wudhu

Q: I'd like to know the Sunnah method of washing the hands upto the wrist and are there any other methods?

Q: I passed stool and made istinja and I checked with tissue there was no impurity then i did wudhu and I felt there is some impurity but I did not clean it as I was not sure about it. I offered namaz in this condition and after namaaz I checked so there was impurity. Then I cleaned it off and I did wudhu and offered namaaz again. Now I am very worried that as I had offered naamaz with impurity so my Imaan lasts or not? Do I have to do ghusal? I recited Kalima shareef and made tauba but still I am so worried. Please guide.

Q: According to the Hanafi Math-hab I'd like to know the correct way of washing the hands upto the wrists. I teach in a maktab madrassah and we used to teach them to first wash the right hand including the wrist three times and then to wash the left hand including the wrist three times but we were told that that is incorrect and it has to be as follows:

To wash both hands including the wrists three times and the action has to be done in such a way that you would alternate e.g you would first wash the right hand then the left hand and then the right hand, so the right hand would end up getting washed twice and the left once.

Can you please advise on how it should be taught to the kids.

Q: Everyday I keep doubting whether my wudu was done correctly or should I repeat my wudu. I suffer from ocd.

Q: I wanted to ask that, I must have bled a little from my finger which I didn't know about. I saw it after I put clean clothes away and it seemed dry. I don't know if this blood touched my clothes that I was wearing or the clean clothes I put away or anything I my have touched and with most clothes being black it's hard to tell.

1. Please can you tell me if I need to wash the clothes again or would they be considered pure?

2. Is my namaz counted in the same clothes I was wearing? 

Q: I have problem due to acne on my face and on my back when I sit or if pressure is applied on it, it may burst and bleed, mostly blood comes out and there is no pus, but sometimes there is and both are unnoticeable mostly.

1. If this blood comes out, will my wudu be invalid? If yes, then what about prayers that I have offered in it without knowing about it bursting and about wudu?

2. What about the blood spots on my vest as there are a lot of it on it especially when 3 to 4 burst. Will my clothes be impure? Will Salah be valid?

3. Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd ar Rahman ibn al-Mujabbar that he saw Salim ibn Abdullah with blood running from his nose so that his fingers were all coloured red. Then he rubbed it and prayed without doing wudu.

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْمُجَبَّرِ، أَنَّهُ رَأَى سَالِمَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ أَنْفِهِ الدَّمُ حَتَّى تَخْتَضِبَ أَصَابِعُهُ ثُمَّ يَفْتِلُهُ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي وَلاَ يَتَوَضَّأُ ‏.‏

USC-MSA web (English) reference : Book 2, Hadith 52 Arabic reference : Book 2, Hadith 82

What about this hadith should I follow it then? Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam that the ayat "You who believe! When you rise for prayer wash your faces, and your arms to the elbows, and wipe over your heads and your feet up to the ankles," refers to rising from bed, meaning sleep. Yahya said that Malik said, "The situation with us is that one does not have to do wudu for a nose-bleed, or for blood, or for pus issuing from the body. One only has to do wudu for impurities which issue from the genitals or the anus, or for sleep."

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، أَنَّ تَفْسِيرَ، هَذِهِ الآيَةِ ‏{‏يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا قُمْتُمْ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ فَاغْسِلُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَأَيْدِيَكُمْ إِلَى الْمَرَافِقِ وَامْسَحُوا بِرُءُوسِكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ‏}‏ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ إِذَا قُمْتُمْ مِنَ الْمَضَاجِعِ ‏.‏ يَعْنِي النَّوْمَ ‏.‏ قَالَ يَحْيَى قَالَ مَالِكٌ الأَمْرُ عِنْدَنَا أَنَّهُ لاَ يَتَوَضَّأُ مِنْ رُعَافٍ وَلاَ مِنْ دَمٍ وَلاَ مِنْ قَيْحٍ يَسِيلُ مِنَ الْجَسَدِ وَلاَ يَتَوَضَّأُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدَثٍ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ ذَكَرٍ أَوْ دُبُرٍ أَوْ نَوْمٍ ‏.‏

USC-MSA web (English) reference : Book 2, Hadith 10 Arabic reference : Book 2, Hadith 40

Q: I want to know the following: I have to do wudhu for each Salah due to discharge illness. Is my Fajar prayer wudhu valid after sun rise until dhohar time begins or only from fajar to sunrise?

Q: I stuck a tissue in my nose and found a small amount of blood on it. Is my wudhu broken? Also, If my finger is impure and I put it in my nose whilst the inside of my nose was wet or moist does the inside of my nose become impure? How do I purify the inside of my nose if it does become impure? Also, what is the difference between dry blood coming out of the nose and wet blood? What if there is blood inside the nose, is wudhu broken only when it comes out of the nose or is it broken even if it is still inside the nose? Because usually if you have a cut or wound, wudhu is broken when blood flows out of the wound but it's hard to tell in the nose. Is blood coming out of the nose the same as blood coming out of the wound?
