Tahaarat

Q: I had a cut on my knee and it bleeds, then I put a plaster on it. When I make wudhu then do I need to make a new wudhu for all namaaz?

Q: If the clothing of a person, or a part of his bare body (such as his hand) or his khuff, touches an impure place which is dry, does it make it impure? For example, there was some urine on the carpet, and then it dried totally. If the above-mentioned things touch it, do they become impure?

Q: I have on my feet a lot of half peeled off small skin pieces (probably from little fungal infections) mostly in the form of circles. Because of this the small peeled skins borders are hanging over the skin below i.e. there are two layers of skin. Is washing normally sufficient in order to make wudhu? Also sometimes, I have the same on my hand (2 or 3 or 4 very little circles). Is just washing normally enough?

Q: After brushing my teeth with a Miswaak, my gums bleed. How or until when, do I have to complete my wudhu thereafter?

Q: When I become sexually excited, a fluid seeps out of my private part. There is a tingling sensation and itchiness in my private part when it seeps out, but clearly there is no sexual pleasure or orgasm when it seeps out because I have experienced an orgasm before. I am always in doubt since it is difficult to differentiate female ejaculate from other fluids which are discharged from a women's private part unlike men. Since it affects our daily prayers, so do I still need to perform ghusal? I follow the hanafi madhab.

Q: My job requires me to travel a lot. I sometimes stay in an apartment with a communal kitchen. The dishes are thus also used by non-muslim guests. After guests use the dishes, they are cleaned by the staff of the lodge. Now when I use these dishes, do I have to rinse it seven times to make it clean, if there are no apparent signs of impurities on them?

Q: My problem is that when I intend to pray a lot of gas starts to build up in my bowels. I make wudhu with difficulty by stopping it and pray in the same way. This problem always occurs whenever I decide to pray. At other times, I have gas problems comparable to a normal person. Following is an account of hardships that I have been facing because of it.

Q: If clean clothes are put out to dry, do they remain paak if it rains and they become soaked or do they need to be re-washed? Similarly, the container the clothes are placed in after they are dry was outside and also became soaked as did the washing line. Do these items remain paak or do they need to be re-washed?

Q: When one's husband has masturbated his wife's clitoris only (without any contact on the vaginal area), must she perform the ghusal?

Q: A lady is old and wears a napkin. It is difficult for her to walk and needs to have assistance. If her napkin becomes wet often, does she need to go to the toilet as well as change that napkin every time? It is very difficult for her. She cannot do any of these things by herself and needs for it to be done for her.
