Q: My non-baaligh brother often has accidents. This time, when he pooped in bed, I threw the bedsheets in the washing machine along with his underwear which was first washed by hand, and set the rinse 2 times for a total of 4 hours. During the second rinse I even threw in some of my clothes. As I was taking everything out of the dryer, the stains from the sheets were completely gone, and all the clothes smelled good, but then his underwear had a very light brownish colour and some odor. Does that mean the underwear is impure and everything else that was washed with the underwear is also impure? I put everything in the dryer before I noticed any of this so does that mean the dryer has to be purified now? What must I do?

Q: In the process of wudhu, there are 4 fardhs; washing the face, the arms, masah of the head and washing the feet. Kindly clear my doubt if washing of the face comprises of gargling the mouth and cleaning the nose.

Q: I suffer with bad thoughts that come into my mind during istinja. I always wipe and check to see if discharge came out and would see white discharge. It would worry me if mani came out and so I would check after passing urine and before cleaning. Sorry for this amount of detail. Because I used to feel discharge coming out I would check again and again.

1. Should I stop checking and always consider it to be mazi and not mani?

2. Also, in order for it to be mani, shouldn't the volume of the amount be a lot. I always feel it's a tiny bit. That's why I've taken it to be mazi as it's time consuming and bringing back waswas in to my life.

Q: For a long time now I have found it difficult to distinguish between the features of mazi and mani. I noticed that my everyday discharge has a smell to it, like the smell of mani. So when I do get mazi I feel it could be mani, but I'm always unsure. This is because it looks thin and white on my clothes, but after wiping, its majority white but looks a little yellow toward the end. The discharge is mostly thin and white, but the last part looks a little yellow.

1. Is ghusl fardh upon me every time I see the discharge look like this?

2. Every time I see, what looks like mazi to me, always has the same smell as mani, but so does my everyday discharge. I'm kind of confused? 

Q:

1. Was I baligh at the age of 8? Since I was 8, everytime I got in the shower I would throw water pressure “down there” until my body shook and was satisfied (I believe this was an orgasm, and I may have emitted maniy but I really don't recall). I read that mani is supposed to be thin and yellow, but I have only ever secreted white or clear discharge, so it was most likely mazi. After that, I would take my full shower without the intention of ghusl. I only started praying and fasting regularly at the age of 11, when I got my first period. Now, 18, I just learned that a woman is deemed to have reached puberty when one of four things happens:

1 – When she reaches the age of fifteen.

2 – When her pubic hair grows.

3 – When she emits mani (fluid released at climax).

4 – When she starts to menstruate.

Second Question: Does this mean I was baligh at the age of 8? Do I have to make up for 3 years of prayers and fasts that I did not do before the age of 11?  I continued this habit in my teen years, after my period at the age of 11 when I was surely baligh.

Third Question: My parents never had "the talk" with me and I did not know until recently what masturbation is, the fact that it is haraam, and that ghusl was mandatory after that. So I would perform the habit then take my full shower without the intention of ghusl. Does this mean I have been praying in the state of janaabat and have to make up for 7 years of prayers and fasts? 

Q: Are we allowed to talk to others while doing wudhu? 

Q: What is the correct procedure of washing clothes by hand to make them paak? Is it ok to do this:

First rinse out the bucket, then put the clothes in the bucket, and add detergent and clean water from the tap. And soak for a few mins. After take the clothes out one by one and rinse under the tap and squeeze out the water several times.
