Tahaarat

Removing the Qur'an from one's pocket before entering the toilet

Q: Regarding a person having a small Quran in his top kurtha pocket, and whether going into the toilet would be permissible if:

1) The kurtha pocket is open?

2) There is a single press stud /button on the pocket leaving some portion slightly open?

3) The pocket is zipped closed, or has a flap over it and a button?

4) There is another pocket hidden behind the front pocket, which can be accessed by opening the chest buttons and putting ones hand inside behind the front pocket. This pocket doesn't have a button etc. Would keeping the Quran there and entering the toilet be permissible?

Back touching a dua paper

Q: I have a paper which has the dua to read when you wake up in the morning stuck to my wall so I don't forget. As I was making my bed today i didn't remember or it just slipped my mind but as I was fixing my bed my backside or back might have touched the paper. It was an accident. I didn't mean to and now I don't know what to do. I didn't know if I could touch the paper to move it after because I am napak from my period and I don't know what to to do? Did I commit a very big sin? What do I do know ? I am a very doubtful person and I keep thinking that I will be severely punished and I am very scared and I don't know what to do.

Doubts regarding tahaarat

Q: Sometimes I have weird urination dreams. I dreamt of urinating and then I woke up as I thought it was real as I felt a weird sensation. I checked my pants they were dry I was wearing a pad but I didn't feel any wetness or heaviness I went back to sleep as my pants felt dry. Now when I got up my underwear was probably had moisture from wearing it. I did not feel any smell of urine neither did the pad felt wet from it. I'm doubting that what if it had come out and I didn't check. I'm getting paranoid as I don't know whether it happened or not. What should I do I had regarded it as a doubt and have sat everywhere and now I'm feeling doubtful.

Ma'zoor reciting Qur'an Shareef

Q: I am a mazoor suffering from incontinence of urine

1. Is reciting Qur'an shareef forgiven for me because of weak bladder?

2. During namaz urine keeps coming out because of weak bladder. I know my wudhu wont break but urine comes out at every action of my body and I can't control actions like (sitting, walking, putting pressure on bladder). So I know when I will be sitting a drop of urine will come out, so is my wudhu still valid or I have to make new wudhu? Remember I am mazoor suffering from urine incontinence from starting till end.

Discharge problem

Q: I am a very doubtful person and I might be suffering from OCD but I am trying to recover slowly. Sometimes when I have to go somewhere at night like to a dinner with my parents I make wudu before I start getting ready so I can be sure to pray maghrib before I leave but when I don't get ready I will doubt if I my wudu has broken or not because I get discharge all the time but I have heard that this doesn't require wudu, but discharge when one thinks of something inappropriate does require wudu. With OCD I can't control thoughts that come into my head so I am trying to learn to just let them pass and not effect me because the more I try to get rid of bad thoughts the more they come. So I am trying to just let them pass. But when I think that did my wudu break, I say no then I am like did I get any bad thoughts and that brings bad thoughts into my mind. I can't control it. They will pass if I don't pay attention to them but if I obsess over it then it gets very stressful for me and I start to panic so I can never keep my wudu and always have to do it again. because a thought will come into my head and I can't control it. What do I do in this case because there is never enough time to go do wudu again because everyone is getting ready to leave so I either have to read namaz when I get home or make everyone upset because they have to wait for me and this happens all the time. I can never keep my wudu for longer than a duration of a namaz and sometimes even then I will get bad thoughts but I ignore those or else I would never be able to finish a single namaz. What do I do in this case do I always do wudu or can I just keep it as long as I haven't passed gas or went to the bathroom because this causes me a lot of hardship as I always have to renew my wudu before namaaz. Also if my zuhr got delayed because I was out and I prayed it as soon as I could at home and one hour later it was asr, do I do wudu again if the thoughts come because during a situation like this it becomes very hard to make wudu when I just did it an hour ago. Please give me advice on what I should do. I can't just stop the thoughts because me trying to do that just makes it worse. So i'm slowly trying to lean to lessen them as my OCD gets better. Please if you could offer some advice.

Doubts and stray thoughts

Q: A year back in my absence some people living in the house used to consume alcohol. When I came back I washed the utensils and made them clean. However I cleaned the glasses with liquid soap and water using my hand and not a sponge as I did not want impurity to spread. I also washed the glasses later on when some kitchen work was going on. Though I don't use those glasses but I feel that whenever it touches other utensils it makes it impure. Only recently I saw a black dot stuck on it. It could be dust etc as we don't use those glasses now. I'm being paranoid that what if I hadn't washed it properly those two times and it's impurity stuck. A pure utensil had touched the glasses and now I'm being very paranoid. I'm tired of this ocd problem of mine and sometimes I feel that religion is over burdening and I can't handle it. Please help me. As I fear that Allah will just not accept my worship and instead of praying I keep myself involved in all this.
