Haiz, Istihaazah & Nifaas

Q: If a Hanafi woman bathes from haidh during Asr Shafi time. She will proceed to perform her Zuhr Salaah? Must the Shafi time be taken into consideration.

Q: I prayed zuhr after it had ended because I'm due to begin my period and earlier when I checked my discharge, it seemed somewhat dark but I still wasn't sure. So I kept checking until before asr. However, I delayed it too long and checked only a few minutes before asr was due to start before I decided I felt more inclined towards me not having started my menses as my discharge appeared repeatedly clear. I ended up doing wudu and praying zuhr after asr began (without doing ghusl). Am I sinful?

Q: I usually get my haidh for 10 days, with the last 4 days typically being just light brown spotting here and there. 

This month, on the 7th day, I noticed clear discharge. By the 9th day, I realised that since then, I hadn’t seen any discharge, so I assumed my haidh had ended. I performed ghusl and made qadha of the missed salaah. 

Later that same day, I noticed a small amount of clear discharge again, with a very tiny yellow dot.

When the 10 days were completed, there was still no more discharge. However, after the 10 days were over, I noticed a small amount of brown discharge. 

Do I need to perform another ghusl? Or did my haidh end on the 7th day?

Q: What is the ruling regarding a woman who emits a discharge throughout the month? 

For ±3 days before and after her haidh it is brown in colour. Her bleeding lasts for ±8 days . During the rest of the month her discharge is yellow or white. 

If she regards all coloured discharges as haidh then those days when she is actually bleeding may fall under istihadha?

Q: We seek Mufti Sab's invaluable guidance on whether a hā'iḍah can read and touch the English (or any language) translation of the Qur'ān, such as during Tarjamah study or general kitāb reading (not necessarily from a translation Qur'ān)?

Q: At asr time, one went to toilet and noticed a change of colour in ones discharge however one was unsure whether it was haidh or not. At maghrib time, after breaking the fast; before performing maghrib salaah; one saw that ones haidh had commenced. 

Will this fast be valid or will one have to repeat it?

Q: I wanted to find out, I had my monthly cycle on the 6 January and ended on the 10 January then again started bleeding on the 20 January and ended on the 24 January and now I am bleeding again from the 5 February which ended yesterday and all of a sudden today I started bleeding fresh again. Is it considered a period or a sickness? Can I still continue reading Salaah and Quraan?

Q: What can a woman recite during her haidh?

Q: I suspect that I am pregnant. I saw some pink spotting and regarded it as haidh. The next day I did a pregnancy test which was positive. However I am still not 100% sure that I am pregnant. I am still not experiencing haidh like I usually do. Should I consider myself in the state of haidh ?

Q: A women is on birth control and the doctor told her if she experiences bleeding before she arrives at the white pills, she shouldn't be concerned, it's completely normal. She wants to find out if break through bleeding is considered as her period. 

She checked a fatwa on your website and it matches her situation. (She’s bleeding after 15 clean days and she’s been bleeding for more than 3 days). 

As per the fatwa, it says that she is on her haiz. 

But the thing is that she knows when her period comes. It comes when she’s on her 2nd white pill. So she knows that's her actual period. Her problem is that if she considers the breakthrough bleeding as her haiz then by the time she does reach her actual period, it won't be regarded as her haiz but rather istihaaza because the breakthrough bleeding did not stop. So she would have to read Salah, Quran, etc., while she’s on her actual monthly period and she doesn’t know if that is correct. 

Does the fatwa apply to her or not because she knows that her period has a fixed time of arrival. Is there a different ruling regarding her situation.
