The answer to your question is as follows:
If there is no Sunnat Namaz after Farz Namaz, it is masnoon to recite ‘Tasbih-e-Fatimi just after farz. But if there is sunnat namaz after Farz as in Zuhr, one should recite Tasbih Fatimi after sunnah namazs.
(قوله إلا بقدر اللهم إلخ) لما رواه مسلم والترمذي عن عائشة قالت «كان رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - لا يقعد إلا بمقدار ما يقول: اللهم أنت السلام ومنك السلام تباركت يا ذا الجلال والإكرام» وأما ما ورد من الأحاديث في الأذكار عقيب الصلاة فلا دلالة فيه على الإتيان بها قبل السنة، بل يحمل على الإتيان بها بعدها؛ لأن السنة من لواحق الفريضة وتوابعها ومكملاتها فلم تكن أجنبية عنها، فما يفعل بعدها يطلق عليه أنه عقيب الفريضة.

The answer to your question is as follows:
One should wear proper clothing while praying namaz. Allah says in the Quran: O Children of Adam! Take your adornment while praying. It means one should dress up for namaz and adopt clothing that is interpreted by Islamic scholars as being in accordance with the teachings of Islam.
Secondly, wearing a garment against its proper form is also disliked. Therefore, praying in half sleeved garment without any proper reason is Makrooh (disliked).

The answer to your question is as hereunder:
The bounty of Allah is showering on us each moment and we have to thank Allah for His uncountable bounties on us as much as we can.
It is not allowed to fix a date or time to remember Allah’s bounty on someone, because we don’t know if our actions were acceptable in the sight of Allah.
Thus, to celebrate one’s birthday, to believe in it, or exchanging gifts on this occasion etc. all are against the laws of Shariah. So, one is obliged to shun these actions.

The answer to your question is as follows:
A woman in period will perform all the hajj rituals except tawaf. A menstruating woman cannot do any kind of Tawaf. Although, if a woman finds no chance to do Tawaf e Ziyarat while it is Fardh, she is allowed to perform only Tawafe Ziyarat even being in period. But there must be a penalty on her for this offence. So she must slaughter an animal, such as camel and cow, in the Haram premises. For details, read the Hajj related books.

The answer to your question is as follows:
‘Mubahala’ means cursing each other. Two people or two groups who consider themselves to be right, both plead with each other to the God and want God Almighty to curse the liar so that it becomes clear to everyone which one is on the right path. The incident of Mubahala has been narrated in Surah Al-Imran of the Holy Qur'an that the Prophet of Allah (saws) sent a decree to the Christians of ‘Najran’ in which three things were mentioned in order as follows: (1) embrace Islam (2) pay the jizya (tax) (3) or get ready for war.
The Christians, in consultation with each other, sent Shurahbeel, Abdullah ibn Shurahbeel, and Jabbar ibn Qais to the Prophet of Allah (saws). They came and discussed religious matters until they had a heated argument in proving the divinity of Jesus. At the same time, this verse was revealed about Mubahala. The Prophet of Allah (saws) invited the Christians for Mubahala and they accepted the invitation at that time. But later, they avoided coming to Mubahala because they saw that the prophet of Allah (saws) had brought his closest people, his daughter Fatima Zahra, his son-in-law Imam Ali, his grandchildren Hassan and Hussain etc.
So Shurahbeel said to his two companions, "You know that this is Allah’s apostle. If we argue with the prophet of Allah (saws) then certainly it will destruct and ruin us. So find another way of salvation. Finally, they accepted the offer of peace and thus the prophet's legitimacy was revealed to all. (Maariful Quran: 2/85)

The answer to your question is as follows:
A woman in period is not allowed to enter the Masjidul Haram. Hence she should do all rituals and abstain from doing tawaf being in period. When she gets pure, she will have to do tawaf even after 12 Dil-Hajj. And there shall be no penalty on her for this delay.

The answer to your question is as follows:
There maybe two ways to seek help from anyone other than Allah. (1) Believing that he has the absolute power to do whatever he wants. This is polytheism and disbelief. In the same way, in the case of non-God, if it is believed that God has given him all the authority and he can do whatever he wants then this is also shirk which is unlawful and haram. Only Allah Almighty has the power to fulfill all needs of a person. He is the one and only who can ease the difficulty and grant the desires of all creatures.
(2) Seeking help from the people in the affairs that can normally be fulfilled by human beings. There is nothing wrong in the same.
Nevertheless saying ‘Ya Ghaus-al-Madad or Ya Ali-al-Madad’ is shirk. It must be avoided.
