Women's Issues

Irregular bleeding

Q: I have what I think is a huge problem especially with the holy month of Ramadaan coming. I am a married woman who was on the 3 month injection/contraceptive for 4 years, this made me gain weight so I decided to go off the injection and went  on the loop instead. This was in November last year. Since i'm on the loop I've been spotting/bleeding (not a real menstruation) but the sister told me that it would take up to +-9 months to work out. My question is, with me spotting on and off when and how do I know when I'm clean enough to perform salaah and also fast in the month of ramadaan if this continues? When I say I spot on and off, I spot a whole week and clear for like 3-5 days and just continue spotting again. Please advise as to what and how I go about this.

Irregular bleeding

Q: I would like to know what to do when I get my monthly period. For the first 2 or 3 days I get a coloured discharge 1 or 2 times a day thereafter I start bleeding for a few days. How do I calculate my period from the start of the bleeding or discharge. When I see the discharge must I perform salaah. If I see the discharge at one salaah time and for the next few salaah I don't see anything must I make wudhu and perform salaah?

Bleeding for more than seven days

Q: Related to women's periods, if the cycle does not stop after seven days and continues up to 13 days some times, can she make gusl after 10 days
and start namaz and touch the quraan like normal? Sometimes, the cycle stops after seven days and after making ghusal, it later appeares on the 9th day or 10th and continues. Please advise in such a case.
