Haiz, Istihaazah & Nifaas

Entering The Haramain In The State of Haidh

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.

Salaah For a Woman Who Discharges Continuously

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?

Discharge After Bathing Due to Haidh

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!

Bleeding Due To Taking Pills

Q: I am officially getting married on the 13th July Inshallah. So this month I started to take pills as a contraceptive means. I have to take it for 21 days, and stop 7 days and so on. My period started on the 4th June (we have to start taking pills on the beginning of the period) and finished ten days after (14th June). Today (21st June), I saw a small brown bloodletting. My doctor said that when we take pills, it could happen that we have some bloodlettings between periods. So, my question is: What about wudhu and namaaz? Should I go on performing namaaz until my next period and am I considered like a ma'zur?
