Day Questions

Is the iddah period obligatory on a woman who used birth control pills during her previous marriage?

If the marriage was consummated then observing ʿiddah is obligatory in all cases.

If somebody in our family passed away, what are the supplications which one should recite for the departed soul?

There is no specific narrated supplication for the deceased but it is better to remember him by praying for his forgiveness. Also, it is better if one were to perform some good deeds on his behalf like certain worships and charities as this will benefit him, God willing.

There is some kind of colorless liquid that is discharged from one's penis, which could possibly be semen; what are the signs of semen?

The signs of semen are sexual excitement, forceful ejaculation and tepidity. If none of these signs is present - for a healthy human - then the discharge will not be considered to be semen. If the man was asleep during the discharge, then the two signs of sexual excitement and forceful ejaculation are sufficient to deem the discharged substance to be semen and najis. For somebody who is ill, such ejaculation with merely sexual excitement will be sufficient to regard it as semen.

If during the first day of the menstruation a woman has menstrual bleeding, and then no bleeding for two days, and the following day she sees the bleeding for two days again, is it necessary for her to observe the rules of menstruation during the clear days?

In this situation, the woman should have the ghusl of menstruation and she offer the prayers during the clean days. If she did not do so then she must offer the prayers as qadha. She should consider the periods of bleeding as menstruation, even if they were separated by clean periods.
