Q: My grandmother has an umrah trip planned for end of March. But her husband passed away a few days ago (Feb 11). I am aware that iddat is for 4 months ten days but my grandma is 75 years old and I wanted to know if she is able to go to umrah and complete the remainder of her iddat when she gets back or is it not permissible for her to go? I was not aware if age makes a difference.
Q:
1. A girl has a haidh habit of 4 days, but for the past year she has been bleeding for over ten days. Does she have to wait for the full ten days to be over and then make qadha of the 6 days salah, or can she start reading after the 4th day as she is sure that she is going to bleed for more than 10 days?
2. If she thinks her haidh is over after 7 days and makes ghusl and starts reading salah, and then sees blood again on the 9th day and it continues past the tenth day, will the salah she read from the 7th to the 10th day be counted or will she still have to make qadha of them?
Q: I am traveling from Qatar to perform umrah but I have got my periods and I can’t wait until my periods are over as we have our flights booked. What can I do?

Q: There is a cousin of mine that has completed her matric and plans on starting university... I spoke to her about the importance of studying Deen and that a woman's place is not out in the public... She says that she made istikhara and shes very sure that madressa isn't for her at this stage of her life...
She is a very stubborn person by nature and is dead set on going to university, I don't know what else to tell her.
Can Mufti Saheb please advise me on how to go about this... Should I just leave it or should I continue speaking to her (I feel like I'm pestering her)?
Q: A girl experiences a white discharge everyday. When discharge dries it turns yellow. Is this Istihada? Is she considered ma'zoor?

Q: A woman is currently in Makkah Mukarramah. She has completed her umrah etc. and she spotted just once after Zuhr Salaah. Since then, she has not seen any blood or spotting and more than 24 hours have passed. She has completed more than 15 days of tuhr and it could be her haidh. What does she do? Can she perform tawaaf in this condition?
Q: I have a yellow discharge that comes almost every single day and an irregular menstrual cycle. I haven't seen any brown discharge or actual blood for months.
After reading some of the questions and answers from Muftionline, I understood the discharge to be haidh and started calculating 10 days haidh, 15 days tuhr even without seeing any blood.
I was recently informed that only when I see blood or brownish discharge, that will be my haidh. And any yellow discharge after the bloom, until the end of 10 days will be counted as haidh. After that, I must wait for blood again, otherwise never to count the yellow discharge as haidh.

3. If what I was told was correct, do I now have to repeat all my months of salaah missed?
4. Please tell me what to do in a little extra detail.
