Q: Please can you help me with the following:
When I flush the toilet, drops of water fall on the seat, does this make the seat napak? If something napaak falls on the toilet seat, I usually wipe the seat with a wet cloth then wipe it with a dry tissue. Sometimes my thigh gets a bit wet when I sit on the seat as the seat is not completely dry after I have dried it, will this make my thigh napaak?
Q: I have a blister on my toe due to standing long periods at work with narrow shoes. Is the water in the blister najis? If it is, then what can I do if this blister pops uncontrollably in my sleep on my mattress or in my shoe?
Q: Is the moisture on the inside of the opening of the urine hole najis? Because this opening touched my underwear, like it unfolded and rubbed against my underwear on accident. No urine came out. It was just the urine hole but of-course this area is naturally wet so is it najis?
Q: Chinese Sumi ink is used in certain types of Arabic calligraphy. I have recently found out that this ink is made using gelatine/animal glue from cows or rabbits. As there is no way to determine whether the gelatine is from halal slaughtered animals, is it permissible to use this ink for writing? In particular writing the Names and Praises of Allah Ta'ala and Aayat of the Quraan Majeed?
Q: Red wine grape extract is extracted with the remains of grapes (seeds, skin, etc.) after the fermentation process is completed of the wine. The remains of grapes are also dipped in fermentation solution... but the alcohol percentage in the extract is very small and according to some no alcohol. The alcohol is removed. is it impure or pure in skin toners or cosmetics?
This process of red wine extract is typically made from the skins and seeds of red grapes. The process involves crushing the grapes and fermenting the mixture to produce wine. After fermentation, the solid parts, including the skins and seeds, are separated from the liquid. The remaining solids are then dried and processed to create a concentrated red wine extract, which can be used for various purposes, including dietary supplements and skincare products. Is it pure or impure?
Q: I spend a lot of time in the washroom, trying to clean impurities. This is because I worry about impurities like urine touching water which comes on my body. I worry about splashes that come while flushing when they land on the floor. Since the splashes from flushing are impure and there is water on the floor and when impurity mixes with a body of water that is less than a certain length and width (I forgot), the whole water becomes impure so I clean the floor as well and the slippers too because they touch the floor. The splashes from flushing also land on the sink nearby so I wash the sink also. I also have to wash the seat where the same splashes also come. Can I simply use the washroom without washing anything and only see if my body is visibly pure or impure and not worry about coming into contact with water that had come into contact with impurities?
Q: I was wondering if it will be permissible to use antibacterial spray such as detol or zaflora to remove najasah on surfaces like doors, door handles and radiators by spraying and then drying with tissue paper.
I also read in a fatwaa that if the spray causes side effects you cannot use it. The sprays I have say they cause eye irritation. Does this mean I can't use it. Can you please respond as I need to know cause it will cause me alot of difficulty cleaning the radiators without spraying them and having to use a wet piece of tissue then a dry one. I also feel if I use a wet cloth I will just spread najasah everywhere.
Q: I travel for work and sometimes my agent takes me around in his vehicle. There are times when his vehicle has some dog hair on the seats and on the floor. By me sitting on the seat, some of the hair may come onto my clothes which I try and remove. Can I read salaah or are my clothes napaak?
Q: There was 1 drop of urine on my toilet seat and I first dried the seat then poured water from the jug carefully over the seat, while pouring the jug of water over the seat, some water leaked off the seat to the sides and down to the floor. Was this water that leaked najis? And also someone stepped on that water and walked across the house. Is the carpet in the house najis?
Q: I was putting my wet clothes into the dryer, the bottom of my pants touched the floor, I then put it into the dryer... Was it napaak? Did I need to rewash it? If yes, are all the clothes that got dried with it also dirty?
