Haiz, Istihaazah & Nifaas

Q: I completed my seven day haidh ghusal. In the afternoon, I noticed a light brown discharge. Am I napaak and do I need to repeat the ghusal?

Q: My c section has been done 5 days before and my bleeding has been stopped. Shall I start offering my prayers or do I need to wait till 40 days as a normal delivery?

Q: I had completed my haidh and performed my ghusl after 7 days. After two days of being clean I started bleeding again. Is this haidh or istihaadha?

Q: I read it is Sunnah of sleeping to recite Surah Ikhlas, mawazitain once and blow on your palms, wiping hands over the body till where they can reach and this is done thrice. Similarly it is Sunnah to recite ayat-ul-kursi. My question is is that can women practice these sunnahs during haidh?

Q: I gave birth on 15 May 2016. I had a ghusal on the expiry of nifaas which was the 24th June 2016. However I still continued to bleed till now. In a week I will stop bleeding for 2/3 days then it would resume. In this scenario do I count my Haidh and if so how do I go about doing it?

Q: If a woman experiences yellow discharge or discharge tinged with a little yellow after 15 days has passed from her haidh, does she regard this as haidh even though it doesn't occur around the usual date that she begins haidh and she often has this discharge even during the 15 days?

Q: A girl got her haidh this morning (Monday 8/8/16 @ abt 11-11.30 am), but her 15 days of cleanliness finished tonight at abt 10-10.30 pm. One mufti's fatwa was that she has to consider the clean-day period between the cycle of last month and the month before (which was 17 days) and only consider herself in the state of haidh once that amount of days are up, even though she's bleeding properly and even after the 15-clean-day-period is up. Another mufti said that once the 15 days are up, she's on her haidh but she has to continue reading salaah until she bleeds for 3 days and more, then she's on her haidh properly and her salaah of those days falls off. Two of her female muallimahs have mentioned that if you bleed after your 15 days you are considered as having haidh and salaah becomes haraam and sinful for you. Please inform me of the fatwa from your perspective. I am not fatwa shopping. I just need clarity on this topic as I myself get confused, which is why I look to you, respected mufti, for clarification. Second question is that she knows she became paak before 10 pm (on Sunday 24/7/16) but hadn't had the chance to make ghusl until that time so after her ghusl she read esha and made qadha of salaah. She's assuming she became paak before esha on Sunday (24/7/17) because the brown/bloody discharge stopped during the course of the day and she found out from 1 of the mentioned muallimahs that haidh had stopped, so she made qadha of those salaah. I know haidh ends soon as bleeding stops, even if one doesn't make ghusl straight away. Now, today she hadn't read esha until 9.45/50 pm & when she went to make wudhu she found blood again even though she hadn't spotted at maghrib time (but she made a fresh wudhu for all salaah) but spotted before and at zohr and asr time. Keeping all of this in mind, will esha qadha of tonight still be binding on her?

Q: I wanted to ask if a girl sees spotting (only twice) for 1 to 2 days (on days when periods are supposed to happen but miss the start date) and yellow discharge which is not followed by bleeding or brown or yellow discharge anymore, in fact feels like a little whitish transparent but no more brown or yellow and there is no spotting and the tissue comes out clean every time too. And she on the night of the 2nd day takes pills for them to come. These pills basically make sure that periods will start, the days for them to start is 3 to 6 days after the pills. What should the girl do in terms of ghusal and namaaz? This happens every 3 to 4 months at times every 6 months. I've read that the minimum period days are 3 days and 3 nights. Since I didn't get them for this duration what am I supposed to do now? Should I take ghusal and start praying because periods will only start after the third day of pills. The days can go upto 6 and at times 15 too. I'm not even sure if I saw blood on the first day but I definitely saw a spot of red on the 2nd day (don't remember whether it was the night of the 1st day or morning of the 2nd day). I need help in this matter. Kindly give a detailed answer.

Q: A woman started her haiz on the 19/07 at 1:20pm and had a ghusl on the 26/07 at 4:00pm (Normal habit is about 7 days). After that she experienced normal clear discharge on the days that followed. (She normally has a continuous clear discharge out of haiz). However, she noticed a small streak of blood in the clear discharge on the 28/07 at 1:30pm and again on the 29/07 at 5:20 am and at 10:40 pm. Kindly explain which days are counted as haiz and which are not.
