  • Whoever forgot washing body part during Ghusl is not obliged to wash it immediately

    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.

  • Doubting discharge of Mani does not necessitate Ghusl

    Assalaamu alaykum. I am a 22-year-old male. I am getting a white fluid discharge frequently from my penis without any sexual arousal and without any erection.

  • Having doubts about passing wind during ablution

    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.

  • Starting with right side when clipping nails and combing hair

    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?

  • Performing ablution without rinsing mouth after lip injury

    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.

I am asking this question because I used to wipe over them normally,.. More

  • Rubbing body hair in Ghusl

    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

  • Earlobes not part of face in ablution

    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

    Assalaamu alaykum. I workmostly with non-Muslims in an office. During the prayer times, I cannot perform ablution with water in the bathroom as the floor will get wet.
