Q: I was wondering, this hadith: “Adam was hairy and tall, of wheatish complexion, having curly hair as on a high palm-tree…” What is meant by wheatish complexion? Does it mean dark brown or light brown?

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 am a divorced/single parent of one child. I have met someone in a halaal way and told that person I wanted to get married as soon as possible as I didn't want to commit zina. A few days ago we went to I think it was the Hanafi masjid and did our nikaah. The problem is I didn't as my wali which is my dad to stand up as my wali because I knew that he would want me to do nikkah in the way I wanted. So the Imman in the masjid stood as a wali for me. Now the problem is my husband looked into and phoned around to ask about this. Most of the place is saying it's invalid. Which is a big problem. So I've told my dad that I met someone and want to do nikkah but his telling me to think about it before I do it so told again I want to do nikaah as soon as possible but his telling me now he needs to think and tell me. I asked him why the need to make me wait he told me that I need to listen to him. My parents are divorced also on my mum side they do not practise Islam so I am waiting for my father now to tell me if he will be my wali or not. I really need some advice on this Insha Allah as now I'm missing the person I thought I was married to and also I live in a non Islamic house with my son. The person I want to be with is a practising Muslim and so am I. We pray five times Alhumdulilah and try our best when it comes to our Deen.

Q: Due to unavoidable circumstance, can one perform Tawaaf-e-Wida in Haj after Tawaf-e-Ziyrah during the days of Qurbani? Example on the 12th Zil Haj morning though Rami of 12th Zil Haj is to be completed.

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: I had a problem with urine drops for a few years. Drops would come out for 15 minutes after urinating. A few months ago, it became worse. The drops continue for 15 minutes but when I go to the toilet for istija I urinate again. Many a time, an entire salaah time passes like this. However, at times, an entire Salaah time (like Maghrib) will pass without me urinating a second time, even though the drops continue for 15 minutes. I then experience the 'second urination' in the next Salaah time. Could Mufti saheb please clarify for me what is my condition and if i remain ma'zoor all the time or not?
