Q:
1. Are cats paak?
2. Is it permissible to allow them around the house without bathing or washing them? Can we trust that the cats clean themselves and our house remains paak. I have cats and notice sometimes they do not immediately clean themselves after using the liter box so I’m unsure if they are making the house unclean. What do we do if we notice cat faeces anywhere in the house?

Q: My husband and I are disagreeing on something. So basically my husband has friends that are non-Muslim which I dont have a problem with. However my problem is that my husband and them pass their cigarettes around. In my opinion, I say it's wrong as they are non-Muslims and they drink and so on, so their saliva should not touch my husband's mouth. However, my husband feels that I am being unrealistic and it's not their saliva that's touching the cigarettes, it's only their lips. I still feel that's not right. Please advise what is the correct way for this.
