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?
Zaid Alsalami

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. 

And Allah knows best
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?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

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.

‘Wassalam.
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?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Yes, your Ghusl is valid.

Wassalam.
Does the use of henna with chemical additives invalidate Wudu and Ghusl?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

No. Using henna with chemical additives does not invalidate Wudu nor Ghusl.

Wassalam.
