Wudhu
Drinking the leftover water of wudhu whilst standing
Q: What is the ruling of drinking the leftover water of wudhu (fadl wudhu) whilst standing?
In Dars Tirmizi (vol. 1, pg. 259) — taken from Duroos Madaniyya of Moulana Husain Ahmad Madani رحمة الله عليه — it is mentioned that Ibn Abidin (al-Shami) did not regard it as mustahabb, and that the ahadith on this issue cannot be used to establish istiḥbab.
However, in Fatawa Mahmoodiyyah (vol. 8, pg. 123) the words of Ibn Abidin (al-Shami) in Radd al-Muhtar are quoted as proof that drinking fadl wudhu whilst standing or sitting is mustahabb.
My questions are:
1. According to the Hanafi madhhab, is drinking fadl wudhu mustahabb or not?
2. What is the correct position of Ibn Abidin (al-Shami) in this matter?
3. If it is mustahabb, is it specifically recommended to drink it while standing, or is sitting still better?
4. How should the apparent contradiction between Duroos Madaniyya/Dars Tirmizi and Fatawa Mahmoodiyyah be reconciled?
Wudhu with a plaster on
Q: I put a plaster on the back of my mother's foot at around isha as she had a blister. She still had it on until the next day Maghrib because she forgot about it. Are her prayers invalid?
Making masah of the head after a hair transplant
Q: From my understanding, the hair transplant treatment is permissible. After having it done, one is required not to let water touch the scalp for about 3 days. How then should one do masah?
Making wudhu while the glue from the plaster is on one's skin
Q: I had my blood drawn from my arm for tests. I thought the small black spots on my arm (elbow crease) where the needle went in were bruises. But they were actually glue bits from the band aid. I have been praying regularly before I found out this. Are my prayers valid? Or do I need to redo them?
Washing the corner of the eye during wudhu
Q: Is it necessary to rub the eyes when making wudhu? If a little dirt is stuck in the corner of the eye, is wudhu accepted?
Validity of wudhu and ghusal with instant mehndi on one's hands
Q: Will my wudhu or ghusal be accepted if I have instant henna/mendhi on my hands. If not, why?
Working with grease and performing salaah
Q: I am a mechanic and work with grease. Often the grease gets stuck to my hands and cannot be removed by any means and only comes out after many hours. How should I perform wudhu and perform salaah?
Wudhu breaking by laughing aloud in salaah
Q: I have some questions regarding laughing aloud (such that another person can here you) in salaah. I have seen multiple views and do not know which one is correct.
1. Can you touch the Quraan afterwards (i.e. is it hadath or not)?
2. For those who say it is for reprimanding the person, not hadath, according to them can you make tawaaf with that wudhu, or is tawaaf similar to salaah therefore tawaaf is invalid with that wudhu?
Status of wudhu after inserting a cloth or tissue inside the private area of a woman
