Tahaarat

Q: I used to consume alcohol some time back. Now I have repented and asked for forgiveness as I was misled. I want to know that I was not very cautious about purity and I used make up and make up sponges etc. I have even used lipsticks after consuming alcohol. Now I am in doubts. I have thrown away the lipsticks I was sure about but I have to think very hard that whether I used the makeup sponge over the lipstick or did I use the powder over it and I keep doubting that whether I used a powder or sponge over impure lipstick. Where did it touch where did I keep it and keep cleaning those places. I cannot remember everything clearly. Should I just stop thinking and just use the makeup I have and not over think or worry about being impure or should I think over it. This thinking has really affected my life and I am feeling if I use my prayers won't be accepted and I will be impure. I'm feeling devastated as if there are no answers and I just eventually have to throw away everything.

Q: Please help me. You have helped me a lot throughout. If a person consumes alcohol and uses makeup like lipstick and all and if that lipstick touches one's hand does everything become napaak? You always say if there are no traces of alcohol then it is pure. How can we be sure that there are no traces of alcohol in a persons mouth as the taste and smell of alcohol stays if you are consuming it. I consumed alcohol a long time ago and I have repented and now when I think about the makeup I have used and what I touched I'm becoming doubtful. I have thrown away half the stuff I used. I feel may be they have traces as I don't remember everything and I am in doubts. It has become very stressful.

Q: I suffer from severe OCD. I constantly think I am napaak and worry about my prayer not being accepted due to it. So I'm constantly changing my clothes and doing ghusal. I know that normal vaginal discharge only breaks wudhu and that you only have to do ghusl if you have intercourse, wet dream, or orgasm. But sometimes I get very confused. Sometimes I will randomly feel tingling and feel some discharge and will be confused as to whether or not I have to perform ghusal because I don't think it was an orgasm because I didn't feel weak after, or fulfilled, or pleasure or anything like that. It just happens and I get very scared because I think I will have to do ghusal again because this happens frequently and at random times I can't control. Please help me. I am constantly obsessing over this. In this case do I need to perform ghusl or just wudu?

Q: If a person is impure physically and he sweats, the place where he is sitting or lying will it become impure like blankets or bedsheets?

Q: Sometimes after washing hands even properly, some soapy residue remains then I just clean it with tissue. Is that impure? Are my hands pure?

Q: I am a very doubtful person and I keep doubting myself over impurity. I have a few questions please help me make my life easier on me.

1. We take a shower in bathtub and during wudhu I wash my feet in there. On one side of the tub water collects and we have to drain it by pushing it with our feet towards the drain. So does my wudhu or ghusl qualify or do I have to wash then drain with feet and then wash again?

2. While washing my hands some soap which I had put on my hand touched a part of my hair. From the shoulder as my hair was falling off the shoulder. Does my hand become impure if it touches the soap on my hand which I had applied?

3. After Intimate relations between couples if after that you touch your phone or switch with that hand does it become impure. If impurity is dried off but hands are not washed and you touch it. Does it become impure if you touch other things? And if someone else touches the same things with wet hands, does that other person become impure?

Q: I have a graze on my front private part, a bit of skin came off. There is now a build up of water\pus there. The water\pus stayed within the wound and I prayed Asr and Maghrib with the same wudu. I prayed Esha late and when I checked the wound I noticed the water/pus had flowed beyond the wound. I can't be sure if it soaked through my underwear and onto my trousers. I just changed my underwear but wore same trousers to pray. I can't be fully sure it soaked through. I just changed them due to precaution. I have these doubts always.

Q: If washed alcohol glasses are kept and a pure utensil comes in contact with the glass like touches it will the pure utensil be impure.

Q: If utensils that may have come in contact with alcohol are washed in the dishwasher, do we have to clean the dishwasher. Can the utensils be pure to consume. What if I run the rinse cycle in dishwasher will it be pure to wash pure utensils.

Q: I am suffering from incontinence of urine. I know I am a mazoor and have to make wudhu, but I am finding it very difficult to wash the private part and to wash or change clothes for every prayer. It is getting very hard for me to pray. Please find an easy way for me to pray namaz and quran. I am very much afraid of not praying. I don't want to spoil my aakhirat. I want to be close to Allah Ta'ala. Please guide me according to Islam.
