Water dripping from the limbs for wudhu to be valid

Q: A scholar mentioned that it is fardh (obligatory) for two drops of water to fall from every hair and part of the skin that must be washed in wuḍūʾ. If this does not occur, it will be considered as masah (wiping) rather than proper washing. However, another scholar stated that as long as two drops of water fall from the entire limb, the wuḍūʾ will be valid, and it will be considered as washed. Which of these opinions is correct according to the Sharīʿah? 

Performing wudhu using a spray bottle

Q: 

1. If wuḍuʾ is performed using a spray bottle, is the wuḍuʾ valid? 

2. With regard to the obligatory (farḍ) parts of the body that must be washed in wuḍuʾ, is it necessary for two drops of water to fall from each hair and part of the skin, or is it sufficient for two drops to fall from the entire organ (e.g., the face), even if only two drops fall in total after spraying water? 

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?

Wudhu and fasting for a person who has a problem with bleeding gums

Q: I have a problem of bleeding gums. The bleeding occurs anytime during the day or night. Sometimes I am unaware of it and other times I spit and rinse my mouth when I get taste in my mouth. My questions are 

1. How do I maintain wudu in this state? This is causing me to perform wudu multiple times sometimes. 

2. How do I fast? I try my best to rinse my mouth continuously when I am awake to avoid swallowing. But I am worried about when I am asleep and don't know if I swallowed or not. 

3. If my fasts are becoming invalid what is the kaffarah I need to pay? Should I pay for all the previous Ramadans because I am not sure about when I started suffering from the bleeding gums problem.

Touching a wallet with impure hands

Q: If a wallet was touched with impure hands and a person keeps that wallet in their pocket and performed salaah with it, what is the validity of their salaah? 

I’m not sure what the impurity was as a few years ago it would be difficult to control impurities and most of the things I touched would become impure. I did wash/wipe the wallet but I’m not sure how long after that was.
