Should I make up for 6-10 years of possibly invalid prayer and fasts?
Since I was 8, every time I got in the shower I would throw water pressure “down there” until my body shook (I believe this is called a climax or orgasm, and I may have emitted maniy but I can’t remember). I read that maniy is supposed to be yellow, but I have only ever had white or clear discharge,...
Since I was 8, every time I got in the shower I would throw water pressure “down there” until my body shook (I believe this is called a climax or orgasm, and I may have emitted maniy but I can’t remember). I read that maniy is supposed to be yellow, but I have only ever had white or clear discharge, so it may have been madhy. After that, I would take my full shower. I started praying and fasting regularly at age 11, when I got my first period. Now, 18, I just learned that A woman is deemed to have reached puberty when one of four things happens:
1 – When she reaches the age of fifteen.
2 – When her pubic hair grows, which is hair around the private parts.
3 – When she emits maniy (fluid released at climax).
4 – When she starts to menstruate.
Does this mean I was baligh at age 8?
Also, I did not know until recently that this was called masturbation (which is haram) and I did not know that ghusl was mandatory after that. Meaning, I continued to pray and fast in a junub state.
I have now made tawba for all the water I wasted and promised to never to do “that” again. But are all the prayers and fasts I’ve done up to now invalid?
If so, should I make them up for 6yrs or 10yrs?
Is there anything else I need to do or I should know in relation to my dilemma?

As we know because of the tawaf and the fact that the Kaaba which is in the midlle of the mosque is our prayer direction, it is impossible to lead and pray in one single direction in the masjid al-Haram. Therefore mostly the Imam whom leads the prayers nowadays either stays far enough away from the Kaaba or even leads the prayer from one of the floors of the builinding (at least this is what one sees i.e. on TV).
I'm curious if there are any ahadith or narrations telling a special place where the Imam used to stand when leading prayers in the early days of Islam.
There should be narrations as we know that our Prophet () performed Hajj and even prayed in Mekka before the hijra, if not many sahaba () later reside in Mekka, maybe we have narrations about a certain place they recommended ...
Therefore and to sum up my question is:
Where did the Imam stand for leading congregation prayer in the masjid al-Haram (in the early days of Islam)? Please consider providing evidences when answering!

What is the concept of hoolol in Sufuism?
From my understand it is the concept that that Allah dwells in the creation? This to me opens the door to great forms of shirk as this seems a concept from Hinduism.
As i have herd such statements among the sufis : Ibn Arabi said, "العبد رب و الرب عبد" or "al-
abd-u rabb-un wa-r-rabb-u abd-un" (the slave is the lord and the lord is the slave)."
In my understanding Allah resides above al-arsh : The Most Merciful [who is] above the Throne established.(Quraan 20:5)
This to me is a concept very far from Islam and the tawheed of Allah. Pleases help me to understand this concept and its validity as this is very confusing to me.

Where I say property, I mean, something physical which has value. If the islamic definition of rent-able property is different, please let me know.
If I have property in the form of a house, I understand that I can rent this house out and get monthly payments in the form of USD until the house is returned to me, where the rental period is defined in a contract. As far as I have read, this is apparently halaal.
My question is, if I have property in the form of gold, can I rent that gold out and get monthly payments in the form of USD until the gold is returned to me? Where the rental period is also defined in a contract.

How should a muslim urinate according to Islam?
Whether I sit or stand, it seems like urine gets on me anyway.

I think I'm just having excessive *waswas* concerning urine, I take so many precautions and I think it's most likely that urine isn't hitting my pants sometimes but I still am scared to wear the pants to *salah*.

Mutawatir is when a narration gains a huge amount of narrators that it being a lie has basically become impossible, in other words there would basically be no doubt in regards to it's authenticity. But Tawtur has terms, and the terms have been split into Mutaffaq alaih/that which has been agreed upon, and Al Mukhtalaf Feeh/that which there is difference upon. So the question is, what are the terms that fall under Mutaffaq Alaih (متفق عليه) ? and what are those terms which fall under Mukhtalaf feeh (مختلف فيه) ?
