Day Questions

Is ghusl obligatory after killing a lizard?

It is not obligatory. One can performs it but still needs to perform the wudhu for prayers.

I know that one who does not perform istibrā after urinating must consider any liquid that comes out afterwards as urine. However, if one does not do istibrā, but afterwards feels some wetness, but doubts whether it was discharged from his penis or whether it has an external source, such as the water used for washing, should he consider it as urine?

If a person has not performed the process of istibrā, and there is doubt whether the discharged liquid is urine or not, the ruling is to consider it as najis. If one does not know whether the wetness is from any discharge or from an external source, then he does not consider it as urine.

If scientists genetically modify a fish that has no scales originally to produce (give birth to) fish that have scales, will those fish with scales be permissible to eat?

It is prohibited to consume fish that does not have scales. It is permissible to consume fish that have scales, even if they have them through genetic modification.
