Making up for missed prayers after periods
I couldn’t wake up for Fajr and when I intended to make up for it, my periods started. It was already the time Zuhr by then. Now do I need to make up for the Fajr Salat after periods? And what about the Zuhr Salat?

I had period cramps and a yellow brownish vaginal discharge. I read somewhere that this is part of the menstruation since it was time for my menstrual
cycle and therefore I didn't pray salah.
**Should I have prayed salah?** I was confused whether I'm on my period or not.
I took a gusul and later didn't get any further discharge.
**Also should I have to make up for the missed prayers ?**

This year was the first year I fasted for all of Ramadan and have been praying consistently. I was not aware that once a girl sees her period that fasting and praying become mandatory. Do I have to make up the prayer and fasts that I missed even though I was didn't know I was supposed to?

Alternatively, I can re-frame the question to ask what actions are allowed like passing through a mosque, flight between Safa and Marwa, reading the Qur'an from memory.

Can a woman recite the Qur'an during her menses?
During a recent Jumuah prayer I heard a hadeeth about Abu Hurairah (RAA) > Abu Huraira reported: He met the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, in the road of Medina while he was in a state of impurity. He slipped away and left to take a bath, then he returned. The Prophet said, “O...
During a recent Jumuah prayer I heard a hadeeth about Abu Hurairah (RAA)
> Abu Huraira reported: He met the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, in the road of Medina while he was in a state of impurity. He slipped away and left to take a bath, then he returned. The Prophet said, “O Abu Huraira, where were you?” He said, “I was in a state of impurity and I disliked to sit with you while I am not pure.” The Prophet said, “Glory be to Allah. Verily, the Muslim is not impure.”
Source: Sahih Bukhari 279, Sahih Muslim 371
Immediately after this, the Imam also quoted another hadith where the wife of the Messenger (SAWS), Ayesha (RAA) is reported to have said that the Messenger (SAWS) would **always** be doing dhikr of Allah, which the Imam said, implied that the Messenger (SAWS) would **even be doing dhikr in the state of janaba .**
The Imam was implying that a woman can also read the Qur'an during her menses. Can somebody throw some more light on this, specifically:
1. Can a woman recite the Qur'an from memory during the menses?
2. Can she touch the mushaf while she is in that state and even recite from it?
3. If the answer to (2) above is no, can she read the Qur'an off her smartphone, where she can "turn" the page by touching the screen?
Jazakallahu khairan.

This question made me ask myself:
After an abortion (miscarriage) or an artificial (or induced) abortion a woman usually sees some blood for a couple of days.
As what kind of blood is this bleeding qualified by scholars: as menses حيض (I would exclude this option), childbed bleeding نفاس (nifaas) or as a vaginal bleeding (not menstruation) استحضة (istihaadah)?
