How can I purify my laptop after Najis water - not containing Ayn al-Najasat - fell on it? Since it is not waterproof, I cannot pour Kurr or Qalil water. Would wiping it three times with a wet cloth be effective for purification?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'āla

No, wiping it will not remove the najasah. There must be pouring of water.

You might be better to just keep it that way, although you might be concerned about using it when your hands sweat, etc, or maybe trading the laptop with another new one.

It might be a bit risky, but you can put the laptop upside down, and spray water upwards, hoping it does not go in, and then dry it quickly. It does not need kurr water, and does not need a lot of water as well. This is just a suggestion. 

And Allah knows best
I have doubts about cleanliness. A cat peed on my window, and we only cleaned it without purifying. Later, my maid used a wet cloth to clean that window and then used the same cloth on my whole home. What should I understand about the purity of my home?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Everything is Taahir for you unless and until you know for sure that it is Najis. Doubt about Najasah does not mean that the doubted item is Najis with out concrete evidence. If you have concrete evidence that a specific item is definitely Najis, then you can make it Taahir by pouring water in it.

The seat of my chair, made of porous wood with a small piece of fabric pinned on it, is Najis. I cannot take it to the bathroom or place it under running water. What is the correct way to purify it?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If the Najis fabric is from pork or dog or non Halal animal skin, then there is no way to clean or purify such material. If the Najis fabric is not Najis Al-A'yn, then you can wash it with water and make it Taahir.

How can I purify my heart, regain my self-respect, and reconnect with Allah after making the mistake of developing feelings for someone in an un-Islamic way, which led to betrayal and emotional distress?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

1. Repenting the previous bad deeds and deep feeling of sorrow about it.

2. Firm decision not to do it again under any circumstance.

3. Repeating Estighfaar (Seeking forgiveness) day and night especially when you are alone and during Sujood and in special times like during last one sixth if night (Sahar time).

Wassalam.
