  • Humans and cats do not become impure if they eat impure food

    Assalaamu alaykum. If a cat is given haram food to eat (like cat food with pork or other haram meat in it), does the cat itself become impure?

  • Wiping ears in wudhoo is Sunnah

    Assalaamu alaykum. Sometimes, when I wipe the back of my ears with my thumbs in wudoo (ablution), my thumb does not cover all of the back of my earlobes. Is my wudoo still valid, or do I have to make sure that I wipe every small part of the back of my ear when I do wudoo. .. More

  • Urinating while call to prayer is being made

    Can I urinate while the muezzin is calling the azan? Some of my friends refrain from urinating during the azan thinking that it is forbidden. Likewise, can I continue doing my work like reading or writing during the azan, or should I repeat after the muezzin? .. More

  • Doubting washing the interior part of the ears after finishing ghusl

    Assalaamu alaykum. I always perform the Sunnah ghusl (ritual bath) from janabah (state of major ritual impurity).

I always wash behind the ears and wipe them during the wudu (ablution) part of ghusl, but I strongly suspect that I have not.. More

  • Sending impure clothes for washing

    I give my impure clothes for washing. People who wash my clothes put them in a washing machine or a tub and wash them once or twice or more .

  • Performing ghusl with streaming water (fountain, river, shower)

    Assalaamu alaykum. Dear brothers, I read some books about ghusl (ritual bath) with streaming water (fountain, river, shower).

May Allaah bless all of the.. More

  • Trimming beard hair that grows on cheeks

    Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. Praise be to Allaah, I am doing my best to grow my beard, as I have been commended. My issue is that my beard mostly grows on the cheeks with much less growing on the bottom of my face; thus, I look strange and unnatural. Is it okay for me to trim the sides enough to match the rest of my beard? May.. More

  • Mathy does not necessitate immediate ablution

    When I defecate, then sometimes, due to pressure, some semen or a white fluid (it may be mathiy) comes out, without feeling any pleasure, so I just wash it off and continue as normal. I have got to know that the emission of semen without feeling pleasure does not necessitates ghusl (ritual bath), but I am worried and wonder whether if it is mathiy I.. More

    Assalaamu alaykum. During the hot months, the water from the shower is so hot that the small bathroom that I use becomes humid quickly.

Just recently, in the middle of my ghusl (which I did standing), I was dizzy and was using the wall for support when I lifted one of my feet.. More

  • Purity of the water of a well near a sanitary tank

    Assalaamu alaykum. I would like to ask a question regarding the eligiblity of water to be used for ablution and ghusl (ritual bath). Here in the Maldives, we get lots of fresh water from wells. Likewise, our well also provides us with fresh well water. The problem, however, is that there is a sanitary tank near our well which I suspect is leaking and.. More

    Assalaamu alaykum. I live in the UK, and as you may know, many shower gels/soaps/shampoos/etc here contain haram pig, beef, and so on, hence, they are possiblyimpure. I never used to check the ingredients of the products that I used because I was ignorant about this issue until recently. 1. Do I have to go back and check the ingredients of all the.. More
