I cleaned a table soiled with semen: I removed the substance and then used a little water from a bottle to spread it, but I’m not sure if that water touched other surfaces. How should I consider the table and the other surfaces? Is this enough?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

After removing the Najis substance, you should pour water on the surface where the Najis item was, not all other surfaces of the table.

If you are not sure that water did reach the Najis surface,bayou need to purify it again.

I have a question about sexual duties. Recently, my husband has been prioritizing my needs over his prayers. While I appreciate his devotion, it has made it necessary for me to schedule sexual intimacy in advance. How should I handle this situation?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Obligatory Prayers must be performed within its timings and nothing can be more important than performing the obligatory prayers. You should not allow any action which contradicts or causes not performing any obligatory prayers. You should help your husband to perform every obligatory Prayer within its timings and never make any schedule which contradicts any obligatory prayers.

Are sexual toys permitted in Islam? Specifically, would using toys designed for external play and not for penetration be acceptable?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Sexual toys are not permissible in Islam whether used for external play or otherwise. The permissible sexual activity is between husband and wife and not with a toy or anything else.

While in the bathroom, I noticed a white liquid, similar to sperm in smell and appearance, that came out during defecation. Might this have been caused by straining? In such cases, is it necessary to perform Ghusl?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'āla

No. You do not need to do ghusl. The only time you will need to do ghusl is when the seminal discharge is by ejaculation, or intercourse. The pre-seminal fluid, etc, do not need ghusl. In your case, as it came out with urine, it just needs washing. 

And Allah knows best
