Q: When we are taking wudhu, if before finishing the wudhu, we stop to talk to other people out of necessity or answering phone call for quite some time, do we have to re do the wudhu or can we just continue from where we have stopped? Please answer based on Shafii madhab.
Q: If we wipe our feet with wet hands and don’t actually wash them would it be sufficient to discharge the fard.
Q: Is following the sequence is also a Fard in performing Wudu?
Q: I would just like to know if it is permissible to wear 'peel off nail polish' that you can put on after performing wudhu, and then peel off when you need to make your next wudhu, it peels off easily, also comes off in water. So would it be permissible to use and can you pray salaah with it?
س: "chin" لا أدري كيف هذه الكلمة في العربية و لكن أفهم معناها. هل هو جزء من الوجه، الذي يجب غسله في الوضوء؟
Q: When I make wudhu it takes too long at times as I feel I am not wetting or covering all parts of the limb I am washing. This is also causing the wastage of water. What can I do to ensure that I do not waste water and over wash? If I rub water over my arms or legs 3 times (and try to cover all areas of the arm or leg) but not every single hair gets wet will this count as still being wet and my wudhu accepted? I would say my arms and legs take the longest.
Q: If after washing the face for the 3rd time in wudhu, a beard hair fall out, should that place be washed again? Or if one washed his arm three times and thereafter a piece of skin on his arm peeled off, should the 'new' skin be washed again?
Q: I received the following message on my bbm and I would like to verify the contents before I forward it to anybody as there is no source attached to it.
Q: What is the Islamic ruling on vaginal discharge that females commonly experience? Many ladies are confused about this issue, especially when they get different answers from various Ulema.
A: There are basically three types of vaginal fluid that Shariah has ruled on. Two are mentioned above, viz. Moisture inside the vagina, secreted from membranes that line the vagina, and fluid that flows from the cervix into the vagina. The third type of moisture is that which is found on the outer labia or the lips of the vagina. Sometimes this fluid also flows onto the area outside the vagina. Medically fluids that exit from the vagina can come from the cervix or neck of the uterus, or from glands inside the vagina itself. Sometimes the source of these fluids is attributed to the fallopian tubes. Clearly this is difficult for a woman to determine. Therefore, the following rules, based largely on the view of Imam Abu Hanifa (rahmatullahi alayhi) will perhaps ease matters for our sisters:
1) Moisture that is secreted from the lining of the vagina is a matter of dispute among the former Jurists. Imam Abu Hanifa, and majority of the Shaafi’ Scholars hold that such moisture is paak or clean, and does not nullify wudhu if it flows out. We, therefore, maintain that the normal discharge a women experiences will not nullify wudhu.
2) A ‘normal’ discharge is usually clear, cloudy or whitish, moderate in quantity, thin or slightly viscous, and with a mild odour. This does NOT break wudhu.
3) A discharge that is yellowish or greenish, and very thick, with a strong odour or bad stench should be regarded as impure and will nullify wudhu, for such a discharge is definitely from an area beyond the vagina, and may include the fallopian tubes, the womb, or ovaries.
4) Underwear that is soiled by this fluid has to be washed. Women who suffer excessive discharge of this nature shall have to use pads to absorb the flow and thus protect the underwear.
Q: I have a problem of leaking of pre-coital fluid. This is not regular occurrence i.e. sometimes it happens and sometimes not. Sometimes I feel that there is something, but when I check, there's nothing. I usually check after I perform Salaah. If I was not aware that it has happened and find a stain on my underwear after Salaah, should I repeat my Salaah?
