Haiz, Istihaazah & Nifaas

Q: If the discharge color changes and seems lightish brown, does the haiz start or not? Does one need to wait for red flow of blood to count whether haiz started?

Q:

1. Is greenish discharge during haidh also considered as blood?

2. I’m in haidh. Today, whilst using the toilet, a lot of discharge came out and I wasn’t aware (as didn’t feel its release) until I wiped and saw discoloured discharge on my tissue. After washing and wiping, myself, towards the end I decided to wipe against my private area once more and I saw a small amount of dampness and i think a small amount of clear discharge. (I’ve read that discoloured discharge thats considered haidh doesn’t have to be completely discoloured, it can be mixed with both clear and coloured discharge.) I didn’t feel the release of this discharge and I’ve made the assumption that it could be leftover of the discoloured discharge I got a few minutes earlier that I forgot to wipe off. Was this okay of me to assume?

Q: During haidh, when I’m getting yellow discharge, how often should I check if my haidh is over?

Q: For many months I have been spotting every month before 15 days finished. As such I was counting the beginning of my haidh from 15 days. But the spotting continued for the first few days sometimes upto 4/6 days into my haidh. Then only would the bleeding properly start but would thereafter finish after 10 days. So the few days I ws bleeding after 10 days I was counting as it as istihaadha. This continued for about 6 months.

Then I had 2 regular haidh cycles (without spotting in between and remaining within 10 days). Then the problem began again for the last 3-4 months. This current haidh I have been spotting since the 8th day of tuhr. After 15 days the spotting, I kept starting and stopping in bigger patches but the flow did not start. On the 10th day the blood flow began properly and I started having a normal haidh period. I had ghusl on the same day and began salaah even though I am still bleeding heavily.

Questions: How should I calculate my haidh? Which days will be haidh and which will be istihaadhah?

If a similar thing happens again or happens often how should I calculateit ?

Is there any amal I can do that can help regulate my haidh?

Q:

1. If a woman fully intends to fast on the day of Aashura, but haidh starts before it, will she get the reward of fasting on that day?

2. Will she get that reward even if she (being in haidh and knowing that had she been paak she would have abstained from it) eats on the day of Aashura?

3. What can a woman in haidh do to get that reward?

Q: During haidh, I have an issue with spotting towards the end. I have no fixed habit. Sometimes 8, 9 or 10 days.

1. During spotting, how often do I need to check if I am clean? At each Salaah time, or after 24 hours? Sometimes I spot, and then spot again only on the next day.

2. After I make Ghusl, say day 8 or 9, I spot again on day 14. How many days are considered as haidh? Do I fall back onto the previous month's habit?

Q: I would like to know if it is permissible for a woman to read the manzil during haidh?
