Q: I used to consume alcohol some time back. Now I have repented and asked for forgiveness as I was misled. I want to know that I was not very cautious about purity and I used make up and make up sponges etc. I have even used lipsticks after consuming alcohol. Now I am in doubts. I have thrown away the lipsticks I was sure about but I have to think very hard that whether I used the makeup sponge over the lipstick or did I use the powder over it and I keep doubting that whether I used a powder or sponge over impure lipstick. Where did it touch where did I keep it and keep cleaning those places. I cannot remember everything clearly. Should I just stop thinking and just use the makeup I have and not over think or worry about being impure or should I think over it. This thinking has really affected my life and I am feeling if I use my prayers won't be accepted and I will be impure. I'm feeling devastated as if there are no answers and I just eventually have to throw away everything.

Q: Please help me. You have helped me a lot throughout. If a person consumes alcohol and uses makeup like lipstick and all and if that lipstick touches one's hand does everything become napaak? You always say if there are no traces of alcohol then it is pure. How can we be sure that there are no traces of alcohol in a persons mouth as the taste and smell of alcohol stays if you are consuming it. I consumed alcohol a long time ago and I have repented and now when I think about the makeup I have used and what I touched I'm becoming doubtful. I have thrown away half the stuff I used. I feel may be they have traces as I don't remember everything and I am in doubts. It has become very stressful.

Q: I had always been taught that the topi is the crown of a believer and part of the Sunnah attire. However, I was recently told by a close friend that the topi is not part of the Sunnah attire and has no basis in Deen. It was merely worn in the time of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) and the Sahaabah (Radhiyallahu Anhum) as a traditional dress. Is this true? Similarly, I would like to know whether the Sahaabah (Radhiyallahu Anhum) wore the topi at the time of Salaah.
