There is an alcohol called Ethyl (also known as Ethanol) which is supposed to be in many normal drinks, by a percentage of around 0.05%. A beverage company has openly stated it on their website. The amount seems so small, and I am sure in essence it changes and doesn’t remain in its original form. I would like your view if those drinks with ethyl are permissible or not?
Every liquid that can cause intoxication naturally is najis, and is prohibited to consume. If alcohol is added to a drink, even in such a minute amount, it is prohibited to consume.
Is muddy water or water containing sugar and salt sufficient for making oneself tahir from najasah?
It is possible to use water to make things tahir, if the percentage of salt, sugar and mud in it is so low that it is still conventionally called water.
Are Trinitarian Christians polytheists?
The followers of this belief are considered tahir, and all rulings that apply to Christians apply to them.
Does temptation and the feeling of sexual desire towards a woman require ghusl of janaba?
Ghusl does not become obligatory because of this.
Before ablution I recite the intention by saying "I intend to perform wudhu for the sake of Allah". Is this correct?
Intention is one of the conditions of the wudhu, but it is not obligatory to recite it. The intention is an act of the heart and not verbal.
If I walk to the masjid in the rain and my hair gets wet, and there is nothing to dry my hair with, will my subsequent wudhu be valid?
It is a condition in wiping the head that the wet hand is wiped over the dry head. If it is not possible to do so because of the wetness of the head, then one should wait until it is possible.
I have heard that, during wudhu, I have to wipe until three centimeters before my hairline. Is this true?
There is no precise limit for wiping, but it is sufficient that the wetness on the hand is not mixed with the wetness in other parts of the wudhu.
I've heard that if one's wudhu breaks during the third rak'at of Asr for instance, then one can continue his prayer, is this true?
If you are sure that you have passed wind during any part of the prayer, the prayer is invalidated as is the wudhu.
Is it correct to perform the wiping of the head in wudhu when the hair is wet?
If the wetness on the head was such that it transfers to the hand and leads to wiping the feet with that wetness, then this invalidates the wudhu, since it is obligatory to wipe the feet with the wetness of the wudhu. If the wetness on the head was such that it does not transfer to the hands when wiping the head, then there is no problem in wiping the head in this case.
Therefore, it is better to dry the head before the wudhu.
How does one perform Ghusl?
While you form the intention of ghusl, with the aim of seeking closeness to Almighty Allah, one should wash his whole body but should start by pouring water over the head, and then wash the rest of the body. You can also perform ghusl by placing your entire body under water at once while having the said intention.
If I am fasting and I slept and had ejaculated semen, what do I do so my prayers will not be invalid?
You should perform the ghusl of janabah before you can pray, and the fast is not affected.
How much is kurr water?
Kurr water equals in volume to 27 cubic hand-spans. Based on an obligatory precaution, the hand-span is equivalent 25 cm. In terms of mass, Kurr corresponds to 464.1 kg, and it is preferred to consider it to be 470 kg.
What is the private parts of a female that must be hidden from the view of another female?
They are the vagina and the anus.
When a person has gas incontinence, is he supposed to perform one wudhu for every prayer? Or can he perform one wudhu for two prayers if they are performed together one after the other?
If he has a specific period in which he can perform the wudhu and the prayer without passing wind, he should wait for it and perform the wudhu and prayer within this period.
If he does not have such a period, then he should perform the ablution before the prayer and offer the prayer, and when he passes wind during the prayer, he should suspend the prayer and perform the wudhu and continue where he stopped. Based on an obligatory precaution he should not do anything that invalidates the prayer when performing this wudhu, such as talking and the like. However, in such a situation if one does anything that conflicts with the form of the prayer or turns away from Qibla, for the purposes of performing wudhu, it will not invalidate the prayer. If one has such a condition, he should make appropriate preparations to ensure that the acts of wudhu during the prayer are minimal.
Do all toes need to be wiped during in wudhu, or just the last toe?
It suffices in the correctness of the wudhu to perform what is considered as wiping, even if it is on one toe.
If one thought that he was washing the necessary parts of the wudhu, but years later realized that he had been missing some of them, is it obligatory on him to repeat all of those prayers that he performed with this wudhu?
If one doubts the correctness of the wudhu but at the same it is probable that he washed the necessary parts without intending to do so, then he can assume that the wudhu is in order and he does not need to repeat the prayer. If he knows that he did not wash a necessary part of the wudhu, then it is invalid and he must repeat the prayers that he performed with such wudhu.
During wudhu, I always become doubtful as to whether I am doing the washing properly e.g. whether or not I am wiping my arms in a manner where it is reaching everywhere, which leads me to be very meticulous in my wudhu. May I ignore this doubt?
If the doubt is conventionally normal, and not a type of waswasah, one should pay attention to it, and therefore wash until he is certain that during the washings the water has reached all parts of the face or arm. If the doubt is a type of waswasah, then one should ignore it.
The problem with people with waswasa in wudhu is that they do not distinguish between waswasa and normal doubt. So how can one define waswasa so it can be ignored?
One can recognize waswasa by some signs, like when one is having his doubts in situations much more than other people in similar situations. Also, one can determine it when his inner feeling is that the religious worship is correct, but he still has worries and tensions that prevent him from accepting his internal certainty.
How do I perform wudhu?
You start by washing the face from the topmost part of the forehead where the hair begins to grow to the farthest end of the chin, and its breadth is what is covered between the thumb and the middle finger. The said area must be washed fully. Then, wash the arms by starting with the right arm from the elbow to the tips of the fingers. Then wash the left arm in the same way. Then, wipe the head using the wetness of the right hand. Then, wipe the feet from the tips of the toes to the ankles, starting with the right feet, then the left. It is sufficient to wipe normally and it is not mandatory to cover the mentioned wiped areas fully with wetness.
I felt that I was about to ejaculate, but the discharge never happened, and the liquid did not come out. Will I have to do ghusl?
Without the discharge of semen, ghusl is not obligatory.
