Tahaarat

Q: I was praying and I realized I had mucus on my hand and the mucus was there before the wudhu. What do I have to do? Repeat the Salaah?

Q: I have a weak bladder due to which I cannot hold urine. After doing istinjaa I know if I will wash my private part and during washing if I try to hold my bladder, urine will come out because it cannot hold my urine which come's out due to pressure put by me trying to hold my bladder. Am I still considered mazoor? Can I still make wudhu when I know that urine drops which come out is because I have tried to hold my bladder during washing my private part? I mean before washing my private part I know if I hold my bladder, urine will come out due to it's weakness and I still make wudhu. Will my wudhu be valid? I know your ruling regarding mazoor and sorry for asking a confusing question.

Q: We shower in a tub. When we take a shower, water collects at one end of the tub though the tub has a drain but the water collects at one place and we use our feet to push that water towards the drain. My family members sometimes don't push the water and use the towel to wipe their feet and then place the towel with mine. Will my towel become impure? Sometimes the water seems soapy.

Q: I suffer from extreme ocd and my family is not very well versed in matters of purity. I try to explain but they don't care. I am very cautious about this issue and they don't care. It has reached a point where I am thinking of leaving the house or maybe ALLAH forgive Islam all together. Their ignorance is giving me a hard time. My baby nephew vomited. They don't wash his clothes or where he voimited. What should I do? I can't wash every object. On the issue of vomit, can I follow the maaliki or salaafi madhab who don't consider vomit to be impure?

Q: I saw some whitish type of spots on the side of the bed like the wood and a spot on the floor though there are other spots as well like of water or sometimes we drop food as we eat in the room. After intimacy we use the washroom to clean and I feel what if while going a few drops of sperm fell and I didn't check at that time. Will the floor be impure? What if we had stepped on it. I have wiped the bed and the spot on the floor with wet tissues.

Q: After ejaculation, what do I do to my clothes if it had got soiled? After my clothes got soiled, I washed it with the rest of the family's clothes. What should I do. Is the ibaadah of my entire family unfulfilled? Do I have to rinse my dirty clothes before putting it into the washing? If my bed got soiled with semen but I did not clean it, will I be napaak everyday?

Q: Today my sister in-law put my nephew's nappy in the bin which is placed in the kitchen. When I went in, I saw the nappy and tea bag in there as well. I decided to throw the bin bag from the bin and as I was lifting it I saw that water was dripping from it. I saw water on the bottom of the bin. Is that water are impure? Should I wash the bin? If we place another bag and while throwing it away water drips on the floor, should we wash it? Because of my family's ignorance about impurity, I have stopped praying because every thing would be impure 100 percent the way they behave. How should I continue praying?

Q: Is it permishible for an adult Muslim to urinate while standing?

Q: In medical school you have to take anatomy class and dissect cadavers (dead-bodies) of non-Muslims and maybe Muslims (I am not sure if there are any Muslims that donate their body after they die so I think all the cadavers are non-Muslims).

1) Do you have to do ghusl after dissecting?

2) Do you have to do wudhu after dissecting?

3) How many times do you have to wash your hands?

4) If you touch the clothes you dissected in after you do wudhu or wash your hands do your hands or things the clothes touches like your bag become napaak?

5) Does the rulings for questions 1-4 change weather the dead-body is of a Muslim or non-Muslim?

Q: I have been struggling with OCD and trying to get better and not take so long when doing wudhu but I keep having doubts which makes me take like 15-20 minutes for it. As a female you get discharge and the area is always wet and has a white mucus. Every time I go to do wudhu I think I have to clean all of it off but its' always there next time because it is naturally supposed to be there. So I spend so much time washing over and over again and scratching to take it all off because I think only poring water on the area doesn't clean everything because it sticks to the area 1) Is it sufficient to just wash the area with water by pouring it over 2) Do you have to scratch every little bit off? It is very time consuming and can cause pain and infections because I keep trying to remove something that is naturally there.
