Q: I have been suffering for a while from persistent acne on my scalp. It seems nearly all the pimples on my head (and there are a lot) are filled with pus and when they pop, a lot of pus and blood comes out. They are also very sensitive and tend to pop even at a slight touch or even just by themselves.

1. Must I shower every time a pimple pops or can I pray after wiping as much blood away as I can?

2. If I check to see that a popped pimple has stopped bleeding, then I shower, do I have to recheck again after the shower to see if there is blood, or can I just get out of the shower without checking again (sometimes when I am rechecking with a tissue, this make the pimple bleed again)?

3. What if I was not aware of any popped pimples before I got into the shower, do i have to check for bleeding when I am done?

4. Also, sometimes I wipe my head and see blood on tissue but I cannot locate where the bleeding pimple is on my head, in this case can I just wait a certain amount of time, assume the pimple has stopped bleeding and shower?

5. Also, I am a woman and have long, relatively thick hair and the acne on my head is making it difficult to keep, not to mention the pimples itch so much and some are quite painful. If the acne becomes even worse, am I allowed to cut or shave my hair to make my scalp easier to treat?

6. Lastly, is there an Islamic treatment I can apply to my head for something like this.

Q: I have sensitive gums that bleed quite frequently and I have recently started using a miswak. If my gums bleed when I brush, how do I clean the miswak of blood? Is it enough to let water run over it?

Q: (I don't know whether I am a hanfi, shafi etc, so please answer accordingly)

The ghusl/ritual bath that we perform to become paak after menses, etc. have three farz/compulsory acts: washing mouth, cleaning nose, and pouring water all over the body. So if we perform ONLY and only these three acts and NOT perform the remaining acts like performing "Wuzu", washing wrists (not the one in wuzu), doing niyyat, etc. will our ghusl be valid and will we become paak?

Also, if I only perform these three acts and that too not in proper order (for example I wash my mouth and nose in the end or any other order), will my ghusl be valid and will my namaz be accepted?

Q: I had an impurity on my hand and it dried. I meant to wash it but I forgot and then I washed a pot (with my hand), heated up something in it and drank it. Is this pot (and what I drank) pure? I washed it under running water. Do I have to worry about the other dishes in the sink being impure since I washed the pot over these dishes (the water I was washing with ran all over them), or can I just assume they are pure?

Q: If one's gums are bleeding a small amount (for example due to brushing their teeth before bed), can they sleep like that and rinse their mouth when they wake up?

Q: I had a question regarding the purity or purification of bed sheets or similar stuff impacted with semen (both visible stains as well as invisible). Please give a detailed and clear idea about the ruling regarding the same. If it is impure then how do I wash large bed sheets, mattresses or blankets in both cases having visible semen stains as well as non visible semen. If I sleep in the same setup do my cloths or body get impure?

Q:

1. If some drops of urine get on the side areas of vagina even after all the precautions, does pouring water over them using Muslim shower during istinja is enough? I usually wash my legs separately, wash with soap and pour water over the area thrice as i don't get satisfied by pouring water while making istinja from Muslim shower. What is the right way? I read on your website somewhere that drops dont need to be washed..they can be wiped with tissues. Is it correct?

2. How many times water should be poured on napaak body part? Some says two, some says three. I use soap then pour water thrice. Is washing with soap necessary?

Q:

1. After I had passed stool, there was a lot of bleeding in my back part. I wiped until I saw no blood on the tissue, then took a shower, then prayed dhuhr and asr prayers. Then at maghrib I went to the bathroom, and saw even more blood. Do I assume that the bleeding started again after I prayed asr, or do I assume that the bleeding was going on the entire time and therefore I have impurity all over me (because I showered) and my prayers are invalid?

2. Also, I often have bleeding in my back part and the toilet tissue we use is not clear white - it naturally has yellow/brown/red bits in it (I think it is because the tissue is recycled) and this makes it hard to tell if something is blood/stool or just the normal color of the toilet paper. If I wipe until the toilet paper comes back clean, then wash myself, then check again using toilet paper, however during the check I notice some spots that I'm not sure is normal color vs blood/stool, so I check again, but this time the toilet paper is clean, can I assume I am pure?

Q: I have a discharge problem and I fall under the category of mazoor. I have a few questions

1. Do I need to make istinja for every salaah?

2. Do I need to change my panty liner for every salaah?

3. I'm pregnant and I have a gas problem, will passing wind break my wudhu?

4. If I'm making tawaaf and I pass wind. Will I need to remake my wudhu?

Q: If someone makes ghusl and he says or thinks kufr or shirk, is his ghusl invalid?
