Ghusl . Skin . Bandage

If I need to perform Ghusl after menstruation but I have ripped my skin on an area on my thumb how should I do it? Should I remove the bandage though it hurts and could get infected?

Bismihi ta'ala

When you do a ghusl, you must make sure that there is nothing that would prevent water from getting to your skin.

Unless of course water would harm a particular area and you must keep it dry. In this case, you perform Ghusl Jabirah.

However, if you can get it wet, and you are able to remove the bandage, even though it could be inconvenient or hurt a bit when taking it off, then try to bear it, do the ghusl, and then use a disinfectant and put a new bandage on.

And Allah knows best.

Ghusl . Blood

While doing Ghusl I bit my tongue and felt it bled a little due to a metallic taste in my mouth. But when I checked after Ghusl there was no visible injury nor any sign of blood. Should I consider my Ghusl valid?

Yes, your Ghusl is valid whether your tongue was injuries or not and whether you had a blood inside your mouth or not.

Menstruation (Haidh) . Ghusl

After I have completed my Ghusal for Hayz I noticed a very small spot of brown discharge. Does that mean I have to redo the Ghusal?

If it happened within the ten days from the start of the menstruation (the maximum period of menses is ten days and the minimum is three days), then it is considered part of your menstruation and you need to perform Ghusl of Hayz after being sure that bleeding has completely stopped.

Bismillah,

Asalamu Alaykom,

If you know that the white fluid is semen then you must perform the ghusl al janabah. If you also feel ejaculation after sexual excitement which causes this white liquid to come out then you do ghusl.

May Allah grant you success

Ghusl

If you break wind during the Ghusl do you need to repeat it?

Bismillah,

Asalamu Alaykom,

No, your ghusl is still valid if you break wind or urinate. You will however no longer have wudu and you will have to repeat your wudu after ghusl al janabah.

May Allah grant you success

Ghusl . Sexual

Is Ghusl of Janabah required after every intercourse or can it be done at the end of multiple ones within the same night?

Bismillah,

Asalamu Alaykom,

One may have intercourse with their spouse as many times as they wish without having to do a ghusl for each time separately.

After one is finished, the single ghusl they perform makes them have spiritual purity once again to perform the religious duties.

May Allah grant you success

Burial . Ghusl . Coronaviruses . Forgiveness

My father passed away due to COVID-19. The burial process did not involve performing Ghusl or using a wood chamber, instead he was buried with a white dress and mud. Please advise if this was wrong and whether Allah will forgive my father?

Salaamun alaikum
May Allah (swt) bless his soul and raise him with Muhammad and his Ahlulbait (a.s).
It is recorded in Fiqhi books like Urwatul Wuthqa that if one is buried without Ghusl, it is obligatory that he/she must be exhumed and the Ghusl is performed on their bodies and then get buried again GIVEN that 1) the corpse is not decayed and 2) the act of exhumation is possible and also 3) the fact that the whole process is not considered a disrespectful act to the buried person.

There's no need for a wood chamber if you mean a coffin by that.

If the circumstances above are not possible at all then do not worry, Allah (swt) judges us according to our actions and let's hope that your father's actions be sufficient for getting Allah's Mercy. And you as his children can give charity and recite Quran and do Mustahab acts and gift the reward to his soul and it is very much recommended as the duty of children towards their parents!

These rituals are the duties of the alive people around the dead!!!
