Woman following a tuhr cycle every month

Q:

1. Do women have to follow their tuhr cycle every month? I do not have a fixed tuhr period. Some months it is 20 days, 21 days, then another month 16 days. I may get a same tuhr period for two months sometimes. But most of the time it is unfixed. For years I am counting my periods like this - if I get a bleeding after 15 days from the last period, I treat it as period. Can you please tell if this is the correct way of calculating periods or do I have to follow my previous month’s tuhr period?

2. Almost a year ago. it happened that I forgot my habit of period. I forgot how many days it was. After much contemplation, I felt that my habit was 8 days. Since then, I have been practicing upon it. Is that correct?

Calculating haidh for a woman who has never experienced a minimum of 15 complete days of tuhr

Q: I am confused regarding my haidh. Please advise.

I get haidh consisting of red blood for around 7-8 days each month. The rest of the month I get a discharge (varying between clear, white and yellow, most of the time it is yellow).

I used to consider my haidh as 10 days (the 7 or 8 days of blood and 2 or 3 days of discharge). Then I would make a ghusl and make wudhu for every salaah thereafter until I see blood again.

I do not get my haidh on the same days of the month (i.e. a few days before or after the last date). For the past 5 years, my haidh has been like this. I used to get my haidh for two years prior to these 5 years, but unfortunately I did not record my cycle (I think it was the same like the 5 years).

Below is the days I've recorded as haidh for the past year in the manner as stated above:

2019 
- 8 Oct - 18 Oct
- 11 Nov - 21 Nov
- 17 Dec - 27 Dec

2020

- 17 Jan - 27 Jan
- 11 Feb - 21 Feb
- 21 Mar - 31 Mar
-27 Apr - 6 May
- 31 May- 10 Jun
- 1 Jul - 11 Jul
- 31 Jul - 10 Aug

Please advise.

Making qadha if haidh started during a salaah time

Q:

1. My menstruation cycle is regular in the sense that I have 14 clean days, 1 day istihaza and 10 days haiz. It's the same every time. So it starts at 4.43pm. I am usually always alert about performing my asr salaah before the time of haiz starts. Unfortunately today I was unwell earlier and had to sleep and over slept and only awoke after the time of haiz began. Will this asr Salaah be considered as qaza?

2. As a saahib tartib if I make ghusl and I have only enough time to perform the fard salaah and not the qazaa. When do I read the qazaa?

Seeing brown discharge after haidh

Q: I have a question regarding haidh

1. I get a brown discharge all the time sometimes it's light sometimes dark. So because of this, as soon as 15 days are up since my last haidh and I see this brown discharge I start counting it as my haidh even if I'm not bleeding but I was told I'm counting wrong I must count it 20 clean days and 10 napaak days because I never had a completely clean 15 days without spotting. As far as I can remember I always had discharges in my clean days. How am I supposed to count my days?

2. If I have to count it 20 clean days then to get my days right by re counting the easiest will be from after my baby wa born, that was 20 August 2019. She was born and I had a 40 day nifaas because I was discharging till the end and even after the 40 days were up I was discharging. How should I re count my days?

3. I don't get a yellow discharge all the time, it's occasionally. Does it count as a starting of a haidh if I get only a yellow discharge and during my haidh days if I get only yellow does it count as haidh?

Continuous spotting after haidh

Q: Last year in September, October, November and December a girl bled for 7/8 days and then was spotting brown over the 10th day. The amount of days in between each haidh of hers was 22, 21, 20 days. Her tuhoor habit is 20 days and her haidh habit is 9 days.

1. In December, 10 days after her haidh she began bleeding due to a tablet. She bled for 6/7 days and then was only spotting. She counted her haidh after 20 days had passed i.e. from the 2nd 18:50 to 7th January (5 days). 12 days after that she was seeing brown like how she normally sees at the beginning of her haidh (19th) then on the 14th day (21st) she started bleeding red. So she counted her haid as follows: since she bled for 5 days at the beginning of January (which is less than her habit) and then she bled within the 15 days of tuhoor so she counted 9 days as haidh and then began counting her next haidh cycle from 20 days after the 9 days. Was her calculation correct?

2. In February she was spotting throughout her tuhoor period. So she counted her haidh after 20 days of tuhoor had passed. She started bleeding red 13 days after her last haidh. She counted her haidh after 20 days of tuhoor had passed. She stopped bleeding red on the 1st day of her haidh and was only seeing brown and spotting brown thereafter. She counted her haidh according to her haidh habit. She was spotting brown in the whole month.

3. In March she was spotting brown throughout. She started bleeding red after 21 days of tuhoor. She counted her haidh according to her habit due to the spotting exceeding the 10 days.

4. In April She counted her haidh from after 20 days and only started bleeding red after 24 days of tuhoor. In this month she was also spotting brown.

5. In May she counted her haidh after 20 days and only started bleeding red after 25 days. In this month she was spotting brown throughout as well.

Is her calculations correct for the above?

Also she has had previously confusion with certain masaail and a lot of salaah has been missed due to her not making ghusul at the correct time. Or reading salaah while she is suppose to be in the state of haidh and the opposite. Will she have to make qadhaa for all these salaah?
