Q: Please advise me. My husband and I are having many marital problems for the past +- 1 & 1/2 years. It's mainly because of my husband's phone. I spoke to him on many occasions but he doesn't want to change. He doesn't show love to me as well. At the moment we are not on talking terms. We only speak what is necessary. The hadith that mentions something to the effect, that the angels curse a woman whose husband is displeased with her and her ibaadah is not accepted, will I fall under this hadith? I am very worried, if my ibaadah is not accepted then how will my duas,tilaawat etc benefit me? Can Mufti Saheb please advise me.

Q: Due to some medication I was taking. Spots were developing inside the anus. Because of which after passing stool and doing istinja, I would notice stains of stool when checking with a tissue. Even after a couple of hours if I were to check there would still be stains of stool when touching the exterior of the anus with a tissue. I can’t say if I was ma’zoor or not as I don’t know how long the stool leakage would last. Also, I’d have to take into account other factors such as the type of food I ate. This lasted for about 10 months when I stopped taking the medication. I wasn’t aware of this stool leakage until about 9 months. The understanding of this only came after speaking to a doctor. My question is what is the condition of all the prayers I have performed? Taking into account the many months where I was unaware. After washing my bottom it would be wet and stool would still be leaking. So the water would mix with the stool and go onto the pants etc. It is like washing the penis without doing istibra.
