Q: As an inexperienced youngster, if I need advice regarding something, not a fiqh aspect and nothing to do with halaal and haraam, but just personal advice that I wish to seek from elders... preferably people with deeni knowledge, can I send an email to more than one Mufti or Moulana that I trust? Not to cause differences or confusion amongst people but just simply to understand the different wisdoms and advices that each one can give that could potentially greatly benefit me.
Q: Sometimes I go straight to prayer after I make wudu and some left over water from my face falls into my mouth. I heard that drinking during prayer invalidates prayer. Apparently I did not deliberately drink the water that falls from my face into my mouth and it is almost impossible for me to stop myself from swallowing it along with my saliva once it gets into my mouth. What should I do?
Q: I am taking a class that goes from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm. Hence it covers asr and maghrib prayers. The class is located far away from where I live. In order to maintain purity (wudhu) for both prayers (there is no cleaning facility at the class location) I used to hold myself not to urine during the entire 3 hour session. Hence for both prayers, especially for the maghrib prayer, I am exerting a huge effort not to let anything come out during the prayer (3 hours are very long). Is my prayer valid?
In addition, even though I tried my best, I cannot guarantee that my pants is 100% clean when I start praying as it is possible that some urine come out while I was in the classroom (that is outside the prayer, before it starts). Does this possible impurity affect my prayer? I almost did my best but I really don't know if my prayers are valid.
