Sunnah method of using a miswaak

Q: I would like to know the masnoon way of doing miswaak. Should it be right to left in one go which would be the "length" of the mouth and the "breadth" of the teeth or is it to be done in an up down motion on each tooth starting with the tooth on top on the right which would then be the "length" of the teeth and the "breadth" of the mouth?

Touching an impure object

Q: If there is impurities on an object and I touch it with wet hands. I'm not sure if there was physical signs of it coming onto my hand and I touch a cloth with the same wet hands but you can't see the impurities on this cloth. Did the cloth get impure? If at a later stage my hands are clean and wet and I touch this same cloth but there are no traces/signs of the impurities on my hand, is my hand impure?

Wiping off impurity on a shoe

Q: A couple of years ago, I messed my sisters shoe with some impurities and I just wiped it off. She uses that shoe for wudhu. Now later in my life I'm regretting not telling her at the time/washing the impurities off. Since she puts her wet foot in the shoe, her foot will become dirty. She doesn't know anything about this. Are all her Salaahs accepted? Will I be responsible for all her Salaahs not being accepted and will I have to pay her for all those Salaahs in the Aakhira? I don't know whether she still uses that shoe. I'm very remorseful and worried about this. What should I do?

Wiping impurities on the floor

Q: I have messed impurities on the tiled floor a while ago and have not cleaned it correctly (just wiped it with a dry cloth). I'm very worried about the impurities now. What if somebody walked on it with a wet foot and spread it? Is their Salaah accepted? Will I be responsible for it? The house has a domestic helper that cleans the house. She uses a bucket of water and cloth to clean the floor by dipping the cloth in the water bucket every once in a while and wiping the floor around the house once. (The floor becomes very wet and is air dried). There are no visible traces of the impurities anymore. Since the domestic helper cleaned the house and floor, can I assume and conclude that the floor is clean? What should I do? Please please help me. I am extremely extremely stressed and worried. This issue is negatively affecting my life and affecting my performance in my exams

Urine drops after making istinja

Q: As a person suffering from voluntary drops of urine after making Istinja'a, in prayer and in some other times.

1- Can I pray like that?

2- Can I lead salaahs? People sometimes choose me to lead the salaah because I have memorized the Qur'an.

3- Whenever I go to the mosque, I also pray nawaafils. After I reach home, I use to recite the Qur'an, must I re-perform ablution for the recitation or I will use that of the salaah, for all the time wasted?

4- I heard that a person like me can't perform two obligatory prayers with one ablution, when will I perform ablution for each salaah? Is it after or before adhaan?

5- If after maghrib I stay at the mosque, if it comes to time for isha'i, must I perform istinja'a before ablution?

6- Can I pray more salaah with that cloth?

Wadi

Q: I have this substance that soemtimes comes after I pee. After I pee I take a flashlight and put my penis against the toilet seat to check for this clear string fluid. What is it?
