Bleeding lips

Q:

1. If my lips bleed and I lick my blood and then my lips are clean and there is no trace of blood on the tongue, are my lips and the tongue paak.

2. Due to sweat and scratching dirt remains in my nails and I made wudu and I read salaah and then after sometime I noticed dirt in my nails and I am not sure whether it was before wudu or after wudu. Is my salaah valid? Is this kind of dirt permeable.

Finding dirt on one's feet after ghusal

Q:

1. After ghusl, I noticed some small dirt on my feet but I'm not sure it came after ghusl or before. Is my ghusal valid?

2. I repeated the ghusal but I accidentally left out a very small (thread size) dead skin which if I observed it came close to a very small part of living skin. I poured water on top of it without scrubbing and I'm not sure if water will go to the closed parts of the skin. I realised this after praying and I didn't know that I just need to wash only the dead skin to complete my ghusl. So one day after, I completed the ghusl by washing the dead skin area. Was my ghusal valid even I washed it after a day?

Urine problem

Q: I am a mazoor as I suffer from urinary incontinence. I had a ghusl an hour befor jumuah. When I was at jumuah just before jamaat salaah commenced I felt a drop of urine coming out though I wasn't sure. The drop of urine can't soil my clothing as I wear a incontinence pad. Even if I remove the pad and check I won't be able to confirm if a drop came out as the pad is absorbent. I made namaaz like this. Was the namaaz excepted or do I have to repeat it.

Ma'zoor due to wind problem

Q: I have been having gas problem from years now. I don't know if I come under category of Mazoor or not. Sometimes I can pray without breaking my wudhu but most of the times I have to perform wudhu again. Also as I work so in my office once I perform wudhu I can't go over and perform it again as it is embarrassing and people ask why also when going to some mehfil this fear haunts me as I can not keep my wudhu for long. Please help me with a detailed reply.

Urine drops problem

Q: I am suffering from incontinence of urine most of the time but I am not coming under the category of mazoor. So whenever I perform namaz I keep tissue paper inside so it can absorb the drop. Even during namaz time the drop falls on the tissue paper. Will my Salaah be valid? and second due to this problem it's very much impossible to recite Qur'an, so can I recite Qur'an from my mobile phone and is wudhu needed to recite it from mobile phone?

Flatulence problem

Q: I will try to describe my problem as accurately as possible. For over a month I have been having problems with "flatulence", but it is not like normal flatulence, because I can still break wind normally (able to hold, release, etc). It is irregular outside of wudu and salaah, but mostly during those times I have been experiencing bubbles/fart leaks that are uncontrollable and odourless and noiseless mostly. I have actually not in the last couple of days managed to go without this problem for the duration of making wudu until the completion of the salaah. Outside of the wudu or salah, it happens irregularly like sometimes when I squat I feel something. Look, I even take precautions before starting wudu like squatting, trying to expel any gas, but it still doesn't work. I haven't tried to go as long as I can to try and make a wudu and salah without it happening (like re-doing wudu and salah until I manage it), really, I don't know if I could. Maybe I could. But then that would be hardship. I don't prolong salah or wudu either.. I wash my limbs once, do salah quickly as well.., doesn't stop it from happening. I mean after sometime repeating wudu, I could go to last rak'ah in salah and then it happens. Really frustrating.

Preparing in advance for Salaah due to urine problems

Q: Islam is a religion of ease not of hardship, it is very well mentioned in the Qur'an and hadith about this easiness. I am suffering from urine incontinence. I have realised that I am not a mazoor, but for praying one namaaz I have to make wudhu 3 to 4 time and every time I have to wash my private part, whether I pray on time or later I have to face this hardship. It is really very difficult. So why there is hardship when there is so much easiness in Islam? I am missing my salaah because I can't take this hardship. I am really upset with myself because I can't worship my Allah who has given me so much. Please help find a easy way for me.
