Living in a hostel

Q:

1. I live in a hostel and I have to share bathrooms with kaafirs. My question is I have doubts about the purity of the bucket but I don't see any kind of visible najaasat. What I used to do was I fill up the bucket till the water overflow and I use the water from that bucket without throwing it and recently I have seen on this website that you have to throw the water to make that bucket pure. So was I impure all the time and do I have to repeat my prayers.

2. My room mate uses anti anti-perspirants like powder and I see particles on the floor and I don't know whether that powder is made from halaal sources or not. My leg touches those particles which is very much less than a dirham even after combining all the particles. Does my leg become impure and the places where I keep my feet also became impure? It was less than a dirham size.

Washing impure clothes in a washing machine

Q: I live in a hostel where we have a card operating washing machine which has a wash cycle of complete 30 minutes. Are then my clothes regarded as pure? After that I place my clothes on a rope basically a wire which even non Muslims share. Keeping in mind that they may keep their impure clothes on the wire and then if I keep my pure clothes on it do they become impure again? On the wire there is no visible najasat. Will my clothes be pure?

Cleaning the laundry bag

Q: There is a laundry bag in which we keep our dirty clothing. Sometimes the clothes are soiled with urine drops or semen and we keep it in there for washing. I want to clean the bag but it cannot be washed as it doesn't fit in the machine due to the wires. How can I make it paak? Putting it under running water will make the bathroom wet. Can I wipe it with a wet cloth. Will it be clean enough. It's made out of polyester so I don't know if wetness is transferred.

Washing off impurity

Q: If there is impurity on a table or chair, how many times do I have to wipe it? Is it necessary to wipe it three times or if no traces of impurity is seen. If traces of something invisible like urine etc are there does wiping once or twice suffice. Also if I wash blood stained or impurity stained clothes in washing machine once will they be pure? Do I have to run rinse 3 times as I feel I am wasting water.

Urine drops problem

Q: I felt like a drop of urine came out. I sat on the chair then I went and changed my clothes. I forgot about the chair. I realised after a few days I was sitting there I took out the seat and washed it. People have sat on the chair and touched the spot and touched other places. I don't know if hands were wet or if impurity was on the chair or has spread. Is the whole chair impure as it is covered in cloth material. How can I make it pure. I'm feeling very distressed.

Doubts regarding impurity

Q: After touching my wife's private part I touched my phone and headphones. I wiped my phone later but not the headphones. I have used the headphones a lot of times and also touched places. Has the whole house become impure. I have touched the headphones with dry hands mostly.

Ma'zoor due to urine drops

Q: I have asked many times these questions regarding a mazoor with incontinence of urine, but my problems are getting worse. It is very difficult for me to wash my private part and clothes for every Salaah. I don't want to leave my prayer. Can I only make wudhu and pray namaz and Qur'an, because it is very hard to wash the private part and clothes for every Salaah for a mazoor like me? Please guide me according to Hadith.
