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?
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.
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?
Wudhu breaking through mazi coming out
Q: Does mazi discharge make ghusal necessary?
Rubbing the earring holes with wet fingers while making ghusl
Q: For fardh ghusl, is putting a wet earring in the ear holes necessary or is rubbing the hole with wet fingers sufficient?
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?
Delaying fardh ghusal and missing salaah
Q: If a person gets nightfall (wet dream) but does not perform ghusl that day and then the next night he gets nightfall again and now he performs ghusl… Is this ghusl enough for both nightfalls or will he need to perform ghusl twice?
