Women's Issues
Irregular haidh
Q: In November, I had a tuhr period of 15 days. Then I had haidh from 17 to 27 November. After that I experienced bleeding for 10 more days but I prayed my namaz. Then there was no bleeding for 6 days. From 13 December, I started my haidh again which continued till 23 December. After that I was clean for 8 days but again started bleeding from 1st January. Now how will I calculate my tuhr period now? Will it be 15 days? When will I count my next haidh?
Making ghusl for haidh before 10 days end
Q: My menstrual cycle is 10 days and 15 clean days due to ongoing discharge, etc. My 10 days would have ended at 1.30pm however because I had to travel away from home and would not have been able to make ghusl at that time, I made ghusl at 12.30 and prayed zuhr. Was this correct? I could feel discharge after but didn't check again till asr.

Woman leaving her home to assist the elderly
Q: I'd like to find out if it is permissible for me as a lady to go out of my home and assist in a local care center for our Muslim mothers of our communities (they have no family to take care of them).
I always wear loose fitting clothing and make sure I am home by asr time if I do have to go out in necessity.
I have the skill of interacting and taking care of the elderly whether its family or not and love sitting with the elderly and listening to their advice and gaining some wisdom. I've been wanting to volunteer but am not sure what is the shariah ruling with regards to my intention of going out of my home to serve the elderly for the pleasure of Allah and giving back to community as many of our elderly ladies especially from Taleem always made the time to give me a good Tarbiyah as I grew into a lady that I am now.
And advice will be greatly appreciated and follwed Insha allah.
