Hair Extensions etc

This is a question I am asking on the behalf of my wife and some sisters. They heard that it was not permissible for women (or for that matter men as well) to have extension to the hair. The question is this the correct opinion.

The reason they are concerned is that it is a custom among pakistani women to wear "Paranda's" although they are not permenant extensions and are generally used to tie the hear neatly but could easily constitue extension.

Please could you shed some light on this matter.

Please do clear me what does this sweetness mean?if not clearly explained in quran that sweetness is in intercourse then how can v say that it is in intercourse?

Haydh masala

Respected Mufti Saheb, I need advice with a haydh masala. I hope you will be able to help.

A sister, for two to three years now, starts off with 3-4 days spotting, then about 8 days of bleeding. She would make ghusl on the 11th day (of the first day of spotting) and commence salaah while bleeding continues for 3-4 days - and these 3-4 days of hukmi purity were counted toward the 15 clean days - which we now know is wrong.

So on checking her dates since September 2005 we realise she does not have ACTUAL 15 clean days before the next spotting begins, and this we understand is "continuous bleeding".
1. Can you please advice on her course of action as she does not remember dates or the time of the month of her previous regular haydh. She remembers her habit as being 8 days.
2. She did have 1 ACTUAL 15 clean day gap in Nov 2005. What should she do if she suddenly has an actual 15 day gap suddenly?

Please note that lately the spotting continues for 8 days, then proper bleeding starts, so after only 2 days of this she makes ghusl and commences salaat after which bleeding continues for 6 more days. So in total she bleeds for 16 days and and on ending, 15 actual clean days do not pass and the next spotting occurs.
hope you will be able to advice soon.
wassalam, b m (london)
