ANSWER:

This is not mandatory.

You can only fast on Saturday alone for arafah.

If the day of Arafah is on Saturday in my country then do I have to fast both Friday and Saturday or I can fast on Saturday only?

Shiekh, since the day of Arafat this year is falling on Friday, can we fast just the Friday, or do we have to keep a fast before or after Friday as it not recommended to fast on Fridays alone? Please clarify.

My menses start at the end of each month (or one day or two before or after). It starts with pink/red discharges and then after a few hours or after a day I see the flow of blood. The ending of my menses is the same. After about four days of flowing blood, I see spotting and then in one day, I am pure. Are the spots in my case considered part of my period and I should stop praying/fasting?
