Q: What is the time period for the various types of iddat i.e. the iddat of a woman who is divorced or a woman whose husband has passed away?

Q: I am in iddat. My husband passed away on the 11th of October. I am above 65. My daughter has four small kids. Her husband is leaving for a week. She will be alone so can I go and stay there for a week?

Q: I would like to know if there is any reward for the discomfort and pain experienced on account of istihaaza.

Q: My aadat for nifas is 40 days and for haiz it keeps on changing but is always between 4 to 7 days. I delivered a baby on 16 september. I bled for 20 days, then because of 3 c sections I had copper t inserted on 24 october, bleeding started on 25 october and continued till 3 november. I am myself a doctor and I know that irregular bleeding is a side effect of copper t for first 3 months. I started bleeding again on 21 November only for 2 days. Then after 10 days again some bleeding now started. Which days wiĺl be haiz and which istihaza? This irregular bleeding is due to copper t as per medical information.

Q: I have a question, one sister recently had a miscarriage of a baby of 7 weeks, and after that during 2 weeks she has been bleeding. I know that just 10 days is the maximum a person is considered napak in the case of Haidh, and 40 days in the case of giving birth, but how is it in this case?

Also there's another sister whose Haidh has altered due to an infection called depropovera, which she used for stopping her Haidh during Hajj. Now she has been bleeding for two weeks, some days it seems that it has stopped but then it comes a lot. Her habitual days was 7 days. So which days are considered Haidh and istihadha?

Q: Should a widow's iddat period be calculated by the Islamic months or the western calendar months (ie. August, September, etc.)?
