Tahaarat

Q: If the salah time is about to end, should a person make tayammum and perform salaah or should he search for water and make qaza of his salah?

Q: I am a male and I follow the Shafi'i madhab. I need some advice for the following problems: I get clear sticky leakage in little amounts from the male organ and I cannot be sure when it will come out but I know it's bound to come out at some point. I always try to make instinja before wudu but even then the leakage is random and it occurs everyday at different times without any arousal. This problem really hinders my worship because I fear that if I make wudu and walk to the masjid it would come out and not feel it because most of the time I cant feel it come out. When reading Quran it may also come out and then I don't know it. When Jumuah comes around I fear that my wudu would break before jumuah salah then I don't even know it. I'm not sure if I'm excused or not. If I am an excused person what is the difference between the Shafi'i and Hanafi way. I once wiped my phone with methylated spirits because I needed to stick on a screen protector. Is my phone napak?

Q:

1. I live in a complex and the gardeners have over the weekend put fertilizer on the grass. I am not sure what fertiliser it is but I do know that some fertilisers contain animal faeces. With everyone walking all over the complex the fertiliser is now on the floor on many of the passages and common areas. I have tried my best not to walk on it but am not certain if I have been successful. Please can you let me know the following:

a. If I have stepped on it does it make my shoes and everywhere I subsequently walked (e.g. in my home and car) napaak?
b. Can my kids still paly and walk on the grass, given that the fertiliser has been put on or will it make their shoes and clothes napaak?

2. I sometimes leak urine, therefore I wear a sanitary pad so not to make my clothes napaak, when I sit somewhere for a long period of time or sleep, I perspire. I am therefore concerned that given that urine is on the sanitary pad when I perspire between my legs this is making my bedding or the chair that I am sitting on napaak. Please can you let me know if this in fact the case and whether I have to clean these items every time this happens?

Q:

1. Today I found a lizard in the utensils cupboard and in trying to kill it, it hid inside the cupboard and traveled from one to another. I did not know where it went, so I took out all utensils. Still I did not find it. I washed all utensils of all the cupboards by pouring water once. It took around 3 to 4 hours in doing all the effort. I am not worried that if I place the utensils again and i find it again, do I have to wash all the utensils again? It was really so hectic. Is lizard najis?

2. A cockraoch ran over my leg in the washroom. I poured water over there three times. Had I become paak? I read in an islamic website that a cockraoch in the washroom is napaak. Is it true?

3. Last year a mouse used to come from Indian toilet and roam around the washroom. We somehow managed to get rid of them. But once a shirt piece of my suit fell down over the washroom floor place where it used to come every night. I washed it many times but I don't feel like wearing it as I feel that the mouse used to come from such a dirty place with traces of dirty water from the flush and my cloth fell down on the floor. Am I doing right by not wearing it?

Q: If a male had an op and the wound is in a bandage and then he has intercourse with his wife, how will he make ghusal as he cannot remove the bandage since water cannot be put on the bandage or the wound? Will masah be made over the bandage. 

Q:

1. For ghusal there is the condition of washing your whole body. I want to ask that if one is in the shower or using a bucket to take ghusal, is it necessaray that every time new drops reach the other part. I mean that if I am taking a bath under a shower and washing my head or chest then the water flows from my head to my chest or legs and my legs get wet automatically. So is it necessary for me to wash my legs again?

2. Is it necessary to remove any impurity before taking ghusal? I mean, if I wash the najasah from my body, does that part need to be washed again for the purpose of ghusal?

Q: If I suffer from continual bleeding for over six months, if for one salah time I don't see any blood am I not mazoor? Is the vaginal discharge pure in this case?

Q:

1. I was wondering if the pillows that have been stained by the smell of madhiy through clothes but not directly stained by the moisture itself are impure? (There's no smell on them anymore). I just embarrassingly knew about madhiy this week and I'm trying to repent and avoid sinning thoughts. I masturbate quite often using my pillows before and I'm worried about other things that could have been stained by the smell from the pillows. 

2. I haven't washed anything on my bed and I'm still using them for sleeping and I couldn't possibly wash everything as I don't know which thing could also have been stained by the smell. As they are no visible traces of impurity, I let them dry under the sun is this okay?

3. And I'm also having doubts as sometimes when my feet and hands are wet I get on the bed and I'm wondering if my feet and hands become napaak? My indoor cat also loves to lay on my bed and walk around the house, does this mean I have to wash her?

Q:

1. In ghusl, do we have to sniff water into the nose or will pouring suffice?

2. I have read that “Istinshaaq” means taking water into the nose and breathing it into its backmost part. I have also read that according to Imam Abu Hanifa (rahimahullah) Istinshaaq is obligatory in ghusl and Istinthaar is desirable. (Durre Mandhuud p.167 & p.279 v.1)

Q:

1. If blood is mixed whith phlegm from my nose or mouth is my wudhu broken?

2. Is it paak or not?
