Dream

Q: I saw this dream. I live in USA. I am married with kids. I saw that I was in a car accident. There were many cows around the accident. One of the cows caused the accident and then fell on top of the car. This caused all the windows of the car to shatter and lot of the glass from these windows entered my body. It seemed like glass pieces were in my arms legs all over my body. I was taken to the emergency room.

My mother in Pakistan saw a similar dream that I ate something and I got lot of measles or pimples on my body and I had to go to Pakistan and she cared for me so I could get cured.

Any advice or tabeer on this would be appreciated.

Difficulty in performing Salaah after a rectal operation

Q: A 87 year old male is permanently taking over 7 different medications, including insulin injections twice daily. After he had rectal operation to remove cancer, he cannot control his bowel and bladder very well. Before this he prayed 5 times daily. The situation is this:

He has to visit the toilet frequently for bladder and bowel. His clothes always have some napaaki on them. He is not fit and healthy enough to perform istinja/ wuzu without making more napaaki. He is only able to have full bath/change clothes every 1 or 2 weeks. He can do istinja/ wuzu and change clothes for Eid prayer, but not daily. Besides this, he is alright and looks fit and healthy for his age, he has no other mobility problems, and we thank only Allah for this.

Mufti Sahib, so if (1) istinja/ wuzu is a problem and (2) changing clothes frequently is also a problem, both problem are affecting this person. What is the ruling regarding salah, i.e. Taharat, tiyamum etc?

He has not read namaz for past 12 months due to these issues, but he desperately wants to read namaz.
