Istibra . Sexual . Ghusl

Do I need to perform Ghusl-e-Janabat if I consistently notice a minimal amount of semen after urinating and Istibra, that also leads to a feeling of weakness in my body?

If you are sure that the fluid is a semen then Ghusle Janabat is obligatory but some white fluid can come out after urinating which looks like semen but it is not semen but called Wathi وذي , it does not need Ghusle Janabat.

Masturbation . Ghusl . Ramadan . Sawm (Fasting) . Sexual . Salah (Prayers)

If I didn't know masturbation invalidates fasts, and didn't know what Ghusl Janabah was at a young age, must I repeat prayers and fasting? I don't know for sure this happened during Ramadan, as it was a couple years ago. What should I do?

If you did not know that masturbation invalidates the fast and you committed masturbation during the days of the month of Ramadan there is no Kaffara on you but Qadha of the fast of that day. If you did not know that Ghusl of Janabah is compulsory for a valid fasting you need to keep Qadha (Qaza) for every day of fasting which you are sure that you were in the state of janabat. Wassalam.

Ghusl . Hair . Body

I have heard that while doing Ghusl it is mandatory to make every hair of the body wet, but I feel that would require a lot of time and also cause a wastage of water. What is the correct method?

Ghusl . Menstruation (Haidh)

Is my Ghusl for Haydh considered valid if, for the last 10 years, I made the intention for purification, take a full shower with soap and water, and then stood under running water on the right side and left side?

As far as you had the intention of Ghusl and you made water reach to your head then your body’s right and left side, your Ghusl is valid.

Bismihi ta'ala,

Yes, it is permissible for her to wear it, as long as the script of the Quran does not touch her skin if she does not have wudhu'. To avoid this, she can wear it on top of clothing, or keep the script to the front, or cover it with a thin transparent layer of nail-polish, or something like that, which can also be used as a protection for it as well.

Of course, she must also ensure that it stays away from any najasah.

Ghusl . Home . Salah (Prayers) . Menstruation (Haidh) . Education . Istihadha

If I missed my last Istihadah prayer before entering Haydh due to being unable to make Ghusl while in university and not at home, should I make up my Istihadah prayers on the same day, or do I make it up after my period ends?<br>

Every obligatory Prayer is obligatory on you when you have Istehagha blood but you need to perform for it either one Wudhu for every Prayer if the quantity of blood is little which does not fill the pad, or add with one Ghusl before Fajr Prayer if the blood fills the pad but does not leak out of it (Medium Istihadha) or perform three Ghusls daily; one before Fajr Prayer, then one before Dhuhr Prayer then one before Maghrib Prayer, when the bleeding fills the pad and leak out if it (Big Istehadha).

There is no special Prayer named as Istihadha Prayer., but if you missed any Prayer during Istehadha, you need then to perform it as Qadha like any obligatory missed Prayer.

Henna . Ghusl . Menstruation (Haidh)

Do I need to wait for the Henna applied during Haydh to be removed before performing Ghusl for purification?

No. Henna colour is just colour which does not form a layer preventing water from reach to your skin hence you don't need to remove such colour for performing Ghusl. You must perform Ghusl immediately after your menstruation is over to perform your obligatory Prayers.

Ghusl . Time . Tayammum . Spirituality . Najasa (Impurity) . Salah (Prayers)

If a married couple have become impure, and they don't want to do Ghusl for health or such reason, is it permissible to extend offering Salah until such a time that only Tayammum remains possible?

Bismihi ta'ala

Looking at this example, the reason to avoid ghusl is for aesthetic reasons, so as to avoid loss of hair, due to excessive ghusls per day.

The couple can cut down on what leads to ghusl, and prioritise their 'ibadah and make sure their relationship with Almighty God is always stronger than their lust.

Intimacy is very good, but not such that it makes one think in this kind of a way, and deliberately miss out on prayer.

Ghusl should not take more than 2 minutes, all together, and not that much water as well. Therefore, if the couple do have a fear of hair loss, minimising the shower time is good option. It is also mentioned that cold water is good for hair.

Water . Toilet . Ghusl

Can I assume the water from the cold water tank connected to the main supply is Kurr (sufficient) for performing Taharat once, if I don't know its size is 384 litres or not?

Usually, the capacity of water tanks now a days is much more than Kurr unless you know that it is a very small tank. If you doubt whether the quantity of the water is Kurr or less, you need then an evidence to deal with it as Kurr.

Ghusl . Doubt

During Ghusl, while washing the left side, I doubted whether I washed a certain part of my right side. As a result, I washed that part of the right side again and then continued washing the left side. Was my Ghusl valid?

Yes, your Ghusl is valid.
