Unable to perform wudhu and fajr due to illness

Q: My issue is that I have been suffering from major depressive disorder, panic attacks and anxiety since few years, I have also been seeking multiple treatments from Psychiatrists, Homeopaths etc. However over the years my behavioural disorders has progressed and the situation has gotten very complex, I am seeking a fatwa for 2 major issues which affect my obligatory worship and what should I do in this condition.

a. My first issue is not being able to offer Fajr prayers as I am also suffering from a sleeping disorder despite being on 2 tranquilizers I have to go bed at 10 pm. If I delay further my situation worsens similarly I cannot force myself to wake up at an appointed time and I usually get up around 7 AM, then after getting up I offer Qaza of Fajr, I have tried forcing myself but It leads to dizziness, confusion, mild seizures and trembling.

b. My second issue along with many other issues of abnormality is usage of water. Since my condition has worsened, my immunity has dropped and I regularly catch cold and flu every other week which gets very severe and occasionally leads to fever and even more weakness that too when I am not using water, I have tried again and again to use water for bath and ablution but I end up with extensive sneezing, cold and bouts of flu. Am I Allowed to perform Tayammum in this condition for achieving cleanliness and ablution till this condition remains? Similarly I can’t remain for long in an airconditioned environment and end up with the same above problems.

Having mentioned the above 2 issues, I am also looking to seek further treatment in order to get the above issues resolved In Sha Allah, however meanwhile I need to know what should I do. I get different opinions from different people which further confuses and stresses me out.

Further in this condition, I also suffer from muscle weakness, eating disorder and severe digestive issues. I also request you to sincerely pray that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala heals me and my condition gets normal also kindly advice me if I can seek any kind of cure through Quran or Duas as I am also Hafiz of Quran. 

Urine incontinence in ihraam

Q: I'm going for Hajj this year Insha Allah. I have a problem of urine drops leaking after urinating and this problem can stay for over an hour after passing urine. This problem has also affected me to perform Salaah sometimes since I feel I'm always unclean. Since I have planned for hajj, I am worried how I will stay in ihraam for such a long time with this problem? I want my my hajj to be accepted and want it to be perfect. Please advise what should I do since I am very worried.

Doubts regarding impurity

Q: My two questions are below:

1. When I shop at a butcher or other store I often find that even though the store is muslim owned they often have non-muslims helping to pack the bought stuff. On a few occasions I found that when they packing my stuff which is often frozen and therefore wet/moist they first lick their fingers to open the packet, therefore their hands have their saliva and then they touch my bought items which are wet. Does this then make my bought items napaak as I am not sure if their saliva is paak?

2. My aunt lives in a complex, near the entrance gate the floor is always wet as the cleaners sometimes clean the front area and also the residents throw the water they use to clean their homes out in the front. My aunt also mentioned to me that the sewage pipe is near the gate and it sometimes leaks. Therefore I never know the source of the wetness on the floor. When I visit and walk on this wet area (it is hard to avoid as the whole entrance is wet), I am not sure whether my shoes and everywhere I walk thereafter with my shoes are becoming napaak. Please can you advise what I should do in this situation?

Cleaning a soiled sofa

Q: My neice diaper leaked and i did not know... I allowed her to sit on the sofa and as soon as she sat, a spot appeared on the sofa, I asked her to get up and changed the diaper. As a precaution I wiped the place with surf and then with a wet cloth. The next day I cleaned the sofa by pouring water over the spot three times. Has it become paak because my mother offers prayers by sitting on that sofa thats why I am concerned? Plus the water reached on the lower part of the sofa which becomes a bed. Does that part become napaak as I read somewhere that if you clean something with a jug of water, the water which flows is napaak? Keeping in mind it was just a spot which did not go on the lower part of the sofa. Also explain for the future how to clean a sofa matress, etc. if a child urinates on it?

Cleaning the blood and pus after bursting a pimple

Q:

1. Is it necessary to wash the area from where a blackhead is removed?

2. I often get pimples on my face and other parts of my body I heard that the pus that comes out of the pimple is impure, does it means that I have to wash the area after it came out or just remove it with the help of tissue paper? If it is necessary to wash then if a pimple burst on my right cheek or forehead, how to wash it (just put some water on that area or to wash my whole face). 

3. Sometime blood also comes after the pus and after it stops a white water like fluid comes out what is ruling about it? Do I have to wash it or just use tissue paper to remove it?

4. Often pimple burst while taking ritual bath (Ghusal) What to do then? Sometimes blood or pus takes a lot of time to stop i.e. it keeps coming out in small amounts, what to do then?
