Meaning of reusing water in wudhu

Q: I’ve heard from someone that it is impermissible to reuse water for wudhu, however if someone lets the water from the tap run over his arm such that only one side of the arm is being directly hit with the water and the other side is getting wet by the water flowing over the arm, then will this be a valid wudhu?

Ghusl after a wet dream for a woman

Q: I asked you a question regarding wet dreams that to what extent should I check the discharge, after awakening after having a wet dream. Should I check with a tissue or with my hand inside the lips because there was sometimes discharge of a very small quantity which was only inside and not visible outside. You replied that if there is no discharge on the surface then you don't need to check further.

I just want to confirm that you mean the visible surface here? It means the outer genetalia which is apparent while the lips are normally closed. If dischrage does not come out or visible to that area, ghusl is not fard on me? Even if its inside?

Using Chinese Sumi ink

Q: Chinese Sumi ink is used in certain types of Arabic calligraphy. I have recently found out that this ink is made using gelatine/animal glue from cows or rabbits. As there is no way to determine whether the gelatine is from halal slaughtered animals, is it permissible to use this ink for writing? In particular writing the Names and Praises of Allah Ta'ala and Aayat of the Quraan Majeed?
