Irregular bleeding

Q: I am a 29 years old woman. I never had a fixed cycle since I got baaligh. Sometimes I bleed after 35 days and next time after 2 to 3 months. Sometimes bleeding continue for 4 days and other times for 6 days. I never know when will I bleed. Bleeding always lasts between 3 to 10 days, means it is never less than 3 days and never more than 10 days. After it stops it never comes before 30 days, but may not come sometimes even for 2 to 3 months. During the days when I am bleeding it also happens many times that I bleed for 3 days, then it stops completely for 1 to 2 days and then again few drops will come sometimes during next 2 to 3 days. I had 2 children, first time nifas bleeding continued irregularly for 55 days stopping in between completely for 3-5 days and then starting again. Second time nifas came 4-5 days only and then 1 or 2 drops used to come sometimes in a day for 20-30 days. This 1 or 2 drops was not coming everyday but only once in 3-4 days. Till now what I do is when I see blood I stop doing namaz and roza and when blood stops I bath and do my prayer. In my second nifas after 5-6 days I started praying and I used to bath and continue with prayers after this drop of blood used to come. Kindly advise me what I should do in this situation during haidh and nifas both please regarding salah, saum and intercourse?

Irregular bleeding

Q: I am going through menopause so I do not have haidh. Two days ago (Monday) I noticed a red stain at fajr time and was completely clear for two days. I put this down to illness. Today (Wednesday) I have completed umrah, hair trimmed etc. however I have noticed a red stain again. However I am still not sure if this is haidh. What should I do? Please let me know ASAP.

Haidh problem

Q: A woman has not got her monthly haidh for more than a year. Two months ago, she had bleeding for 7 days only. She was then clean for 18 days. After 18 days she has been experiencing brown discharge continuously. It will soon be a month that she is in this state. How many days should she regard as haidh and how many days should she regard as istihaadhah? Please explain the ruling if she remains in this state for a few months?

Spotting after the haidh period

Q: My question for today is I did ghusul on 18th of May but from 23rd I am spotting blood and despite spotting blood I was still praying and on 26th I was fasting again despite spotting blood. I told one Muslim lady and she told me my fasting is makrooh so I had to open my fast. I didn't pray on the 26th till the 28th but I did ghusul and I am fasting on the 29th but in the morning again I spotted blood so I just wanted to know am I allowed to fast and pray despite blood spotting or not?

Irregular bleeding

Q: I would like to know if after 6 days of haidh a lady sees no blood. She wakes up on the 7th morning before fajr there is no sign of blood so she performs ghusal and read esha there after she preforms fajr and dourinhg the day has relations with her husband. After her ghusal she starts noticing a discharge with a slight trace of blood. Is this regarded as haidh or not?
