carpet

Q: I stepped on some stool of an animal but was unaware until later in the day. The place I work is in a room that is carpeted. The day I was working, it was also raining making the soul of the shoe wet making me believe that the najasat has spread on the carpeted floor at my place of work. Now, as I work there on a regular basis I wanted to know:

1. If I would have to clean the carpet in the room?

2. How would I clean the carpet in the whole room as the carpet is stuck to the floor.

3. Would it suffice using a mop or wipes to just wipe over the carpet?

4. If I walked on the carpet again with wet shoes would the napaaki transfer from the carpet to my shoe to other areas e.g. car, home etc...

Q:

1. If I place a clean musalla on an impure carpet can I pray on that musalla?

2. Also, if I make wudhu and then stand with my wet feet on the musalla that is on the impure carpet will the musalla become impure since the water penetrates the musalla and goes to the carpet or will it be pure. Because I heard a masala that if you wrap a wet impure cloth inside another cloth the other cloth won't become impure.

Q: If a carpet got some urine on it and someone dried it with a towel so that it remained a little moist then will your foot become impure if you step on it because its not wet anymore its just moist.

Q: We have wall to wall carpets on each room's floor in our house. If it gets impure, how can one make it paak? It is not possible to pick it up and let water flow through it. I take a dry towel. Pour water over the impurity and rub it dry with the towel. I repeat it three times. Does it make the carpet pure?

Q: I wanted to ask if say I have a modern rug which if washed might spoil and get damaged. Will wiping it with a wet cloth or wet wipe suffice? The najaasat traces have never been there I don't thinks so and I don't remember either.. the only reason I think it is napak is because I threw (maybe dried or wet i don't recall) napak clothes on it (I have discharge problem) walked with wet feet on it which might be napak because (some at times napak and at times maybe napak) splashes of water got on my feet from the floor (which might be napak) perhaps I had stepped on it with my shoe. I am not sure and it's been a long while so i don't remember correctly the reason I think it is napak. Only recently I wiped it with wet cloth because I think I had made it napak but I don't recall the reason. I have OCD.. I've been battling it since 2008.. I usually wipe things with a wet cloth or wet wipe to make it paak since washing every house hold item is literally impossible and difficult. I can't wash the bed since it is foam and foam gets spoiled when washed with water so I wipe over it.. nor can the sofa be washed as it is also foam and cotton and is stitched so I wipe. Then there are non absorbent things which I wipe over with wet wipe or wet cloth as I know they don't need to be washed. Today I had wet feet and I stepped on the rug, dried myself with cloth, wore clothes, wore my wet paak shoes and came to bed. I don't know if I am napak or not and if the bed has become napak because of me. Help.

Q: My query is as follows. Please could you assist. I found some dirt on my carpet and when I smelt it, it smelt like stool, I am not sure where it came from but my concern is that my family walked on the carpet with wet feet, however I am not certain if their feet did in fact touch the dirty parts of the carpet. They have subsequently touched their feet with their hands, does this make their hands as well as wet items they touched thereafter napaak? Also they have worn socks and shoes thereafter and possibly perspired in the shoes, are their shoes napaak as well?

Q: At the time of flushing the toilet at home, a number of drops splashed out from the toilet on to the toilet floor. Having stepped on these drops, I walked in the house and then walked outside in the same slippers. The ground outside was wet in patches as it had been raining. I then accidentally stepped in a muddy puddle with the same slippers. This caused water to seep through my leather and cotton socks with some moisture getting on to my feet. Before stepping on to the Masjid carpet, I removed my slippers, both pairs of socks and stepped on to the carpet. Some moisture passed from my feet on to the carpet. I walked through the carpeted masjid and went to the Wudhu area and washed my feet. In addition I carefully left my leather socks on the carpet before proceeding to the Wudhu Khana. They were wet from having stepped in the puddle but I tried to be careful not to put the wet part of the leather socks on the Masjid carpet, but now I am having a doubt as to exercised sufficient caution in this matter, i.e. there is a distinct possibility that the wetness on the leather sock went on to the carpet. Is the Masjid carpet which I walked on paak to perform Salah on or do I have to undertake the difficult task of informing the Masjid to wash the carpet?

Q: If I am doubtful (due to lack of concentration/absent mindedness) as to whether I walked in a carpeted room with napaak slippers and there is no visible sign or smell of napaaki on the carpet, do I regard the carpet as paak to walk on with wet feet and to perform Salaah on, or does it have to be washed? NB: This particular type of doubt has occurred at least twice previously. It is habit to remove the slippers prior to going in to the said room, because I perform Salaah in that room, but as I said due to absent mindedness I could have walked in that room with the slippers, and although there is no visible sign or smell of napaaki, if it was present in the form of a few drops of urine, it would be impossible to tell.

Q: There was a time few years ago when, due to OCD, I would remain in a napaak state, na'oodhoobillah. One day my father insisted that I should make Wudhu and perform Salah as Shaytaan was playing with me.I did not want to perform Wudhu because I felt that my feet were napaak and therefore if I washed my feet and wore the slippers that my parents use & then walked in the room in which they perform Salah with wet feet, the carpet in that room would become napaak. I however had no choice but to do so.
