Woman Bleeding Whilst Fasting
Q: I had a period of 7 days. I was bleeding on my 7th day but bleeding stopped by sehri of the 8th day. I took ghusal and started fasting but during the day, I bled little bit.

Fasting in Sha'baan
Q: I have heard that on Lailatul baarat it is sunnat to fast on 13, 14, and 15th Shabaan. Is it also mustahab to fast on the 15th only. Can one fast on the 14th &15th only?
Uncertainty Regarding Swallowing Blood Whilst Fasting
Q: I have a disease of bleeding gums and there will be little blood in my mouth. I can’t keep on spitting whilst I am in the office and after I get up from sleep. When I spit there will be some blood on it, so I don’t know whether I had swallowed it or not. If it is swallowed while sleeping, will my fast be invalid? Are there any excuses?

If so, what is the monetary value (roughly) of the daily Fidyah amount?
