Impurities on the ground

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

Waswasas

Q: In ghusl, if I do not not wash my feet and feet's sole and it gets wet by water which I used for ghusl on other parts of the body and with my unwashed wet feet I roam in my house, is my floor or clothes impure and can I pray on my floor and with these clothes? Because I wore my pants when my feet unwashed but wet which transferred wetness to my pants probably impure water. And In fajr I am unable to find enough time to pray with purity because I have urine drops problem in fajr which may take 1 to 1 and half hours to get pure which I don't and cannot give can I be considered mazur for fajr time and can I pray in jamaat in this condition? Please suggest some zikr or Dua or salawat to get rid of waswasas (satanic whisperings) which have taken over my life now I miss two prayers on average daily because of it.

Removing impurity from a carpet

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?

Cleaning impurities

Q:

1. Is merely wiping with a tissue or cloth considered to remove impurities and make an object paak?

2. If there is impurity on the floor and it dries naturally, is the floor considered paak?

3. Whilst flushing, there is spray from the toilet bowl, and it lands on the toilet seat and sometimes the floor. Is this spray considered to be impure or is it excused.

4. Is a washing machine considered to clean impurities.

5. Can I clean hard surfaces by spraying with water and then wiping instead of pouring?

Cleaning impurity

Q:

1. Is detergent considered to remove impurities, or only water?

2. How can you go about cleaning an impure toilet seat? Because if you pour water over it, it will undoubtedly go on the floor making the floor impure too.

3. To clean impurity on a hard floor, do you simply pour water over it and wipe clean or must you pour and wipe with a cloth 3 times, squeezing each time?

Washing a rug

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.

Doubts regarding dirt on the carpet

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?

Waswasas and doubts

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?

Doubts regarding drops in the toilet

Q: I read here that wudu must be done in a way that water flows on the parts of the body we wash. I make my wudu in the toilet that is used by non-Muslims that have incontinence and use pieces of clothing to secure their underwear from urine. They use these clothes in a mutual sink. Before wudu I wash toilet sit, try to wash floor every time I see strange drops there, but I don’t wash think, I hope when they wash those clothes, the contamination of urine that occurs is then being washed away with water. However I still doubt that sink, but cant spend so much time every time to wash it too, what I do is, I use a dipper for my wudu. I put a hand inside and then lift it up with some water in my arms, let that water flor on my hand till elbow, this doesn’t happen till the elbow as water isn’t enough and I just help with another hand, I take some water and kind of wipe my hands with it. I try not to splash too much water on a sink to avoid drops on my clothes. Is it ok in shaa Allah?

Doubts

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.
