Q: My daughter's husband passed away, she is now in iddat. We are so confused as to the rules about her going out in our backyard. We were told, she cannot go in our backyard if we don't have a cover, something like she can't be under the sky. Basically we want to know if she is allowed to go out and sit in the backyard.
Q: If a girl was fasting and at the time of asr, she's confused and not sure if she saw slight redness and after maghrib she saw her haidh had come. So when must she take a ghusl if she gets it for 10 days? (Asr or Maghrib Time)
Will she have to make qadha of that fast?
Q: Allah Ta'ala mentions in the Quraan:
وَقَرْنَ فِي بُيُوتِكُنَّ وَلَا تَبَرَّجْنَ تَبَرُّجَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ الْأُولَىٰ ﴿الأحزاب: ٣٣ ﴾
Translation: “Remain in your homes and do not exit from your homes displaying your beauty as would be displayed (by the women) in the former times of ignorance.” (Al-Ahzaab:33)
1. Many women say that they have to only live in their homes and cannot go out. They say that they also have hearts and they also want to see all other things outside like, the greenery, the parks and other things. Why do they have to only sit in the house?

2. Is it permissible for a woman to go to a nearby park or gym that is only for women for jogging and exercises with full pardah daily?

Q: A woman gave birth. Continuous bleeding continued for 36 days. It stopped at 36 days. After 7 days, bleeding started again for 10 days. Then she had 10 days of no bleeding. After that, bleeding began continuously for a month (and may continue like this for months).
Her previous nifaas habit was 40 days. Before pregnancy, her last habit was 7 days haidh and 21 clean days.
She calculated the nifaas as a full forty days. She then began performing salaah, despite the bleeding. When the bleeding began 23 days after the 40-day nifaas, she stopped performing salaah for full 10 days. She then took ghusl and began performing salaah. Now 13 days of bleeding have passed after the ghusl.
a) Uptil now, has she acted correctly?
b) Currently, should she stop performing salaah after 15 days or after 21 days as was her habit previously before pregnancy?
c) Should she calculate her haidh as 7 days or 10 days, as she is bleeding continuously?
She is not sure if she should stop her salaah in 2 days or not, or if she should have stopped already.
