Wudhu

Toenail reconstruction for a permanently damaged toenail

Q: I am a Muslim woman and have a permanently damaged toenail due to trauma. Although it is not causing physical problems, the appearance of the nail causes me significant embarrassment and distress and affects my confidence. 

I am getting married soon and would like to know whether it is permissible to use a cosmetic toenail reconstruction or similar treatment to restore the appearance of the damaged nail. My intention is not simply beautification, but to conceal and correct a defect that resulted from injury and that causes me considerable emotional distress. 

If such a treatment forms a layer over the nail, how would this affect the validity of wudu? Is there any allowance in this situation, or would it need to be removed for wudu?

Drinking the leftover water of wudhu whilst standing

Q: What is the ruling of drinking the leftover water of wudhu (fadl wudhu) whilst standing? 

In Dars Tirmizi (vol. 1, pg. 259) — taken from Duroos Madaniyya of Moulana Husain Ahmad Madani رحمة الله عليه — it is mentioned that Ibn Abidin (al-Shami) did not regard it as mustahabb, and that the ahadith on this issue cannot be used to establish istiḥbab. 

However, in Fatawa Mahmoodiyyah (vol. 8, pg. 123) the words of Ibn Abidin (al-Shami) in Radd al-Muhtar are quoted as proof that drinking fadl wudhu whilst standing or sitting is mustahabb. 

My questions are: 

1. According to the Hanafi madhhab, is drinking fadl wudhu mustahabb or not? 

2. What is the correct position of Ibn Abidin (al-Shami) in this matter? 

3. If it is mustahabb, is it specifically recommended to drink it while standing, or is sitting still better? 

4. How should the apparent contradiction between Duroos Madaniyya/Dars Tirmizi and Fatawa Mahmoodiyyah be reconciled?
