Q: I have learnt that as a precaution when a women has her periods, the area from the navel to the knee should be covered in front of the husband, so that he is not inclined sexually. Is it haraam if any area becomes exposed, or if the husband touches skin to skin any part of the area?
Q: I was 11 and half weeks pregnant and started brownish spotting. I went to the gynae who couldn't find a heartbeat (they refer to it as a missed miscarriage as I had no symptoms of a miscarriage). Few hours later I had a heavy flow and the next morning went in for a d&c (scraping of the womb) please advise if this is istihaaza?
Q: I would like to know if a women is on the pill and her period is due on a monday, if she bleeds a little on the Thursday before and she knows it's not her period (bleeds just for a few hours) must she break her fast and stop reading namaaz? And if a women takes the pill to stop her bleeding during Ramadhaan and she spots a little must she break her fast?
Q: I have irregular menses for the past year. Sometimes whole month and sometimes less than fifteen days between. I have tried to calculate my menses and istihaaza days from memory but I am becoming unsure. Also I perform wudu before every salaah during istihaada but what if I want to engage in quran reading after each salaah? Can I use the same wudu? Also If I engage in quran reading after Asr and then Magrib time arrives must I make new wudu or is the wudu of Asr still valid since I was engaged in quran reading? I am now resorting to taking the pill to help me monitor clean and unclean days according to the active pills and placebos.
Q: If a lady is in haidh, is it permissable for her to cut her nails and hair? It is uncomfortable when it's long.
Q: I am probably in the state of istihaazah but I am bleeding everyday continously for the past 2 months. With Ramadaan coming up I have many questions. Some days my flow is much heavier and some days its just a little, how does this affect my fasts? Please clarify the rules for salaah and reading Quraan as well?
Q: I had got my haiz on friday morning, then for the next +/- 32 hours I only had normal discharge not haiz. Then again it showed blood and thereafter only normal dicharge. Do I consider this as haiz or do I read my salaah?
Q: I had a miscarriage at six weeks and my uterus was surgically cleaned out. What is the status of the bleeding after this?
Q: I would like to clarify whether the following mas’alah is correct:
If a particular woman has a haidh habit of 7 days and 3 days after the expected date of her haidh she began bleeding and she bled until the end of the 12 days then in this case 4 days will be regarded as haidh and the remainder as istihaadha. Thus from the following month her new habit will be 4 days. For example a woman has a habit of bleeding from the 1st to the 7th of every month. During a particular month she bled from the 4th until the 15th. Thus the first 4 days i.e. from the 4th to the 7th, will be regarded as haidh and the remainder will be istihaadha. Thus qadha will be necessary for the days of istihaadha.
Q: Is it permissible for a woman to remove unwanted hair during her menses if the length is more than a grain of rice and a period of 40 days has passed? Will she still be committing a makrooh act?
