Dogs barking at night

Q: I just wanted to ask you that there are many street dogs near my house and they bark and cry a lot in the night. Is it dangerous or is it bad if dogs cry? If dogs cry in the night does it mean that someone is going to die? Please suggest me something because I am fed up and get scared in the night.

Splashes on one's clothing

Q: When I went to the bathroom I felt a splash of water or urine on my hand, I don't remember now. I didn't see it that time. I thought I will wash there but when I stood up, my sleeves fell down and I don't know where it was. 

My question is, is my sleeve napaak in both cases if it was impure water or if it was urine or if I don't remember what it was?

Forgetting in Salaah

Q: I have short term memory problem when I am praying salah. Sometimes I don't know how many rakat (rakah) I did, what shall I do then? I always don't know how many sajdah I did. If I did 1 or 2 sajdahs I don't remember. If I do more than 2 sajdah or do less than 2 sajdah would my salah be valid? I don't know if the cause of my problem is shaytaan. If I don't know how many rakaats and sajdah I did, what can I do? If I don't know, can I just do 1 more rakat or 1 more sajdah?​

Reciting duas and making zikr during haidh

Q: What can a woman can recite during her periods? Can she recite qurani duas? Can she recite duas of prophet ( Sal-Allah ho Ali hay wasalam)? Can I recite la ill aha illa unta subhanaka innii kuntu minuzalemeen during periods? Is there any special permission required to do this dua as I recite it often without wadu (when I'm not in periods) and many times a day without counting. What can we recite when a girls head isn't covered?
