Wudhu

Masah of the head

Q: When making wudhu, how should the fingers be positioned during masah of the head? I have heard some ulama saying masah of head should be made with all 5 fingers with an open hand, or some say masah of head should be made with 3 fingers (middle ring and baby fingers). Please advise.

White discharge of women

Q: Could Mufti Saab please advise me on the following masaail regarding the normal (whitish/yellowish) discharge of a woman which she has no control over and which is experienced many times in a day.

1.Will it break her wudhu?

2. Will her wudhu break each time she experiences it even if it occurs 5 times in one salaam time?

3. When will her clothing be regarded as impure?

4. If wudhu does break each time and she was under the impression that the rule of this discharge is the same as the rule of a mazoor will she have to read qadhaas for all the salaahs she may have read in this condition (even when some Ulamaa are of the opinion that this discharge will not break her wudhu)?

5.If Mufti Saab's opinion is that her wudhu will break, how should she maintain radhaa with this fatwah (as it is very difficult to make wudhu so often)?

Women's discharge

Q: With regard to the discharge ( clear / white in colour) that a female experiences during her tuhur period:

1. Does she have to make a fresh wudhu for each salaah time if she does not experience discharge at each salaah time. Sometimes even a day will pass with
no discharge.

2. Does the discharge have to be removed at each Salaah?

Performing Salaah with a wound

Q:

  1. I had a scratch on my knee which I thought was almost healed. However, at the end of the day, I noticed many small spots (which I assume was discharge from the wound) on my pants and kurta around the knee area. I do not know when this occurred, but it is likely that some of the discharge occurred while performing sajdah. Do I have to repeat all salaah/tilaawat for that day?
  2. If one covers a wound with a bandage, and blood may or may not flow onto the bandage, would it be permissible to perform salaah in that condition, or does one have to be certain that the bleeding has stopped?
  3. Referring to (2), can one lead the salaah in that condition?

Wudhu breaking through touching one's wife according to the Shafi'ee mazhab

Q: A shafi follower makes wudhu according to Shafi'ee fiqh and then mistakenly touches his wife without any piece of cloth in between, and this person knows that according to the Hanafi maslak his wudhu did not break and goes and prays fardh salah according to Shafi'ee fiqh without renewing the ablution (to make his life easy). Will his Salaah be valid as he is basically a Shafi'ee. Note that he does not do this all times it occurs very rarely?
