Bleeding after nifaas

Q: I recently had my 3rd baby and on the 25th day started prayers after taking ghusl as the bleeding had stopped. But on the 40th day the bleeding started and thinking that periods have started I stopped praying but the bleeding stopped by evening. I waited one day to confirm and when the bleeding didn't come took ghusl and started praying. But after 2 days again the bleeding started. This time also it stopped by evening. I have not yet taken ghusl as don't know what to do. Please let me know if it's nifaas or haiz or something else. And should I wait further or take ghusl and start praying? What about prayers missed?

Bleeding after a miscarriage

Q: I am confused whether my bleeding is istidah or posnatal. I had an eptopic pregnancy at 11 weeks. My treatment for eptopic pregnancy involved a D and C and an special injection to terminate the eptopic pregnancy. Since the treatment I have been on heavy bleeding for almost 5 weeks and now on my 6th week I am still getting brown discharge. My doctor said the bleeding lasted so long because of the injection and she also said that though this is not a postnatal bleeding, she recommended me to wait for 6 weeks until I start praying. Now that I am at the end of my sixth week, I am still having the brown discharge after the 5 week long heavy bleeding. Should I start praying or not? Please advise.

Women remaining within the confines of their homes

Q: I was reading an answer you gave to a lady that asked a question about what is the correct way to spend your day. I felt deeply disappointed with your answer.

How could any female stay at home and cook, clean and look after their children all day everyday? Do you not think that would make her feel depressed and her self esteem would suffer because she is worthless now? That is oppression!

Discharge after haidh

Q:

1. A woman has a discharge problem all the time. Sometimes the discharge is clear and at times it is a yellow colour. If she has her haidh for 7 days i.e. blood and brown discharge and after the 7th day she starts her normal discharge i.e. clear for a little while and then yellow then will this yellow discharge be haidh?

2. Should she wait for ten to pass and then take a ghusl ?
