Q: I just became a widow with 3 kids. I am the only breadwinner and was also before the passing away of my husband as he didn't have a job. My question is can I go out and work? I sell at markets and some markets go up to 10 pm at night.

Q: I have started wearing hijab from Baqara Eid of this year. I never thought it would be such a beautiful spiritual experience. I had to do some struggle to start wearing it. Allah's help came in very unexpected way. And he solved all my problems. One thing I can share - Before buying hijab I had one style of hijab in mind. Because of limited cash I got whatever I get with that money. Cloth of my first hijab wasn't good so I returned that to shopkeeper. He brought another hijab for me. And it EXACTLY of same style I had in my mind. When shopkeepers gave me 2nd hijab I didn't realised that it was according to my preference. But when I went to tailor to shorten it's length. He said 2nd hijab is different from 1st hijab so I am charging you more money. Then I realised that I got hijab according to my liking. This made me realise sometimes we forget what we want but Allah don't forgets about our wants. That's was really very amazing. And because of this I become more serious about hijab. My parents don't know about it. And I can't tell them now. So I wear and remove it outside. I wear hijab in a commercial building (in washroom) near my house. It is commercial building so no one particularly notice me because many people come and go. It also crowded (I live in India-Population). So it is also safe for me. On the way to home and till I reach the commercial building I am not in hijab. So is there something wrong about it? I try to not look attractive when I am not in hijab. Like I don't wear earnings, tie my hair up in bun.. I try do my best. Tell me if this wrong. Someone said I am making fun of Islam. And I cant be without hijab once I start wearing it. And please guide me how I can improve. 

Q: Can you please tell me the duration of my period . I have heavy bleeding for 4 days.Then next 2 days i have light bleeding. On the 7th and 8th day, i notice blood when i wipe tissue paper, but it may happen that on these two days, bleeding comes interrupted. For example i have bleeding at 6:00 am, then on 08;00 am, it stops. Then again at 10:00 am bleeding happens. It continúes for 2 days. On 9th day i see no bleeding. So can you please tell me the length of my períod?And what should i do on the last two days when bleeding comes interrupted?

Q: On the 8th day of my period, during fajr time I saw complete dryness. So I did ghusl and offered prayer. But the next morning, I again saw blood.

Note that my usual habit of period is 8 to 9 days. Should I consider that my period is still going on?

Q: Can a woman who is on her period read the Quran to do ruqyah on herself? What if she only wishes to read Surah Fatiha, Ayatul Kursi, the last 2 verses of Suratul Baqarah and the last 3 Surah of the Quran?

Q: As per aadat, I took a bath on Wednesday 29 November to get paak, afterwards I noticed that I am not paak. There was a slight change in color, was not completely white. Then the next day November 30 I remained in doubt- to pray or not to pray, but finally took bath and started praying, I prayed asar, magrib, Isha and so on. Now on December 14, at fajar time I experienced bleeding. Is this haidh or istihaza?

Q: Am I still a married woman after my husband gave me talaaq-e-rajee? I completed my iddah, but he refuses to divorce me from our civil marraige.
