Irregular bleeding

Q: I have what I think is a huge problem especially with the holy month of Ramadaan coming. I am a married woman who was on the 3 month injection/contraceptive for 4 years, this made me gain weight so I decided to go off the injection and went  on the loop instead. This was in November last year. Since i'm on the loop I've been spotting/bleeding (not a real menstruation) but the sister told me that it would take up to +-9 months to work out. My question is, with me spotting on and off when and how do I know when I'm clean enough to perform salaah and also fast in the month of ramadaan if this continues? When I say I spot on and off, I spot a whole week and clear for like 3-5 days and just continue spotting again. Please advise as to what and how I go about this.

Irregular bleeding

Q: I would like to know what to do when I get my monthly period. For the first 2 or 3 days I get a coloured discharge 1 or 2 times a day thereafter I start bleeding for a few days. How do I calculate my period from the start of the bleeding or discharge. When I see the discharge must I perform salaah. If I see the discharge at one salaah time and for the next few salaah I don't see anything must I make wudhu and perform salaah?

Bleeding for more than seven days

Q: Related to women's periods, if the cycle does not stop after seven days and continues up to 13 days some times, can she make gusl after 10 days
and start namaz and touch the quraan like normal? Sometimes, the cycle stops after seven days and after making ghusal, it later appeares on the 9th day or 10th and continues. Please advise in such a case.

Irregular bleeding

Q: I have a question which I find difficult to explain. I do not know what colour I should consider as haidh?  If I have a discharge that is like pink in colour. Is it haidh? Also if I have this discharge (pinkish) at asr time on Monday and then it's clear and then again I have it on Tuesday at asr time and then it's clear and then only on Wednesday at asr time the discharge is red blood. When do I calculate the start of my haidh?

Discharge before and after haidh

Q: I get my haidh for 10 days. But I get discharges before and after my haidh. I get discharges before 15 days of tuhr is complete then I get my haidh for 10 days (I bleed for about 5-6 days and I get discharges till the 10th day). After the 10th day I still get discharges. There are few days in between that I don't get discharges but most of the time I get discharges. My question is how do I count my haidh? I was told I have to count 10 days haidh 20 days tuhr  and I must re-calculate from the 1st time I got my haidh as 20 days and 10 days, but as soon as I get a clean tuhr I will get my habit from there. I cannot recall having a clean tuhr. I was also told if I bleed during the 20 days even if it is after 15 days it will not be regarded as haidh but istihazaa. Only after 20 days will my haidh start and it will be for 10 days even if I don't bleed or even if I am clean (no discharge, blood, ect) what is the ruling? Is this 20 days 10 days thing right?

Reciting duas and making zikr during haidh

Q: What can a woman can recite during her periods? Can she recite qurani duas? Can she recite duas of prophet ( Sal-Allah ho Ali hay wasalam)? Can I recite la ill aha illa unta subhanaka innii kuntu minuzalemeen during periods? Is there any special permission required to do this dua as I recite it often without wadu (when I'm not in periods) and many times a day without counting. What can we recite when a girls head isn't covered?
