Q: I have 2 questions on Ghusl
1. Is gargling obligatory in ghusl or passing water inside the mouth is sufficient for ghusl to be valid?
2. Is sniffing water inside the nose obligatory in ghusl? I have heard that "Istinshaaq" i.e. taking the water into the nose and breathing it in to the end of the soft bone is required for ghusl to be valid.
Q: Please advise. I performed my ghusl as per usual. About an hour later I found some “dirt” in the crevice of my ear, like maybe old skin cells or maybe like the texture of tears once it has dried up. Is my ghusl counted? My concern is that the water did not pass over the area where the “dirt” was found and as such my ghusl might not be counted. Please advise.
Q:
1. I want to ask you if I remember having a wet dream and saw little discharge but very sure that this is vaginal discharge so gusl is fardh on me?
2. If I had a wet dream and on waking up I feel some wetness in my private area as all women have some moisture at there vagina so wetness should be reached out or should I use some tissue or cloth to check if there is any discharge?
Q: Please can you help me with the following?
1. I was walking outside and there was an area which had a lot of stool from various birds, I tried my best to avoid it but am not certain if I avoided it completely, does this make the bottom of my shoes napaak?
2. If a non Muslim is eating a sandwich and I am not sure what the content of the sandwich is (i.e. if it contained something haram) and they subsequently touched me on my back, does this make my clothes and the seat my back subsequently leaned against napaak?
Q: Are any of the following regarded as impure in Shari'ah?
1. The mucus or phlegm that comes out of the nose or throat due to a cold, flu or sinus infection
2. The yellowish white mucus or phlegm that comes out of the nose or throat due to a cold, flu or sinus infection
3. The yellow or green colour mucus or phlegm that comes out of the nose or throat due to a cold, flu or sinus infection (could be pus).
Q: I'd like to know the Sunnah method of washing the hands upto the wrist and are there any other methods?
Q: I have a question that if one has an anal fistula (medical condition in which there is a connection between the lower part of the intestine and the skin) and there is a discharge from it which may be mucus, serous, pus or stool at times. It may be small in quantity and one may not even notice it.
1. Would the discharge break the wudhu and nullify the prayer
2. Sometimes I may not even know about the discharge, does one have to check before and after praying each time?
3. Sometime I need to do imamat, in that situation after salat should I ask the congregation to wait and check the discharge? It seems to prevent me from offering salat in congregation and constant fear of losing wudhu.
Q: If a man inserts his finger into his wife's private part, will ghusl become fardh upon her?
Q: I passed stool and made istinja and I checked with tissue there was no impurity then i did wudhu and I felt there is some impurity but I did not clean it as I was not sure about it. I offered namaz in this condition and after namaaz I checked so there was impurity. Then I cleaned it off and I did wudhu and offered namaaz again. Now I am very worried that as I had offered naamaz with impurity so my Imaan lasts or not? Do I have to do ghusal? I recited Kalima shareef and made tauba but still I am so worried. Please guide.
Q:
1. When a man inserts his tip of penis in other man's anus, both should have fard ghusl right?
2. Is the ghusl fard even if when both had worn clothes? E.g. If one had worn pants and the other had also worn pants but the penis went inside the anus along with both pants. Is ghusl still fard?
3. Is the fard ghusl same as ghusl janabah?
