Women's Issues

Q: Is it permissible for women to wear Cardigans over their abayas. These cardigans have floral designs? I told my wife that this is not allowed because its attractive. She said some of her teachers in the Madrasah said it is permissible. I have increased my Mujahada and Duaa in trying to reform my wife. But these Scholars now a days cut off my legs. Mufti Saab say my wife is insisting in wearing these floral cardigans which are attractive in nature with her abaya and stuff and I say no to her she listens but then she gets upset and nags with me. She will remain sad the whole day. Should I not give in? I want to deal with her in kindness but not at the cost of breaking the commands of Allah Ta'ala. Please explain to me in detail. 

Q: If a person is a non-mahram to me, can I look at her clothing without looking at her face, or should I lower my gaze and not look at her clothing as well?

Q: Can Muslim women bath in a river or sea in public?

Q: My last haiz (or what I considered my haiz) was June 28 - July 4 and remained a brown colour throughout. It looked like discharge and for 1 or 2 days had red streaks of blood. Then it continued as brown discharge/ blood , im not sure. Today (July 15) I have got the same brown discharge / blood. But I have not had a 15 day gap of purity so I have continued to pray as I think I have istihaza.

1. Am I right in thinking I should be praying now?

2. Should I have prayed during the first time I experienced the brown discharge / blood

3. I have read online that there must be a 15 day or 10 day gap of purity - I would like to know where the evidence for this is.

4. I also heard the ruling for istihazah is to clean with instinja, I do this but still blood remains, so I pray anyways. Is my prayer valid or must I repeat them once I am pure? 

Q: A women experienced haidh for 6 six days after which she took a ghusl. She thereafter notices a white discharge with a very faint pink tinge. Is this considered part of her haidh?

Q: Is it allowed for a girl to go against her parents and study something that they don't like e.g. I want to study fashion designing but my parents are not allowing. I am so much frustrated and just want to leave my home and run away should I do ao?

1. Can a two year old male child sleep with his elder sister of 15 on one bed?
