  • Washing holes in the skin during ghusl

    Assalaamu alaykum. I want to ask you regarding ghusl (ritual bath taken in the state of major ritual impurity). At my penis, I have some overlapping skin that forms a very small hole, like an earring hole, which is wide enough for a needle to pass through it. I find it it very hard to insert water inside this hole, so I just pour water on top of it... More

  • Making ghusl before ascertaining that menstrual period is over

    On the last day of my menses, I saw a colored discharge before making ghusl (bath taken in case of major ritual impurity) and took a bath assuming it to be the last, colored (reddish) discharge. I made the intention that if my period was over, then that would be a ghusl, and if not, then it would be a normal bath, and I did ghusl. However, I did not.. More

  • Whether water used to remove impurity is pure or impure

    Shaykh, impurity that is invisible (hukmiyah) is removed by pouring water on that place once. My question, however, is the following: If my chest becomes impure but the impurity that is invisible when I pour water on it goes to different parts of my body that are pure (with the water), such as my stomach, legs, and so on. Does this water then cause.. More

  • When the tail of a woman's garment touches dog stool

    Assalaamu alaukum, Mufti. It is said that the long garment of women gets purified by whatever comes after it. Now, what if it is dog stool, because it is quite hard to avoid, especially if one is in a hurry and does not look where she walks. Thank you. .. More

  • Ghusl is only required when a person wishes to perform what requires major ritual purity

    Assalaamu alaykum. I have been Muslim for about ten months now, and I will soon be taking part in a ladies sales event in a local mosque environment with another sister.

    Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. When I perform ablution and I have mucus that comes out of my nose and mixes with water on my skin, is my ablution valid?

    Assalaamu alaykum. I want to know if holding gas after ablution or during prayers breaks the ablution? I do not know if there are differences among the schools of thought, but I want to know what the Maliki madhhab and other schools of thought say about that. .. More

  • Color of henna (mehndi) does not invalidate wudhoo and ghusl

    Assalaamu alaykum. I want to apply mehndi (henna) to my hands. However, only chemical mehndi is readily available in the market, and my friend says that wudu (ablution) or ghusl (major ablution) is not right as long I have the color of chemical mehndi on my hands. Is she right? .. More

  • Performing ghusl without washing the ears

    Assalaamu alaykum. I am a Hanafi, but I did not know that you had to wash your ears until today. Does this mean that all my previous ghusls (ritual shower) were invalid, and all my acts of worship based on those ghusls too? Is it obligatory to wash the feet if a person showers and then walk a few steps while doing so; for example, to get something from.. More

  • A stolen item is not ritually impure

    Assalaamu alaykum. My question is the following: for example, I stay with people that are not really worried about eating stolen foods or using stolen perfumes and so on. If I get into contact with those foods, perfumes, and so on, can I then pray in this state, or do I have to wash it off? Please note that it is really hard to avoid. .. More

My next question is: if I only wash the part that I did not wash the day before, do I need.. More

  • Proper removal of impurity from the body

    If a cloth has been contaminated by urine, mathy, wadi, and so on, then it would certainly have to be rubbed while washing it for proper cleansing. But is this a necessary condition for a body part, such as the penis or the leg if it becomes contaminated with urine, mathy, wadi, and so on? Does this have to be rubbed while washing, or is pouring water.. More

  • Moisture on newborn's skin is ritually pure

    Assalaamu alaykum. 1. When does a newborn's first bath need to be after birth? The hospital I am going to believes that the 'slimy stuff' (I think its called vernix caseosa) is medically good for the baby and the baby's skin. Because of this, the hospital only wipes the baby after birth and will only bathe the baby after 2 days. 2. Do I need to request.. More
