Finding impurity on one's body after istinja

Q: Please can you help me with the following?

1. Yesterday after passing stool I showered and cleaned myself to the best of my ability. Later that day when I cleaned myself in the toilet I found my private parts were still a bit dirty. I am now concerned that due to the fact that I showered and dried myself i could have spread the najaasat all over my body and therefore wherever i sat during the day and possibly perspired could have become napaak. Please let me know if this is in fact the case and whether I have to go back and wash all the areas i sat on during the day, including my towel shoes etc

2. Sometimes after cleaning I notice a dead insect on the cloth that I have cleaned my house with, would this then make all the items I wiped with that cloth napaak and is it necessary for me to wash these items three times?

3. We were out at a restaurant with family and friends and when we got home I realised that my daughter had urinated in her pants. I then began to get concerned that she was sitting on the chairs in the restaurant and touching everything there including the food, utensils etc. Furthermore she also sat on our family and friends laps and touched their belongings. I am not sure how wet her clothes were at the time and whether the urine has made all these things napaak. Please can you advise me as to what to do in this situation.

Using recycled water

Q: The residential area I stay in is now using recycled water. This water is apparently derived from sewage water. Although they have claimed that the water has undergone stringent purifying processes and is currently safe for human consumption, it is noticeably different from what it used to be before the drought. My question is, knowing full well the apparent source of this water, in addition to consumption, is it jaaiz to use such water for wudhu and ghusl? If not then what is the alternative considering it is very impractical to purchase large amounts of water or even instal a borehole.

Impurity on clothing

Q: If a baby throws up on me or my clothes, can I still pray in those clothes or are the clothes napaak? Also, if a baby urinates on me or my clothes, do I or my clothes become napaak? Lastly, if the blood of another person touches me or my clothes, am I or the clothes napaak?

Doubting whether the discharge is mazi or mani

Q: I have a question which always brings doubt to me with regards to ghusal. This happens to me all the time like this morning when I got back home from fajr I went to use the bathroom and on taking out my underpants I found a tiny dot of wetness and small white marks on my underwear. I then urinated and whilst urine emitted I watched to see if anything odd is emitted, I found that a little of white liquid came out as well which was sticky. Is this mani or mazi? I always get confused and then get waswasas. Do I have to make ghusal or do I just put on clean underpants and make wudhu?

Touching objects in the state of janaabat

Q: I have a question that whenever I am in a state of impurity like after semen ejaculation, can I touch objects like phone books etc? Like they won't become impure because if they become impure just by touching whenever I am in a state of impurity then how can I take a bath? Whenever I want to masturbate, I try to avoid it by doing wudhu, etc, reciting kalima but still I end up doing that. What should I do?
