Charging an extra fee for late payment

Q: I go to university and the university have said that the fees for the second semester will be 4000 euros, and they announced a deadline by which the money had to be paid by, and they said that anyone wishing to pay the money after this period of time would have to pay 4000 euros and a small percentage of the original fee on top, and the extra fee that will be paid will increase every day after the deadline day. So for example, if I paid three days over the deadline the university would charge me 4003 euros and if I paid 7 days I would be charged 4007 euros and 8 days would be 4008 euros etc. If i was to pay after their deadline, would this considered to be riba, despite the fact that I am not borrowing money from a bank to pay the fee?

Q: Is it permissible to perform a sajdah tilaawat starting standing up and finishing sitting down? What about starting sitting and finishing standing. I understand starting standing and finishing standing is mustahab. Sitting and finishing sitting is also fine.

Waswasas and doubts

Q: After I had showered I was checking to see if my underwear was wet so I could change it before putting on a new pad. I didn't feel any wetness so I decided to keep it on. But before I washed my hands I touched some clean clothes. I don't remember my hands being wet. What I can't stop wondering what if it was. There was no blood on my hands either that I can remember and the clothes I put back in my closet with other clean clothes. Were the clothes I touched napaak? How do I clean them all? Are the clothes that touched the clothes I touched in my closet now napaak? How am I supposed to clean them? My mom wont let me wash clothes if they haven't been worn. What do I do? Are they all napaak now?

Doubts

Q: When I woke up this morning I checked my phone before I went to the bathroom when I saw dry period blood under my nails. So I washed my hands and under my nails thoroughly to make sure the is no more traces. If I touched things before I washed my hands but my hands were dry did the things I touched like my phone become napaak? Because I have heard things only become napaak through wetness. My phone didn't get wet at all that I can remember. so is it napak? I am a very doubtful person trying to slowly treat my OCD problem but I don't know what to do because I didn't wash my phone and I touched it after a lot during the day. Then the next day I saw some stuff near the main key I touched the day before. I don't know if it was from my hands or it is dust from before and now I don't know what to do? Is my phone napaak? If I touched it did I become napaak? If I touched other things after touching it do they become napaak?
