  • Purity of slip agents used in plastic bags

  • Removing Maniyy and Mathi from your body

    With regards to Mathi (pre-ejaculatory fluid)and Mani (semen),are we supposed to wipe them off and pour water over the privates, or is pouring water without wiping sufficient? For example, if Mathi comes out and I wipe what is on the surface and then pour water, is that enough to purify, or should I wipe, pour water, and then wipe again multiple times?.. More

  • No need to wash legs after using restroom

    Assalaamu alaykum. Please, is it true that it is from the Sunnah that whenever somebody goes to the toilet or restroom, they should wash their legs because they may have touched or stepped on impurity? If yes, then what is the quantity of water required? This has added to my Waswaas (obsessive whisperings),each time I go to relieve myself, I keep on.. More

  • Waswaas about purity from feminine discharge

    Assalaamu alaykum. I read that women have to perform ablution for every prayer due to the female discharge, and that discharge from the uterus is pure but impure from the urethra. I apply this as much as I can, and since I cannot distinguish between urethral and uterus discharge, I wash my private parts before every prayer and sprinkle water on my clothes.. More

    Are dogs pure or impure? {Say: Lawful for you are [all] good foods and [game caught by] what you have trained of hunting animals which you train as Allah has taught you.} [Quran 5:4] Ibn Mughaffal reported that the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam,ordered killing the dogs and then said, “What about them?” (i. e. about other dogs)..

  • Using fabric softener that has beef products in ingredients

    I saw a fatwa here, but I need more clarification because it does not really go into detail about beef in non-edible products. If beef is used in fabric softener, but not pork, can we use it on our clothes even though we do not know if it was Zabiha beef, or is the ruling of Istihaalah applicable? If we cannot, and we have already used it, then are.. More

    Assalaamu alaykum. My question is quite a personal one, but it is important to know for me. It has been around a month since I got married.

After I again made Ghusl today, the bleeding.. More

  • Shaafi'is' view regarding shaving beard

    Assalaamu alaykum. I read somewhere that there is Ijmaa’ (consensus among the scholars)on the fist-length beard as being mandatory, and once there is Ijmaa’, nothing can change it after that. However, in the Shaafi'i Fiqh, I read that the strong position regarding the beard is that it is disliked to shave it. So is the Shaafi'i Fiqh going against.. More

    Assalamu alaykum. I have a question regarding Istijmaar(purifying oneself from defecating or urinating by wiping with a solid material).I have read the following statement: Ibn Qudaamah said in Al-Mughni (1/102), “Both things are stipulated together: purification and completing three; one of them done without the other is not sufficient. This is the.. More

  • Impurity is only transmitted if it is damp

    Assalaamu alaykum. My question is a very different question. Please help me and guide me. If something in your home is impure and you know about it and your family members touch it or use it and they are not aware of the impurity of that particular thing but only you are aware of the impurity, then what should be done? Should you tell them about the.. More

  • Washing bedcovers stained with semen

    Assalaamu alaykum. I put my bedsheets/bedcovers in the washing machine due to the impurity of semen (I am aware that there are different opinions about this, but I take the more difficult view in order to be on the safe side - I am not sure if this is correct either). One of the bedcovers is waterproof (to protect the mattress). The washing machine.. More
