Q: My question to you relates to Qiblah. We are moving to a new home InshaAllah, and we have realized that 3 of the 4 toilets are facing the qiblah, or atleast within the 15 degrees of the qiblah. What is the general ruling with regards to this? May the Almighty reward you for your efforts.
Q: Whilst doing istinja and washing away the urine, sometimes water goes towards the inner thighs, but is this water considered najis. Do I have to wash my thighs and my hand after washing away the urine, or is it considered clean because water is continuously running. I feel like I have to use more water this way and I'm not sure if I should be washing everything.
Q: I really need some advice on the principle of cleanliness. I use to see water sometimes go underneath the toilet seat and then onto the floor of the toilet. However, before I never realised this and carried on wearing sandals from the toilet to the bathroom, and sometimes walked in the toilet barefoot.
1) Does this mean the toilet floor and bathroom floor are najas because of water being transferred? Also, ever since buying a new toilet seat I have seen that this one doesn't allow water to fall from beneath the toilet seat onto the floor but my brother goes in barefoot and walks into the bathroom like that. When I usually clean the toilet seat I see urine underneath, which most likely means the water on the floor was najas all this time. I don't know if my toilet was mopped before or not, but
2) does this mean najas water has been tread on and transferred by foot everywhere. Also, I wash the sandals every time I see them flipped face downwards on the bathroom floor, even though this can be time consuming. I use to suffer from a lot of waswasa many years ago and pray to never go there again. I really need some clarity on this matter because I worry I might over do cleaning things again. I might be overthinking this because my mum also walks into the bathroom barefoot sometimes and even when the floor is wet, which makes me think I might be losing my mind again, but I don't ask her anything about it Incase she thinks I've lost my mind again.
3) If my family walk barefoot on the bathroom floor and then wear a clean pair of sandals I've washed, do I have to wash them again?
4) Furthermore, do I have to wipe the toilet seat with a dry tissue and then with a wet one every time I find the lid open? Does it matter if someone before me didn't wipe the toilet seat dry after finding the toilet lid open? (Sorry for making it very long) I have owned two hoovers so far, and the old one was used in the bathroom when the floor was wet but I didn't know much about cleanliness back then. With the new one, I don't remember if I've used it on the bathroom floor when it was wet, but I am 100% sure that I've used the shorter top end of it to clean the floor when it was wet. Does this mean the whole Hoover is najas; because I don't remember if I touched other parts of it with wetness on my hand.
5) what should I do to clean the Hoover? Do I just wipe the shorter end of it and leave it at that.
Q: I have a question that might seem self explanatory but theory had been a major fight in the family home concerning whether the spray from the toilet when the lid is open would make someone najis (dirty) if they sat down on it. Can you please clarify this as this has become a big issue with people leaving the toilet lid open and the flush makes a mist in the bathroom thus spreading microscopic particles and small drop everywhere. I appreciate your time.
Q: I have read that if someone urinates in the shower area, he or she suffers from waswasas. Is this true?
Q: If a person used zam zam water for istinjaa whilst having no other water available, will he be sinful?
Q: Is it Sunnah to cover the head while going to the toilet?
Q: A person, whilst on safr urgently needed to answer the call of nature. Unfortunately there was no water available for at least 30km's. Hence, he used juice (drink o pop - mix a drink) for istinjaa. Thereafter he made tayammum and offered his fajr salaah. Was the salaah valid or should it be repeated?
Q: Can I do istinja with toilet paper instead of water? Will my wudhu be valid if I just use toilet paper instead of water for istinja then perform the rest of the wudu or do I need to always use water?
Q: I am a student of engineering. I have a problem that when after passing urine and also cleaning it with tissue for 2-3 minutes but when I come out of the washroom, after doing wudhu, in prayer some urine comes out. Sometimes the drops are visible but sometimes they dry out. My Question is that should I continue my prayer? If they dry out then what should I do? I mean then what will be the procedure to clean myself, clothes? Will my wudhu be broken?
