Tahaarat

س: "chin" لا أدري كيف هذه الكلمة في العربية و لكن أفهم معناها. هل هو جزء من الوجه، الذي يجب غسله في الوضوء؟

Q: In Europe leather men shoes have leather sole. Mostly this leather is from pork-leather since the sole has to be soft, and being soft is one of characteristic of pork-leather. Now it is that most Muslim buy such shoes and wear them. My question is since these shoes are commonly worn and we do not know exactly who wears them only that is very common, how should our behavior be in the rows of Salaah since people do stand feet to feet. Their socks do they become impure by wearing the shoes as inside the shoe there will some humidity after all, and people do touch each other with their feet i.e with the socks. Since this is a matter of Umoom al Balwaa what is the view of the Ulamaa on this issiue?

Q: If one gets 1 drop of urine on his knee, does the skin become pure by wiping the drop away with a dry tissue and thereafter wiping the skin with a wetted tissue ?

Q: When I make wudhu it takes too long at times as I feel I am not wetting or covering all parts of the limb I am washing. This is also causing the wastage of water. What can I do to ensure that I do not waste water and over wash? If I rub water over my arms or legs 3 times (and try to cover all areas of the arm or leg) but not every single hair gets wet will this count as still being wet and my wudhu accepted? I would say my arms and legs take the longest.

Q: I have a few questions regarding purity. I would appreciate  a response.  I am subject to whispers from Shaitain, and want to understand these matters properly so I can confront this issue.

1. How can one use water to clean themselves after defecating in a modern toilet without getting splashes of water on themselves?  I place toilet paper in the water, but water still splashes onto me.  I often shower the lower part of my body after defecating to be precautious, but I am torn between the feeling that I am wasting water, and doing something most people don't do on the one hand, and the desire to be clean without doubt on the other.
2. To clean a garment that has urine or sperm on it, is it sufficient to wash under a lot of running water a sufficient amount of time, or must  it be washed and wrung three times?
3. When cleaning clothes with najasah on them in a washing machine, what if drops of water from the first cycle splash onto the inside roof of the washing machine, and then those drops of water fall back into the water during a later cycle.  Will these drops of water impurify the clothes?  Is this excessive detail?
4. If someone has wet feet and they walk on carpet or slippers on which there is something impure, is the impurity considered to have transferred onto their feet?{C}

Q: If making ghusl on Thursday evening after maghrib, have you fulfilled the sunna of making ghusl on Yoam al-Jomua?

Q: What is the status of water that is recycled from sewerage?

Q: If after washing the face for the 3rd time in wudhu, a beard hair fall out, should that place be washed again? Or if one washed his arm three times and thereafter a piece of skin on his arm peeled off, should the 'new' skin be washed again?

Q: I received the following message on my bbm and I would like to verify the contents before I forward it to anybody as there is no source attached to it. 

Q: What is the Islamic ruling on vaginal discharge that females commonly experience? Many ladies are confused about this issue, especially when they get different answers from various Ulema.

A: There are basically three types of vaginal fluid that Shariah has ruled on. Two are mentioned above, viz. Moisture inside the vagina, secreted from membranes that line the vagina, and fluid that flows from the cervix into the vagina. The third type of moisture is that which is found on the outer labia or the lips of the vagina. Sometimes this fluid also flows onto the area outside the vagina. Medically fluids that exit from the vagina can come from the cervix or neck of the uterus, or from glands inside the vagina itself. Sometimes the source of these fluids is attributed to the fallopian tubes. Clearly this is difficult for a woman to determine. Therefore, the following rules, based largely on the view of Imam Abu Hanifa (rahmatullahi alayhi) will perhaps ease matters for our sisters: 

1) Moisture that is secreted from the lining of the vagina is a matter of dispute among the former Jurists. Imam Abu Hanifa, and majority of the Shaafi’ Scholars hold that such moisture is paak or clean, and does not nullify wudhu if it flows out. We, therefore, maintain that the normal discharge a women experiences will not nullify wudhu. 

2) A ‘normal’ discharge is usually clear, cloudy or whitish, moderate in quantity, thin or slightly viscous, and with a mild odour. This does NOT break wudhu. 

3) A discharge that is yellowish or greenish, and very thick, with a strong odour or bad stench should be regarded as impure and will nullify wudhu, for such a discharge is definitely from an area beyond the vagina, and may include the fallopian tubes, the womb, or ovaries. 

4) Underwear that is soiled by this fluid has to be washed. Women who suffer excessive discharge of this nature shall have to use pads to absorb the flow and thus protect the underwear. 

Q: Is the clear discharge of a woman which is odorless najis and does it break the wudhu?
