Is there any such thing where it is Makruh for a woman to recite more than 7 verses of the Quran during the days of menses?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is always highly recommended for every Muslim to recite Quran but when a person is in the state of Janabah or a female is in her menses, it becomes Haraam on them to recite the four verses of the obligatory Sajda. Rest of Quranic verses are always allowed and recommended to recite.
The narration of Makrouh for woman in her menses to recite more than seven verses in case it is authentic, does not mean no reward but less reward from the usual situation of purity.

I have heard that it is Makruh to eat the liver or brain from a Halal animal that is otherwise slaughtered correctly? If so, what other parts of the animal are Makruh to eat?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is not Makrouh to eat liver nor brain of Halal animal but it is Haraam to eat the gland inside the brain.

It is Makrouh to eat the kidney of Halal animal, as well as the veins and two small parts of meat out of the heart of the animal which are called the ears of the heart آذان القلب.
