Impurities

Lizard, cockroach, mouse touching utensils and clothing

Q:

1. Today I found a lizard in the utensils cupboard and in trying to kill it, it hid inside the cupboard and traveled from one to another. I did not know where it went, so I took out all utensils. Still I did not find it. I washed all utensils of all the cupboards by pouring water once. It took around 3 to 4 hours in doing all the effort. I am not worried that if I place the utensils again and i find it again, do I have to wash all the utensils again? It was really so hectic. Is lizard najis?

2. A cockraoch ran over my leg in the washroom. I poured water over there three times. Had I become paak? I read in an islamic website that a cockraoch in the washroom is napaak. Is it true?

3. Last year a mouse used to come from Indian toilet and roam around the washroom. We somehow managed to get rid of them. But once a shirt piece of my suit fell down over the washroom floor place where it used to come every night. I washed it many times but I don't feel like wearing it as I feel that the mouse used to come from such a dirty place with traces of dirty water from the flush and my cloth fell down on the floor. Am I doing right by not wearing it?

Will the smell of mazi on one's linen render it impure?

Q:

1. I was wondering if the pillows that have been stained by the smell of madhiy through clothes but not directly stained by the moisture itself are impure? (There's no smell on them anymore). I just embarrassingly knew about madhiy this week and I'm trying to repent and avoid sinning thoughts. I masturbate quite often using my pillows before and I'm worried about other things that could have been stained by the smell from the pillows. 

2. I haven't washed anything on my bed and I'm still using them for sleeping and I couldn't possibly wash everything as I don't know which thing could also have been stained by the smell. As they are no visible traces of impurity, I let them dry under the sun is this okay?

3. And I'm also having doubts as sometimes when my feet and hands are wet I get on the bed and I'm wondering if my feet and hands become napaak? My indoor cat also loves to lay on my bed and walk around the house, does this mean I have to wash her?

How many times should one wash impurity off one's hands?

Q: I want to ask that if one's hands are very dirty e.g. if urine drops can be seen on one's hands then how many times should the hands be washed. Beyond that limit of washing, will it be a sin. I'm asking this because I'm getting mad day by day as I wash my hands for 20 to 25 times with soap, so it very irritatating to wash so many times as I'm not getting satisfied that my hands are now clean.

Urine incontinence in ihraam

Q: I'm going for Hajj this year Insha Allah. I have a problem of urine drops leaking after urinating and this problem can stay for over an hour after passing urine. This problem has also affected me to perform Salaah sometimes since I feel I'm always unclean. Since I have planned for hajj, I am worried how I will stay in ihraam for such a long time with this problem? I want my my hajj to be accepted and want it to be perfect. Please advise what should I do since I am very worried.

Doubts regarding impurity

Q: My two questions are below:

1. When I shop at a butcher or other store I often find that even though the store is muslim owned they often have non-muslims helping to pack the bought stuff. On a few occasions I found that when they packing my stuff which is often frozen and therefore wet/moist they first lick their fingers to open the packet, therefore their hands have their saliva and then they touch my bought items which are wet. Does this then make my bought items napaak as I am not sure if their saliva is paak?

2. My aunt lives in a complex, near the entrance gate the floor is always wet as the cleaners sometimes clean the front area and also the residents throw the water they use to clean their homes out in the front. My aunt also mentioned to me that the sewage pipe is near the gate and it sometimes leaks. Therefore I never know the source of the wetness on the floor. When I visit and walk on this wet area (it is hard to avoid as the whole entrance is wet), I am not sure whether my shoes and everywhere I walk thereafter with my shoes are becoming napaak. Please can you advise what I should do in this situation?

Cleaning a soiled sofa

Q: My neice diaper leaked and i did not know... I allowed her to sit on the sofa and as soon as she sat, a spot appeared on the sofa, I asked her to get up and changed the diaper. As a precaution I wiped the place with surf and then with a wet cloth. The next day I cleaned the sofa by pouring water over the spot three times. Has it become paak because my mother offers prayers by sitting on that sofa thats why I am concerned? Plus the water reached on the lower part of the sofa which becomes a bed. Does that part become napaak as I read somewhere that if you clean something with a jug of water, the water which flows is napaak? Keeping in mind it was just a spot which did not go on the lower part of the sofa. Also explain for the future how to clean a sofa matress, etc. if a child urinates on it?

Cleaning the blood and pus after bursting a pimple

Q:

1. Is it necessary to wash the area from where a blackhead is removed?

2. I often get pimples on my face and other parts of my body I heard that the pus that comes out of the pimple is impure, does it means that I have to wash the area after it came out or just remove it with the help of tissue paper? If it is necessary to wash then if a pimple burst on my right cheek or forehead, how to wash it (just put some water on that area or to wash my whole face). 

3. Sometime blood also comes after the pus and after it stops a white water like fluid comes out what is ruling about it? Do I have to wash it or just use tissue paper to remove it?

4. Often pimple burst while taking ritual bath (Ghusal) What to do then? Sometimes blood or pus takes a lot of time to stop i.e. it keeps coming out in small amounts, what to do then?

Washing a tap close to the toilet

Q: I'm confused about the following:

In a combined washroom where there is basin as well as toilet. After istinja a person openes the tap to wash hands and then closes the tap. Is it necessary to wash the tap handle after washing the hands as the washroom is in common use at home and you dont know if some one touches with impure hands. What is the ruling for it?
