Wudhu

Q: I have problem due to acne on my face and on my back when I sit or if pressure is applied on it, it may burst and bleed, mostly blood comes out and there is no pus, but sometimes there is and both are unnoticeable mostly.

1. If this blood comes out, will my wudu be invalid? If yes, then what about prayers that I have offered in it without knowing about it bursting and about wudu?

2. What about the blood spots on my vest as there are a lot of it on it especially when 3 to 4 burst. Will my clothes be impure? Will Salah be valid?

3. Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd ar Rahman ibn al-Mujabbar that he saw Salim ibn Abdullah with blood running from his nose so that his fingers were all coloured red. Then he rubbed it and prayed without doing wudu.

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْمُجَبَّرِ، أَنَّهُ رَأَى سَالِمَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ أَنْفِهِ الدَّمُ حَتَّى تَخْتَضِبَ أَصَابِعُهُ ثُمَّ يَفْتِلُهُ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي وَلاَ يَتَوَضَّأُ ‏.‏

What about this hadith should I follow it then? Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam that the ayat "You who believe! When you rise for prayer wash your faces, and your arms to the elbows, and wipe over your heads and your feet up to the ankles," refers to rising from bed, meaning sleep. Yahya said that Malik said, "The situation with us is that one does not have to do wudu for a nose-bleed, or for blood, or for pus issuing from the body. One only has to do wudu for impurities which issue from the genitals or the anus, or for sleep."

وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، أَنَّ تَفْسِيرَ، هَذِهِ الآيَةِ ‏{‏يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا قُمْتُمْ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ فَاغْسِلُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَأَيْدِيَكُمْ إِلَى الْمَرَافِقِ وَامْسَحُوا بِرُءُوسِكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ‏}‏ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ إِذَا قُمْتُمْ مِنَ الْمَضَاجِعِ ‏.‏ يَعْنِي النَّوْمَ ‏.‏ قَالَ يَحْيَى قَالَ مَالِكٌ الأَمْرُ عِنْدَنَا أَنَّهُ لاَ يَتَوَضَّأُ مِنْ رُعَافٍ وَلاَ مِنْ دَمٍ وَلاَ مِنْ قَيْحٍ يَسِيلُ مِنَ الْجَسَدِ وَلاَ يَتَوَضَّأُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدَثٍ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ ذَكَرٍ أَوْ دُبُرٍ أَوْ نَوْمٍ ‏.‏

Q: I stuck a tissue in my nose and found a small amount of blood on it. Is my wudhu broken? Also, If my finger is impure and I put it in my nose whilst the inside of my nose was wet or moist does the inside of my nose become impure? How do I purify the inside of my nose if it does become impure? Also, what is the difference between dry blood coming out of the nose and wet blood? What if there is blood inside the nose, is wudhu broken only when it comes out of the nose or is it broken even if it is still inside the nose? Because usually if you have a cut or wound, wudhu is broken when blood flows out of the wound but it's hard to tell in the nose. Is blood coming out of the nose the same as blood coming out of the wound?

Q: Everytime I offer salah and in standing and bowing position I feel wind coming out and I repeat my wudu. At other times I'm not sure whether wind came out. I'm getting really nervous and depressed. Is this waswasa from shaytan, please clarify.

Q: Taleemul haq states that if any liquids flow out of the body, Wudhu is broken. I did not know about this and I am not sure if I had ever popped a pimple and read my salaah after, but I might have done that. When I pop a pimple pus doesn't flow out but settles on the surface, do I have to make qadah salah?

Q: If a mother or anyone washed her kid's stool (which is not baligh), after that is her wudhu broken?

Q: If one sees someone keeping the tap open during wudhu which is very common nowadays should one do nahi anil munkar?

Q: From the following ibarat it is understood it is totally impermissible to leave the tap open during wudhu. E.g while doing masah of the head. Is this correct?

Q: In salah I keep feeling things on my leg and thighs and bowels. I keep getting uncertain whether wind came out. And after salah it becomes normal, I don't feel anything. Is this the waswasa of shaytan. Please clarify.
