Assalaamu alaykom. I am an unmarried girl who suffers from intrusive thoughts. Meaning that I sometimes have unwanted thoughts of terrible scenarios which are difficult to stop and make me doubt everything. Some of these intrusive thoughts are of sexual nature, and I find them terrifying and painful. However, I sometimes experience discharge when having.. More
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, Shaykh. I am in need of an answer to my question, No. 2666228. I did mention that I combine the Maghrib and the ‘Ishaa’ prayers, but my question is actually about performing the ablution one-and-a-half hour before the azan of the Maghrib during Ramadan and one-and-a-half hour before the azan of..

Assalaamu alaykum. I have a question about liquid coming out after urine. Most of the time, after I urinate, a thin, clear liquid comes out. I know that it is not Wadi since it is not thick, and I think that it is not madhi since I am not aroused. Whenever this liquid comes out, I wash my private parts. The problem, however, is that it keeps coming.. More
If I wash impure urine-stained clothes in a washing machine and some residue of the detergent remains in the machine after washing and I wash them again without detergent but the residue still appears and remains even after the second washing, are the clothes pure?

Assalaamu alaykum. I have a problem regarding the release of Maniyy (ejaculate), my problem is that I get scared that I will release Maniyy, and if I do not want to think anything sexual, my mind gets obsessed with it. The more I get scared, the more obsessed I become. If I look at a man without even thinking in a wrong way about him, I discharge Maniyy... More
Assalaamu alaykum. I am very fond of taking long hot showers, be it for the ritual bath or as a regular bath. I take long time to finish it and I enjoy it. It helps me relax and has many other benefits for me. On the other hand, Prophet Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, discouraged excessive use of water even for ablution. Does this mean that..

Assalaamu alaykum, Shaykh. My question is that according to the Hanafi school, if the Najasat (impurity: menstruation, urine, and so on) is equal to one dirham, then it can be ignored/tolerated, so can I follow this opinion? I have a problem of Waswasah (devilish whispering) or OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) regarding purity, so I think that it.. More
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. Dear scholars, I got that the duration between two menses is 15 days, as mentioned on Islamweb, so if a woman gets her menses on the 12th day after having become pure from her last menses, it will be considered Istihaadhah. Now my question is: if the menses continue for six or seven days, then it will.. More
If I wash my hands to remove impurity under the tap which is fixed to a bath, where the water goes through the drain, do I then have to wash the bath because the water touched the bath before going through the drain?

Please, can you advise, if impure clothes washed in the washing machine have been rinsed and spinned five times but then, when taken out, some clothes still have some washing powder residue on them, are these clothes pure, or should the whole laundry be done again?

Assalaamu alaykum. I was once performing ablution, and when I blew my nose, I felt something coming out of my private part, and when I checked, I found a small drop of wetness. I was certain that it was not pre-seminal fluid, but at the time, I thought that it was sweat, since I had been playing sports earlier. I went ahead and lead the prayer whilst.. More
Assalaamu alaykum. I read in your fatwa that full certainty regarding washing is not required in ablution and Ghushl (bath taken in state of major ritual impurity). My question is: suppose one washes his face three times and did his best to make sure that water reaches all parts and some part nevertheless remained unwashed without his knowledge, will.. More
Assalaamu alaykum. I suffer from Waswaas (devilish whisperings/obsessive doubts) in ablution and Ghushl (ritual bath). Please clarify these two things. I have long hair. How much of the hair beside my forehead should I wash in ablution given that some of that hair follows in between my two ears? And how can I ensure during Ghushl that water reaches.. More
I know that Muslim women are allowed to delay the Ghusl (ritual shower) until the time of the next prayer if they so wish. For example, they become pure at the beginning of the ‘Asr prayer, but they can delay their Ghusl until just before the Maghrib, make Ghusl, and be ready for the prayer. I have the following questions:
1. Must they pray the.. More
