Washing a musalla that was touched by a shoe

Q: My mother uses a sandle which she takes to the toilet also. A few times she accidentally stepped on my musallah. I touched the part and it was not wet. With my hand only, I clean the dust without using any water as I am not sure where she exactly stepped on. She also stepped on the musallah with her shoe which she wears when she goes outside. Do I have to wash the musallah? I am currently reading salaah on the same musallah. I have doubts about another musallahs because my nephew urinated on them and the house worker washed them. I dont know if she washed it thrice or not. Can I read salaah on them as she used a detergent?

Using a stone or baked brick for tayammum

Q: My mother is 70 years old...she is suffering from pollen allergy but the allergy is not restricted to only pollen months (feb-march-april)...The problem is the allergy continues through out the year. She is now even allergic to dust, water etc. The problem increases in winter as soon as she wakes up for fajar and does wudu. She starts coughing sneezing etc. and the same applies for all the prayers. Due to her age, when she coughs, some times urine drops leak out...then she has to go to washroom, do paaki, do wudu again and the problem increases further due to all this.. Again she has to do wudu and coughing etc. Her age does not permit to go through all this process again and again. So someone advised to do tayyamum especially for magrib and isha when she has the peak of allergy. My question is from where to get the paak soil for tayymum? We have a park in front of our home but many animals even pigs roam around there. We can't use that soil and the walls are all painted..no dust on them. What to do?

Making ghusal in a shower

Q:

1. As most houses have showers in the bathrooms for taking baths. Please advice what will be the way for taking ghusl-e-janaabat with shower.

2. I have hip dislocation from birth due to which I am not able to lift my legs after a certain height. As in most of the offices there isn't a proper place for wuzoo and people doing wozoo in the wash basin also wash their feet in the wash basin. My problem is that I can't lift my legs till the height of the wash basim. What should I do in that case?
