tahaarat

Ma'zoor

Q: My issue is that I have urine drops problem. It is not specific to the time when I use the toilet, rather it is continuous. Sometimes a drop or two leaks after a few minutes and sometimes half an hour may also pass without any drops. I mean there is no regular pattern according to which one may follow the ruling for maintaining wuzu/taharah. Cannot decide on wether I should consider myself as mazoor or not. What method should I apply to safeguard my ibadaat?

And what is the boundary regarding ascertaining by one's ownself about leakage of drops? I ask this becuase even when drops leak within a few minutes, I do not specifically know that at this instant wuzu has broken. Shall I consider this lack of knowledge of the wuzu breaking event continuity of wuzu and keep doing ibadat. If yes, for what duration shall I continue the said consideration i.e. can I go on to pray the witr and taraweeh with wuzu for faraiz?

Ma'zoor

Q: If I experience pre-seminal leakage that is apparent in every salah time am I excused or not? I cannot feel it come out but I know it will be there in every salah time although it isn't constantly flowing. It causes me great difficulty having to check everytime if something has come out... because I may be reading salah or Quran and fear that my wudu has broken but I wouldn't even feel it. If someone were excused do they need to wash the private area everytime and does the cloth covering the private part need to be changed everytime?

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.

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?
