I have layered hair, and when I perform ablution, some hair remains behind my ears and gets in the way of wiping, despite my efforts to keep it out of the way, including tying it. Is my ablution still valid?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Wiping over the head does not mean over all your hair, but only over the hair or the skin of the front part of the head. If your wiping covers the hair or the skin of that front part of your head, then it is enough and you ablution is valid.

How can an 80-year-old man, who experiences frequent urination and remains lying on bed most of the time with a hanging bag, perform his ablution and offer his prayers?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is very simple. Just he performs usual ablution as much as he can.

'Urine bag does not harm his ablution. If his urine drops continuously with out stop, then one Wudu is enough for every Salah. If there is a break with out urine dripping, he should perform Wudu during that purity break and perform his Obligatory Prayer.

Wassalam.
