In this case, ghusl janabah would only become wajib if she reached climax, and has nothing to do with releasing bodily fluids.

Ghusl . Najis . Toilet . Wudu (Ablution) . Najasa (Impurity)

Is the place where I perform Ghusl after removing any impurity considered Najis? Additionally, is a bathroom where I perform Ghusl, Taharat, and ablution considered Najis? Can wearing slippers inside the bathroom make them impure?

Bismihi ta'ala

Once you've done your ghusl, and there is no najasah substance anywhere there, then wherever the water has reached, it would be considered tahir. With wearing slippers inside the bathroom, it has the same scenariou. As long as there is no najasah substance, and there was flowing of water, it would be tahir.

Ghusl

If I perform Ghusl after ejaculation and find dried sperm on my body, should I do Ghusl again or simply remove the sperm?

If your Ghusl water reached to every part of your outer body, then you don't need to repeat the Ghusl. You just need to wash the place which has a Najis item. But if the sperm covered a part of your skin and did not allow water of Ghusl to reach the skin beneath it , then your Ghusl was invalid because of not reaching to all your skin, and you need to re do the Ghusl again.

Skin . Ghusl . Salah (Prayers) . Sawm (Fasting)

Is my Ghusul, prayers, and fast still valid if there was a stain on my hand, which I remember being there before performing Ghusul and possibly preventing water from reaching the skin during Ghusul?

If you are sure that the stain preheated water from reaching to your skin, then your Ghusl is invalid. If you are not sure, then there is no harm in your Ghusl.

Ghusl . Menstruation (Haidh) . Arabic . Intention (Niyah) . Salah (Prayers) . Wudu (Ablution)

What is the Niyyah to be recited for the five prayers, Wudu, and the Ghusl after menstruation? Does the Niyyah have to be recited in Arabic or can it be in the mind?

Niyyah for every worship like Wudhu, Ghusl, Salah etc is the intention in our mind and heart and we do not need to recite it at all. It is not required to recite the Niyyah except in the worship of Hajj and Umrah where it is recommended not obligatory to recite the Niyyah in any language which you understand.

Body . Ghusl . Najis . Mayyit

If I come into contact with a deceased person's body, does everything I touch with unwashed hands and any sweat on them become impure?

if you touch the unwashed dead body with the wet hand then your hand becomes Najis so if you touch another thing with that hand while it is wet that thing will become najis too.
But touching the dead body with dry hand doesn't make your hand najis and the only duty is to perform Mayyit touching Ghusl.

Ghusl . Sexual . Sawm (Fasting)

Do I need to perform Ghusl if only a few drops of semen were released from my body, without me feeling it, but I noticed the stain later? Does it break my fast?

Semen does not gush out without your feeling it. Stain can be from other fluid which is not semen. Your fast is valid as far as you did not feel the orgasm of the ejaculation and caused it deliberately.

Wassalam.

Ghusl . Mayyit

Do I need to perform Ghusl if I touched a dead body indirectly using a towel and a blanket, while my hands were sweating and it's uncertain whether the dead body's sweat got onto the towel or the blanket?

Bismihi ta'ala

No, you do not need to perform ghusl mass al-mayyit in this aforementioned scenario. It is only when it is skin on body.

And Allah knows best.

Water . Ghusl . Salah (Prayers)

What should we do if it is winter, there is no access to hot water, and we have obligatory Ghusl and prayer to perform?

If performing Ghusl is not possible, then Tayammum is obligatory instead of Ghusl. After performing Tayammum when Ghusl is not possible, all the worships like Salaah will be valid.

Wassalam
