Are Ahlul Kitab considered Najis? If so, then why are we allowed to do temporary marriage with their women?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

This question is similar to many other fiqhi questions, where one would need to refer to his/her Marja' taqleed. 

That being said, according to the view of most of our esteemed jurists, Ahlul Kitab are not najis, and as for temporary marriage with a Kitabiyah woman, most Maraji' also deem it as halal.

And Allah knows best.
If I have offered all the five prayers of a day and later realised that the garments I had on were Najis, should I reperform those prayers? If yes, what should be the Niyat?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If you performed your obligatory prayers with cloth which you thought it Tahir, then discovered later on that it was not Tahir, you do not need to re perform those prayers, but wear Tahir clothes for coming prayers.

Wassalam.
How do I purify my hands after touching an item that is Najis and wet?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Just wash your hands with water, one time if water is connected to tab or big quantity, and two times if water is in small quantity. Obviously, no Najis material should be on your hands.

Wassalam.
When in the state of Haidh or Janabah does everything I touch with wet hands become Najis?
Seyed Ali Shobayri

Bismillah, 

Asalamu Alaykom, 

Being in a state of janabah or hayd doesn't make your hands najis. The only times you would spread najasa is when you touch blood or one of the najis substances with a wet hand or body part and then spread it. 
 

You can touch things with wet hands in either state and nothing would become najis. 
 

Only some ulema state that the sweat of someone who has committed zina is najis. 
 

May Allah grant you success
