  • Washing impurity off table or floor

    Assalaamu alaykum. How should I wash a surface (a table or floor) that had Mani (semen)or Mathi (pre-ejaculatory fluid)on it? Is it enough to wet a rag and then wipe the area once? If I need to wipe more than once, do I need to wash the rag each time before each wipe? .. More

  • Praying on floor that might have absorbed alcohol

    Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. A few months ago, I learned that every liquid intoxicant is impure. I also read a fatwa that says that if impurities penetrate an absorbing material like wood, it becomes impossible to purify it. My question is: if the wooden floor was varnished with a solvent that contains 20% of ethanol, does that.. More

  • Wind incontinence during prayer

    I have sporadic incontinence (breaking wind) and became Ma'zoor(excused) during Fajr time. So I performed ablution and started praying. During the prayer, I broke wind and thought to myself that my ablution is invalid, and immediately after that, I remembered that I am a Ma'zoor and completed the prayer. Is my prayer valid? .. More

  • Applying petroleum jelly, oil, or cream before ablution

    I have read your fatwas on ablution and the application of creams, oils, and so on, but I would prefer a personal answer because of the specific nature of my question. When we apply petroleum jelly, oil, or cream on our face and hands, it does not really form a layer that does not allow water to run off or has to be scraped clean. So does this mean.. More

  • Touching condensed water on beer can

    If Iaccidentlytouch a cold can of beer in a store and the condensation of the can leaves water on my hand even though the can is unopened and the water is the water that accumulated on the outside of the can from the temperature of the fridge, do I have to wash my hands from this, or should I leave it alone as it is just condensation on the can given..

  • Purity of slip agents used in plastic bags

    Assalaamu alaykum. I recently found out that many plastic bags (and other plastics) contain 'slip agents' that are made from rendered animal fat. Does that mean that they are impure? And are we spreading impurityby touching wet plastic? May Allaah reward you. .. More

  • How sufferer of urinary incontinence prepares for prayer

    Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. Dear brother, please answer my question directly and do not refer me to other fatwas as I have already seen many of them, and please give me the strongest opinion if there is a difference if opinion. The question is: Someone has urinary incontinence that happens with movement and would like to know.. More

  • 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)..

    Assalaamu alaykum. Please, can you advise if multi-purpose cleaning wipes can be used to clean impurities on smooth surfaces such as wardrobes, doors, handles, tables, and so on, because in this day and age, a lot of people use these? Is this method regarded pure? What about furnishings with pores? These are wet wipes that are antibacterial and kill.. More

Please tell me. I have looked through all the fatwas on urine but did not found a suitable answer. I feel that what I did was right since the water took away the impurity.. More

  • 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
