Assalaamu alaykum. I know that if a person remembers not having washed a part of their body during Ghusl (ritual shower), they can wash it when they remember. That said, if a person remembers but does not wash the missed area immediately, is their Ghusl invalidated? For example: they are walking towards the washroom in order to wash the missed area.. More
Assalaamu alaykum. I would like to know what the ruling is on cloth fibres that get under the nails or transfer from the hijab onto the hair. Do they have to be removed before performing ablution? I was wiping my hair one day during ablution, and when I rinsed my hands, I saw the fibres from my hijab in the sink. Thank you!

if there is impurity on my chest, for example, and I stand under the shower while this impurity is washed away, going down on to the bath through the drain, do I have to wash any body part below that then? For example, do I have to wash the feet, as the water that I washed the impurity with reached my feet?

Assalaamu alaykum, Scholars. While I was performing ablution to pray the Fajr prayer, I had a doubt whether I passed wind or not. I thought I did not, but I was unsure. Nevertheless, I ignored it and continued performing ablution and then prayed normally. Was this correct? Was my ablution correct?

Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, Shaykh. It is Sunnah to start from the right, but is it also correct to start from the right and then go from the right to the left? For example, if I start combing my hair, I start from the right following the Sunnah of starting with the right, but then what? Do I randomly comb my hair, or it is Sunnah.. More
Assalaamu alaykum. I received a cut on the inside of my lip while playing soccer, but the blood was most likely very little since I do not remember tasting blood in my mouth and continued playing.

Assalaamu alaykum. Is it permissible for someone who often has drops of urine coming out after the ablution to then wipe over their socks and keep them on without removing them until the next ablution and wipe over them even if during the previous ablution, a drop of urine came out? I am asking this question because I used to wipe over them normally,.. More
Assalaamu alaykum. In Ghusl (ritual bath), I know that you have to rub the hair on the head and the beard in order to ensure that water reaches the skin underneath, but what about the short hair on the legs and the private parts? Is it sufficient to let water go over them or do you have to rub the hair in these areas too? Also, regarding the short hair.. More
Assalaamu alaykum. Thanks a lot for all your answers. I asked for the definition of the face in the context of ablution, but the fatwa that you referred me to did not specifically answer my question. My question is: how much of the face shouldbe washed horizontally? I came to know that this should be done from earlobe to earlobe. Does this mean that.. More
