Haiz, Istihaazah & Nifaas

Q: Could you please explain in detail what is Haiz and Istihaadha. According to my knowledge Menstruation period is called  Haiz. According to Hanafi Fiqh how many days we need to consider for Haiz?

Q: If a woman has her monthly period during her stay in Makkah or Madinah during Umra, is it completely impermissible for her to enter the Sacred Mosque in Makkah or the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah? It seems most of the scholars are of the opinion that it is impermissible. How do women get around this problem? Thousands of Muslims go to Umra every year and yet I have never heard anyone bring up this problem, surely not all the women who go to umra are off their menses yet you hardly ever hear of a woman staying in her hotel room due to her menses, instead they enter the masaajid as freely as their men companions.

Q: If the cycle is 5 days and the last bit of liquid came out before zuhr on the fifth day and the woman only made ghusl after esha because she was waiting to see that everything stopped completely, does she have to make qadaa for all of the salaah for that day?

Q: If zawaal is at 12 pm and haiz begins at 2pm does a woman have to make qadaah for that days zuhr salaah(first day of haiz)?

Q: When a woman experiences haidh, once the blood stops flowing a little pinkish liquid comes out and lastly the last bit of liquid that comes out perhaps on the last day of a 5 day cycle for example is brownish in colour. at what stage exactly does a woman consider the haidh to be finished?

Q: When a woman is unclean can she do the following:
1. Listen to Quran on MP3.
2. Recite darood.
3. Recite istagfaar
4. Recite verses of Quran from her memory.
5. Can she recite this silently and audibly?

Q: I am a mature female. When I go to the bathroom I see different amount of liquids in my under clothing. The colour is anywhere from yellow to white. How much liquid would not break my wudhu? Also Salaah is difficult because I go to work and I cannot keep making wudhu and changing my clothing due to the liquids for each Salaah. Also while praying I can feel the fluid coming out. Within every two hours this discharge takes place. What do I do about all this? Am i ma'zur?

Q: My menses started on Monday 30 Aug , it stopped on Sat 4 Sep . I made ghusal on Sunday before sehri ended, and commenced fasting and also performing Salaah. This morning (7th) when I went to the toilet I noticed a light discharge and a clot of blood, should I make ghusal again and are these fasts accepted or should I count these as qadha when I start keeping my qadha fast? Please advise as I have this problem on a monthly basis!

Q: Can one clip ones nails or shave the hair during (any of the days of) ones periods (menses)?
