Water entering the piercing hole when making ghusl

6 days ago By user2

Q: If I get new ear piercings, is ghusl valid if I don't twist or move the ear studs? I am told by the piercer that the new piercing shouldn't be touched or twisted as it affects healing. The ear stud rests against my skin. I'm not sure if it can be classified as so tight that water doesn't reach the skin the ear stud rests on. 

Is ghusl valid without touching the ear studs? If I move it back and forth then it will affect healing or cause it to bleed in the shower.

Using a continuous glucose monitor

Q: I am, as per blood results and my doctor, on the brink of Type 2 diabetes. One of the options to try and reverse this is to use a continuous glucose monitor. What is the position with this in terms of ghusl? 

The patch is kept on for 14 days at a time and then changed. Please advise what is the position in terms of ghusl as if we are required to remove this in ghusl then it cannot work as each patch costs almost R1500 per 2 weeks.

Spending lengthy periods of time in the shower

Q: I have a urine leak problem. So after I shower I wipe dry then wash close to the slit so that I can be as pure as possible and then dry that water up. At times the water flows away without leaving a bead of water left over and sometimes it leaves a bead.

Now I fear that if that bead of water moves it will go on a part of impurity on my private part, all the water on my private part in some way or the other is connected to each other due to lines/wrinkles on the skin. 

Does it now make the whole private part impure? What would be an easy way in making istinja or even coming out of the shower? 

Sometimes in attempt to get the water to flow off immediately I spend 45 mins plus in the bathroom.

Heating the water for ghusl and performing fajr salaah in its time

Q: A person wakes up in need of a Fardh Ghusl 15 minutes before sunrise. There is no hot water and the person has chronic health issues. Using cold water will cause his health to deteriorate. It takes approximately 15 minutes to heat up sufficient water for Ghusl. If he waits, the time will expire and Fajr Salaah will become Qadha. What should be done in such a situation?

Q: My question is regarding the validity of intercourse's in Islam. I newly got married. Once we were trying penetration while standing. The attempt was briefly for 20 seconds. The standing position is a bit difficult position and I know that my full tip of penis never penetrated her vaginal opening. My wife says that it never penetrated her vagina. 

Now I am getting waswasa what if my tip of penis entered the vestibular area or got a cover from labia minora. What to do incase of doubt when the wife is sure that penetration never happened and I know I never penetrated her vaginal opening but not sure if the full tip maybe disappeared in to the vulva (Farje kharij). 

What to do in this case? What should be the case if my wife is certain and I am uncertain?
