Rulings on Qadha prayers and ghusl after a cycle
Salam, maybe the sisters will be able to better answer these questions on what the rulings are on qadha prayers and ghusl (I follow Sayed Ali Al Sistani).
Specifically when I know my cycle has ended but haven’t done ghusl yet. For example if my period ended around fajr but I don’t do ghusl until after Isha, am I obligated to pray dhuhr-isha qadha?
Similarly, if I got my period between asr and maghrib but haven’t prayed fajr-asr yet, am I obligated to pray them qadha since it was before getting my period? maybe this is an obvious one but it’s hard to remember after ending a weeklong cycle.
Now regarding ghusl. My cycle normally doesn’t prolong 5 days, and even on my 5th day my bleeding is VERY minimal. There are times where I do ghusl on my 5th day after assuming I’ve been dry for a couple of hours, but then I’ll see very little spotting only when I wipe with toilet paper. My apologies for being so descriptive, but it seems to be discolored discharge, never red like blood but always a dark brown mixed with discharge. And again this only shows when I wipe, it’s never on my underwear. Is my ghusl invalided in this case?
