Women's Issues

Q: When my period ends and the time for salah is still there, I understand that the specific salah of that time is obligatory to read. I have more of an inclination to believe that this is what I did in the past months where my period ended - before I had learnt of this fact and I’d like to think that even if my period had ended and I didn't have enough time to do ghusl and read salah in the time, I still did qadha but because I’m not 100% sure, do I have to make qada of all the previous months on the day in which my period ended to be sure or can I leave it?

Q:

1. What are the restrictions of iddat for a women?

2. Are the restrictions of iddat same for women of both the types of iddats i.e iddat due to death of the husband and iddat due to divorce?

Q: In the past I never really paid attention to making up prayers that I missed due to the adhan beginning before I was able to read that prayer.

I forgot the ruling (e.g. if menses stops at isha then pray maghrib and isha and if menses begins at zuhr and one hasn't prayed it, then they have to make it up later).

I’m going to make up the prayer I missed for the recent menstruation cycle I had. Am I allowed to forget about the ones I might have missed in the previous months? It would require me to have to look at past prayer times from different timetables and make estimates and I may have to make up a lot of prayers.

Q: I'm in haidh and today I saw a discharge that appeared both yellow and clear, but it seemed to look more clear. so I decided to do ghusl. Is this correct?

Q: I normally get my haidh on a Thursday which is tomorrow but this month I saw some spotting on Tuesday which was yesterday and today there isn't anyting. Considering I expect my haidh to start tomorrow, do I read salaat or not? 

Q: Someone wants to wear the niqaab for long time but keeps getting put off. She is 60 years old. Is it compulsory for her to wear niqaab. She does wear cloak and scarf.

Q: It is not permissible to shave underarms during periods, what is the ruling for shaving moustache or other facial hairs ?

Q: I would like to clarify Mufti Sahebs opinion on girls attending universities and going a step further and encouraging them to do so. The reason why we are asking is because of Ml Ebrahim Bham of the Jamiatul Ulama who promotes this in public gatherings and Ulama groups as recent (as the day before yesterday).

Many Ulama and students of Deen are confused in this matter and other matters as they say Ml refers his matters to Hazrat Mufti Saheb and visits the madrasah occasionally.

Q: I study in a co university. Yesterday was my first class. A guy came and sat next to me. He seem to know nothing about using the computer and kept asking me questions. Is it permissible to help na mahram regarding studies with no impure intentions? Also, he was sitting really close to me. Is that haram?

Q: My haidh started on November 7. I was paak either on 14 or 15 November (I do not remember which, and my habit is 7-8 days). Today, on November 28, a little before Fajr, I started bleeding again. Is this haidh or istihaadah? Do I have to pray or not?
