Watching Television

Q: While watching romantic scenes of movies some fluids comes out from my private part and I think it gets transferred to my clothes and bed sheets also. How should I wash these clothes to make it paak? If I cannot trace where in the bedsheet the fluid got transferred then what should I do? Do I have to wash the whole bed sheet or should I leave it? If the fluid gets dried and after sometime I sit on the bed sheet with my wet clothes, will my clothes get napaak?

Disobedient children

Q: I am a single parent and have two kids a boy and a girl. Both of them are very disobedient. They keep on fighting for little things. Everybody gets irritated of them... both have violent and destructive natures. They do not tolerate each other at all. In short both are mannerless and don't want to understand anything. I have made them understand politely and harshly in both manners. The result is the same. In short they let me down in front of everyone due to their violent speech and behaviour. Kindly help me and guide me!
