  • Touching towel while performing ablution does not break it

    Assalaamu alaykum. If you unintentionally touch cotton or a towel or clothes while performing ablution or Ghusl (shower taken in case of major ritual impurity), does this break the ablution and Ghusl, or is it still valid? You are not meant to dry yourself till you finish, but this was unintentional. I also do not think that it would dry you very much.. More

  • Ablution and wiping over socks for someone who has urinary incontinence

    Assalaamu alaykum. This is my first time asking a question, so please forgive me if I have made mistakes. I have been suffering from urine drops coming out during and after ablution.

  • Brownish color means menstrual period has not ended

    Assalaamu alaykum. I am the one who asked question number 2640959. I read the awnsers to the other questions, but I am still confused, I really need a clear answer. If a woman inserts a piece of cotton into her vagina to check the end of her menstrual period and saw a white discharge that contains brownish spots, is the discharge regarded as a sign.. More

    I did Istijmaar (cleaning impurity using stones) from urine, and when I had finished and was clean, I did Istinjaa' (cleaning impurity using water),and when I was pouring water, I felt this feeling as if something came out. Should I ignore this, or should I pour again whenever this happens regardless of whether I did Istijmaar or Istinjaa' only? This.. More

    Assalaamu alaykum. Thank you for getting back to me regarding question 2641301. Ialready know about the ruling of the fatwas that you reffered me to.

  • Praying on floor that might have absorbed alcohol

    Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. A few months ago, I learned that every liquid intoxicant is impure. I also read a fatwa that says that if impurities penetrate an absorbing material like wood, it becomes impossible to purify it. My question is: if the wooden floor was varnished with a solvent that contains 20% of ethanol, does that.. More

    I have sporadic incontinence (breaking wind) and became Ma'zoor(excused) during Fajr time. So I performed ablution and started praying. During the prayer, I broke wind and thought to myself that my ablution is invalid, and immediately after that, I remembered that I am a Ma'zoor and completed the prayer. Is my prayer valid? .. More

  • Applying petroleum jelly, oil, or cream before ablution

    I have read your fatwas on ablution and the application of creams, oils, and so on, but I would prefer a personal answer because of the specific nature of my question. When we apply petroleum jelly, oil, or cream on our face and hands, it does not really form a layer that does not allow water to run off or has to be scraped clean. So does this mean.. More
