Haiz, Istihaazah & Nifaas

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?

Q: I get my haidh for seven days every month but on the 8th day and sometimes on the 9th day I see a yellow discharge. I am not sure whether to consider this as haidh or not because I experience discharge during my clean days sometimes its clear and sometimes it's yellow.

Q: My question is about the brownish discharges. I am on contraceptives and my menstual days are normally seven days. But today is my 11th day but I am having mostly brownish discharge mixed with strings of blood. Am I supposed to be praying now with this discharges? Since my 8th day I should have been praying or should give it till the 15th day?

Q: If a girl got her periods on Saturday morning 11 am- 12pm and on the tenth day which is Tuesday morning her periods end.

1. Can she perform ghusl after fajr or is it necessary to perform ghusl sharp at 11 am?

2. Can the ghusl be performed at any time after fajr or whats the shariah rule regarding it? If the girl wants to fast on Tuesday, can she bath after fajr and keep the nafl fast?

Q: Is it makrooh to cut nails and hairs in the state of haiz?

Q:

1. If I am in the state of haidh, is it a waste of water if I do wudu after istinja? Or if I want to be in a state of wudu? Is it rewarding?

2. If I do wudu before fard ghusl do I have to repeat wudu after fard ghusl? As the wudu made before was during impurity.

Q: Is it compulsory for a woman to perform ghusl once her istihazah has finished?
