How to do ghusl from janaabah
How does one do ghusl (full ablution) to cleans oneself of janaabah (impurity following sexual activity)?
Praise be to Allaah. There are two kinds of ghusl from janaabah – sufficient and complete. Sufficient ghusl means that you rinse your mouth and nose, then you wash your entire body with water, even if that means plunging yourself into deep water in one go. Complete ghusl means ... Continue Reading

If a female has an orgasm without intercourse
If a female has an orgasm without intercourse, is she required to perform ghusl before she can say her prayers?
Praise be to Allaah. If maniy (fluid emitted at the point of climax) comes out of a woman without intercourse, she has to do ghusl. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) commanded women to do ghusl if they notice water (fluid), as was reported by Maalik in al-Muwatta’ ... Continue Reading

What is the ruling on neglecting the Sunan al-Fitrah, and does that have any effect on tahaarah (purity)?
I have noted that some worshippers let their nails grow long and they are filled with dirt. Is this befitting for a Muslim? Is their wudoo’ valid? Is there a specified time limit for cutting the nails, or for doing other things that are Sunan al-Fitrah (specific sunnahs connected to the natural disposition of man)?
Praise be to Allaah. The nails must be cut within forty days (of the last cutting), because the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) specified a time limit within which people should cut their nails, shave their pubic hair, pluck their armpit hair and trim their ...

All questions are worthy of asking
As Salam Wahalakum, Brothers and sisters My question is kind of puzzling but I think it is important My question is: Is a man suppose to shave his legs if his hair grows big like we do to over private parts? I 'm asking this question because most of my friends do it and I didn't because I was never told. So please answer this question and don't leave it as joke. Thank You
Praise be to Allah,We would never consider your question as a joke for the reason that you do what you are supposed to do by asking about something you don’t know its ruling.At the age of our Prophet Mohammed (Peace Be Upon Him) someone, called Abu-Refaa, may Allah be pleased with him, came ...

Is it haraam for a woman who is junub to cook or touch things?
My question is that how soon after havin sex should a bath be taken. We have heard that everythiong you do before having bath like walk or cook is haram.Is it ok to take bath before your next praye. God bless you for your services.
Praise be to Allaah.There is no set time limit within which a woman who is junub has to do ghusl. It has to do with the performance of prayers and other acts of worship where tahaarah (purity) is required. There is no harm in delaying ghusl until the time for the next prayer comes, so long as the ... Continue Reading

Prayer of one who does not shave his pubic hair
Will the prayer of one who leaves his pubic hair and does not shave it for a month be accepted?
Praise be to Allaah.Shaving the pubic hair – the hair that grows around the private parts – is part of the sunan al-fitrah (actions that befit the natural state of man). They should not be left without shaving for more than forty days because of the proven hadeeth to ... Continue Reading

He had a wet dream but he did not do ghusl because it was very cold
I was once sleeping in the afternoon after taking lunch. i had erotic dreams & sufferred from nocturnal ejactulation. when the adhan for assar was being given , i woke up. s it was very cold i could not take a bath. i washed the semen off from my pants, did taimyum and continued with my asaar prayers. did i do the right thing? is it necessary to take a bath after having a wet dream or is it suffficeient to wash off the semen & do wadoo to become clean. In fact in view of the cold i tokk bath only after a few days, & contined to perform salat all these days using the same garment. i hope i have put the problem before u lucidly
Praise be to Allaah. It is the mercy of Allaah towards His slaves that the obligation to do certain duties no longer applies when one is unable to do them, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “Allaah burdens not a person beyond his scope” [al-Baqarah ... Continue Reading
