Irregular brown discharge after taking birth control pills
Q: I am usually regular with my menstruations, with active bleeding occuring around the 20th of each month, once a month only. However I have recently started taking birth control pills, and I am experiencing a very mild brown discharge, since the 7th November (out of my regular menstrual bleeding time). Medically this is referred to as breakthrough bleeding, caused by the pill. Would it be counted as menstrual bleeding Islamically, once 15 days of being paak have passed? Even though this bleeding does not exactly resemble the actual menstrual flow? What about if this brown discharge starts before the full 15 days of being paak,i.e. the discharge occurs randomly throughout the month. Although, during the first 2 days of my actual menstrual period, the flow is a similar mild brown, after which it progresses to red bleeding.

Woman in iddat going into her backyard
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.
Woman doubting whether haiz started while fasting
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?
Women going to parks and gyms
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?
Sometimes I also get disturbed. Please tell me so that my imaan gets strong.
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?
