Haiz, Istihaazah & Nifaas

Q: I have clear and also yellowish discharge on a daily basis. I may begin my period in 4/5 days. I’m getting yellowish discharge - but this is, as I said, normal for me. However, I’m also getting lower abdomen pain. Like a twinging feeling - it seems a little similar to cramps. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to count this as haidh. What usually happens to me every month is, I see brownish discharge (which is old blood, so I know for sure it is hayd) then I see regular brown/red blood. But if yellow discharge is considered blood, then what do I do in this situation? Some women go through something called ‘pre-menstrual syndrome’ a week or two before our periods. I’m not sure if the cramp like feelings are a result of this syndrome or not or even something else.

Q: I learned in madrasah that during menstruation, one is not permitted to remove hair from any part of the body or clip the nails.

My question is, would it be permissible to do so if the hair growth causes a rash and discomfort, and the nails chip and break if they are too long?

Q:

1. What is the ruling regarding teaching Quran during haidh? Can one correct the mistakes? And can a teacher recite one or two words to give a lesson or correct words?

2. Similarly, what is the ruling regarding reciting Quran for the student in the state of haidh? Can she recite one or two words in front of the muallima in those days?

Q: I experience discharge daily. With regards to haiz what colour discharge would be regarded as haiz. My haiz cycle is generally 10 days. But not every day is red. Please help me understand.

Q: In the case where I see a discharge but I am confused of whether it is clear or yellow, during istihadah, do I assume the former or latter and move on? And can we do wudu before prayer time begins when in istihadah? Like 5-10 mins before prayer or even earlier?

Q: If the discharge color changes and seems lightish brown, does the haiz start or not? Does one need to wait for red flow of blood to count whether haiz started?

Q:

1. Is greenish discharge during haidh also considered as blood?

2. I’m in haidh. Today, whilst using the toilet, a lot of discharge came out and I wasn’t aware (as didn’t feel its release) until I wiped and saw discoloured discharge on my tissue. After washing and wiping, myself, towards the end I decided to wipe against my private area once more and I saw a small amount of dampness and i think a small amount of clear discharge. (I’ve read that discoloured discharge thats considered haidh doesn’t have to be completely discoloured, it can be mixed with both clear and coloured discharge.) I didn’t feel the release of this discharge and I’ve made the assumption that it could be leftover of the discoloured discharge I got a few minutes earlier that I forgot to wipe off. Was this okay of me to assume?
