Q: I have learnt that it is makrooh to trim ones nails and remove hair whilst in the state of hadath akbar/janaabat. Will the same apply during ones haiz period?

Q: I need advice. My father in-law has arranged for my wife and his other 2 daughters to go for there drivers licence, Masha Allah. Should he have asked for my permission to proceed with this arrangement, or he has the right to do this without my consent, and further more he arranged that my wife must come to his home in order to go for her lessons, and the mum will fetch her from my place and bring her back. I'm I wrong in questioning my wife, as to why she can't be picked up from my place instead, as I would like to know with who she's going.

Q: I am suffering from heavy bleeding which continues approximately for the whole month. I want to ask is it on 10th day or after 10th day? I may
continue my namaz and tilawat?

Q: May Allah reward you for the good work you provide for our ummah. My question is if a wifes husband passes away does she have to complete her iddat on the excuse of saving her job? The husband has left an amount of R130 000 in the bank account. Wife has about R100 000 in her account. Wifes father Alhamdulilah is quite wealthy and he only has two daughters. All in the family are working and earning. Its a government job. Sshe has the fear that if she stays on for her husbands iddat there "might" be a risk of losing her job. We do know that south africa is a freedom of religion country. We do know that if she does not go to work, there will be enough to take care of her needs in the four months of iddat. If she stays in after looking at all this is she still allowed to leave her iddat for her job?

Q: Can a woman take a pill to delay her haiz to keep all the fasts of ramdhaan?

Q: My question for today is I did ghusul on 18th of May but from 23rd I am spotting blood and despite spotting blood I was still praying and on 26th I was fasting again despite spotting blood.

I didn't pray on the 26th till the 28th but I did ghusul and I am fasting on the 29th but in the morning again I spotted blood so I just wanted to know am I allowed to fast and pray despite blood spotting or not?
