Seeing little redness after one's haidh ends

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?

Irregular bleeding after a miscarriage

Q: I have 1 daughter who is 6 years old. And now I had a miscarriage on Dec 16... The bleeding followed for 13 days; 10 days haidh and 3 days istihadha. Then it was done.

On January 9, I started bleeding again. I took ghusl after 6 days on 16 Jan. On Jan 7 everything was clear and I prayed all my salaahs and on Jan 18 I suddenly started bleeding again. I took ghusl for that on Jan 19.

On Jan 28 I started bleeding again. It was just for an afternoon... Then on Monday Jan 29 verything was clear...

Today, Jan 30 I started bleeding again..

How do I calculate the days of haidh and the days of istihadha? This is really confusing for me. I have never had irregular menses since buloogh and my aadat has always been 5 days only.

Bleeding less than 15 days between two haidh

Q: As per aadat, I took a bath on Wednesday 29 November to get paak, afterwards I noticed that I am not paak. There was a slight change in color, was not completely white. Then the next day November 30 I remained in doubt- to pray or not to pray, but finally took bath and started praying, I prayed asar, magrib, Isha and so on. Now on December 14, at fajar time I experienced bleeding. Is this haidh or istihaza?

Bleeding after nifaas

Q: Regarding postpartum bleeding, after the 40 days when bleeding continues off and on as it does for breastfeeding mothers it is regarded as istihaza, so the days after the blood has stopped will you need to perform ghusl just as you do for normal menstruation? Or only wudhu? And how long will it be regarded as istihaza?

Irregular bleeding

Q: A woman got her periods, however the flow was exceptionally light and only lasted 4 days as opposed to the usual 6 days. Also the usual symptoms that come along such as period cramps were not experienced. It has been 10 days and she has gotten her period, this time it is normal unlike the previous haidh. However should she consider this haidh or istihadah?
