Blood going down the throat unknowingly

Q: My gums are sensitive and bleed when I brush my teeth. I try to not swallow when my gums are bleeding however some saliva goes to my throat and since, short of actually throwing up, it would be quite difficult to get that back up and out, I end up swallowing whatever escapes to my throat. Also, my gums tend to continue bleeding (very lightly) for hours afterwards and not swallowing at all for that long seems near impossible. I don't swallow whatever remains in my mouth, and I try to not let it go to my throat. Am I sinning?

Frequent nose bleeds

Q:

1. If one has frequent nosebleeds and wipes inside his nose with a tissue until one sees no more blood on the tissue, then later clear mucus comes out, is the mucus impure?

2. Is one allowed to sniff mucus into the throat at this point?

3. After this, does the person have to rinse out their nose before making wudu?

4. Also, when rinsing out nose after a nosebleed, does one have to blow their nose or can they just let the water flow out (when blowing inevitably leads to impure water spraying everywhere)? Is it okay to rinse it out just once?

5. Lastly, if the water one draws up the nose goes into the mouth/throat, does one have to wash the nose again? Does one have also wash the mouth, if they feel the water go into the mouth?

Bleeding after nifaas

Q: I recently had my 3rd baby and on the 25th day started prayers after taking ghusl as the bleeding had stopped. But on the 40th day the bleeding started and thinking that periods have started I stopped praying but the bleeding stopped by evening. I waited one day to confirm and when the bleeding didn't come took ghusl and started praying. But after 2 days again the bleeding started. This time also it stopped by evening. I have not yet taken ghusl as don't know what to do. Please let me know if it's nifaas or haiz or something else. And should I wait further or take ghusl and start praying? What about prayers missed?

Bleeding gums

Q: I very recently had my wisdom teeth removed, and will have another one removed in the next few weeks. After my tooth was surgically removed, it bled continuously for hours (after such procedures, there is continuous bleeding expect for 24-48 hours). Now, I know it is not permissible to swallow blood, however I cannot continuously rinse my mouth, in fact rinsing and spitting to harshly after such surgery can lead to dry sockets which are very painful. I also find it very difficult not to swallow for such a long time (it seems practically impossible for me). What should I do about the blood in this situation? (Note that this is not a small amount of blood). Also, so far I have been praying by having a good supply of tissue in my hand or on the ground next to me and spitting the blood out onto those as I pray. Is this acceptable? Lastly, how do I eat in this situation (when whatever I eat will no doubt mix with the blood in my mouth)? Thank you so much for your help. May Allah bless you.

Finding blood on one's clothing after making ghusal

Q: Whilst doing compulsory ghusl, you get a cut from a razor when removing hair from private parts and you realise this after few hours only due to seeing some tiny spots of blood on underwear, then is the ghusl and all the namaz prayed valid? Should one repeat the ghusl and namaz? I'm not sure if this was flowing. The tiny spots of blood would equal to a small amount of blood less than a coin however, the spots were scattered over an area of the underwear and this area could potentially exceed the coin size.

Seeing blood on one's finger after performing Salaah

Q: I wanted to ask that, I must have bled a little from my finger which I didn't know about. I saw it after I put clean clothes away and it seemed dry. I don't know if this blood touched my clothes that I was wearing or the clean clothes I put away or anything I my have touched and with most clothes being black it's hard to tell.

1. Please can you tell me if I need to wash the clothes again or would they be considered pure?

2. Is my namaz counted in the same clothes I was wearing?
