As my wife has a skin disease, which is called neurodermitis, the doctor told her to take a shower as less as possible (e.g. only once a week). What are the rules for her in respect to her Ghusl. Is she allowed to perform Tayyamum? e.g. after she had her menstrual bleeding, because taking a shower could harm her skin?
With the fear that performing Ghusl harms her health, it is permissible for her to perform Tayammum.
If one wakes up in a state of Janabah between Fajr and sunrise, but does not think he will have enough time to perform ghusl and pray due to there only being a relatively short time until sunrise, what is he expected to do?
If he expects, although he may not be sure, to have sufficient time to offer the prayer completely in addition to performing the ghusl before it before sunrise, then he should do the ghusl and perform the prayer.
If he anticipates that he has sufficient time to offer part of the prayer only before dawn after performing ghusl, then as an obligatory precaution he should perform the ghusl and offer the prayer even if some of it is after sunrise.
If he realizes that he will not be able to offer any part of the prayer before sunrise, then it is better to perform the Tayammum and the prayer before sunrise, and then perform the Ghusl and repeat the prayer after sunrise.
I have entered into the state of janabah, but it’s very cold here. I have already taken a shower, and taking another shower could make me ill. What should I do if need to pray?
If a person in the state of janabah fears that he will become ill if he does ghusl with water, then it is necessary for him to perform tayammum instead, in order to offer the prayers.
Can someone do Tayammum rather than Ghusl in the following situations?
1. If somebody has done Ghusl many times and has been affected by too many doubts and taking too much time and using a lot of water, because surety comes very hard for him, and when he finishes his body is under pain.
2. If he is in a hurry for a job or something important that he thinks he will be late for if he does Ghusl?
It is not permissible to do Tayammum instead of Ghusl in the said cases as long as water is available. Our advice to you is to economize in spending water, avoid extravagance and perform Ghusl in a balanced way and without paying attention to doubts; having said that, using excessive amount of water in Ghusl does not invalidate it.
If a part of the body is wounded and treated with alcohol-based medication, and it is impossible to wash that area with water, is it necessary to perform tayammum instead of wudhu?
If the najasah is in the parts of the wudhu then one must perform tayammum instead.
If I enter the state of Janabah through ejaculation in my sleep, and there is very little time left for the Fajr prayer, what should I do? What if there is a difficulty in performing the ghusl at that time?
If the time is sufficient to perform ghusl but the ghusl would cause harm to the body, then it is obligatory to switch to the tayammum. If the time is not sufficient to perform the ghusl and the ghusl would not harm the body, tayammum is not obligatory. One can perform the ghusl even if this leads to offering the prayer outside designated time of the prayer.
When I am at work, I have to do wudhu for prayers in the sinks of the toilet area. I dislike taking my shoes off and doing wudhu because I have a strong feeling of najasah on the ground there. Also, I wear leather shoes, and I do not know in which country they were manufactured nor if the animal was slaughtered in the correct way. Am I allowed to perform tayammum in regards to prayers or can I do wudhu with my shoes on?
Tayammum in this case is not sufficient, as it is possible to perform the prayer in a different place, even if you perform it towards the end of its prescribed time. The leather is considered najis if it was not from an Islamic country but if you were living in an Islamic country, then the leather is considered to be tahir.
I have a lot of pain and the doctor has ordered some pain relief patches that I should put on my skin. It must stay on my body for a week, and then I have to remove it and attach another one. During the week I may not remove it, but what should I do if I have to perform an obligatory ghusl, while having the patch on my skin?
If the patch can be removed during the ghusl time, then one should do so and wash the skin underneath the patch directly. If this is not possible, you should wipe the water over the patch in ghusl, and tayammum should be performed as well.
