Advising a girl not to go to university
Q: There is a cousin of mine that has completed her matric and plans on starting university... I spoke to her about the importance of studying Deen and that a woman's place is not out in the public... She says that she made istikhara and shes very sure that madressa isn't for her at this stage of her life...
She is a very stubborn person by nature and is dead set on going to university, I don't know what else to tell her.
Can Mufti Saheb please advise me on how to go about this... Should I just leave it or should I continue speaking to her (I feel like I'm pestering her)?

Seeing a yellow discharge
Q: I have a yellow discharge that comes almost every single day and an irregular menstrual cycle. I haven't seen any brown discharge or actual blood for months.
After reading some of the questions and answers from Muftionline, I understood the discharge to be haidh and started calculating 10 days haidh, 15 days tuhr even without seeing any blood.
I was recently informed that only when I see blood or brownish discharge, that will be my haidh. And any yellow discharge after the bloom, until the end of 10 days will be counted as haidh. After that, I must wait for blood again, otherwise never to count the yellow discharge as haidh.
