2- If the woman in the month of Ramadan menstruated two hours or less before the time of maghrib, would her fast be invalidated.

A: Her sawm would e invalidated.

3- If a woman became clean from her period [hayd] at a time which is neither enough for ghusl nor for tayammum, then what is the ruling?

A: In the given question, her sawm of Ramadan is correct.

4- What is the ruling of the woman who has an excessive [kathirah] or medium [mutawassitah] istihadah?

5- What is the ruling of intentionally remaining on the hadath of menstruation [hayd] or puerperium [nifas], until the morning during the month of Ramadan and its qada?

A: Its ruling is just the same if one remained intentionally on the state of janabah i.e. the sawm is void and both qada and kaffarah would be obligatory upon her.

A: In other than the sawm of Ramadan and the qada of it, it would not harm the correctness of the sawm.

7- Would forgetting to do the ghusl of haydh and nifas invalidate all types of sawm?

A: It would not harm her sawm even if it was the sawm of Ramadan or its qada.
