Question

yesterday I took my sehri performed fajar prayer and read quran in morning, and slept again. At 9 o clock when I woke up I saw it was spotting like my periods though my periods just over a week ago so I kept my roza for the whole day but spotting was continuous whole day. So is my roza still valid or do I need for qaza or will be I sinful as I continued my fasting? As I was in doubt ?

If somebody took medicines by which menstrual cycle disturbs and come before time so are these periods count as normal periods? During these periods can we perform namaz and roza in these periods

1) If you had your periods more than a week ago, this spotting will be Istihaaza. It will not be Haiz. Fasting during Istihaaza is valid.

2) The menstrual cycle that came before time due to taking medication will be treated as normal menses on condition that there is a 15 day separation from the last menstrual cycle and the present one.

How does a woman with irregular bleeding (istihaadha) pray?

“If after the 7 days, she still experiences spotting, then she should wait as this can be part of her haiz (since it is within 10 days). She should not perform any salaah in this time.”

Must a woman make up salaah missed during her menses?
