month, is it jaiz for her to take birth control pills to stop the bleeding? 

Q: I just had a baby in December 2017. He is now 8 weeks. I had some bleeding after he was born. After the 40 days I was still bleeding. Now on the 8th week I did ghusl. And again I see brown discharge. I already read my today's namaaz. And after maghrib I got a brown discharge. Can I still read namaz?

Q: I had haidh for nine days but I thought it was 10 days and I made ghusl because I thought it will be istehaza.. Before performing ghusl I found it clear but immediately after that I found some reddish so I was not sure if it was completely clear or not but before performing ghusl it was clear. In confusion I performed ghusl anyway as I thought it was the 10th day. If I perform salah in this condition is my salah valid. After ghusl I performed asr and maghrib and I never checked during this time. After maghrib I checked and it was clear.. Is my salah valid? Or should I repeat them?
