Women's Issues

Q: A women is on birth control and the doctor told her if she experiences bleeding before she arrives at the white pills, she shouldn't be concerned, it's completely normal. She wants to find out if break through bleeding is considered as her period. 

She checked a fatwa on your website and it matches her situation. (She’s bleeding after 15 clean days and she’s been bleeding for more than 3 days). 

As per the fatwa, it says that she is on her haiz. 

But the thing is that she knows when her period comes. It comes when she’s on her 2nd white pill. So she knows that's her actual period. Her problem is that if she considers the breakthrough bleeding as her haiz then by the time she does reach her actual period, it won't be regarded as her haiz but rather istihaaza because the breakthrough bleeding did not stop. So she would have to read Salah, Quran, etc., while she’s on her actual monthly period and she doesn’t know if that is correct. 

Does the fatwa apply to her or not because she knows that her period has a fixed time of arrival. Is there a different ruling regarding her situation.

Q: Is a breastfeeding woman allowed to breastfeed her child while on menses?

Q: My daughter is 12 years old and on the 1st of October she had a very light spotting of brownish discharge, then again on the 4th she said she noticed discharge that wasn’t white and nothing again. So she had a ghusl and started her Salaah. She didn’t get anything this month. I’m wondering if the discharge could be due to some other reason maybe and she is not baaligh yet. That was the first time she had any sort of discharge that wasn’t white.
