Having OCD I usually avoid washing my area immediately after urinating otherwise it leads me feeling urges to urinate again and it's really frustrating that's why I let the area to relax for some moments and don't touch it. But the problem is when I stand up after a suspended drop left falls randomly on pants. Now I can't even wash that area because I have my pants lowered and am only left with washing the whole pant. Is there any measure I can adopt to this. Or can I be excused in this matter for not trying to prevent the drop? I don't do so because of the fear of further obsessions and they're really annoying compelling me spend a plenty of time in washroom.

Pork byproducts in different names

Assalamu 'alaikum,
I have a difficulty for keeping my body pure and sometimes I feel it is very hard to keep it like that. Because these days almost every product is related to some animal origin, such as leather,greases, food items, paints, etc. And I have no guarantee over those whether it is made from pork or not. So I feel it is very hard to avoid such things. And I had some kind of waswas also I think and I'm sure no one near me cares about these things. But I feel if I use such items my prayer becomes invalid.
And I searched for a cure from these kind of things and I found these two hadeeths:
1:Everything is pure unless you are certain about it that it is otherwise.
2:Avoid those things which make you doubt.
So I dont know what I should do.
For example I found white greases are made from inedible lard (from pork)so what should I do because I'm a mechanical engineering student and a car enthusiast so how should I abstain from those things?
It is easy to abstain from food items that contains pork some times. But it's very hard to abstain to those items that indirectly contain pork such as greases for automobile,paints, etc.
I am suffering a lot about this issue.
>Can you please advice me what should I do?
May allah shower his blessings upon you and your family.
Thanks.

Asalam alaykum brothers and sisters
I recently did ghusl but I am having doubts of whether I reached every part of my body with water. I am almost certain that water reached every part of my body but I am unsure whether I scrubbed every part perfectly.
Also, since the hands can not reach all parts of the back, what should one do in this situation? I tried my best to get water back there and am pretty sure I covered it but I am still asking.
Jazak Allah

What is the difference between desire and pleasure for ghusl?

I am a bit embarrassed to talk about this but I need to ask: I read websites saying that ghusl is only necessary if the discharge that comes out is accompanied by pleasure and not just desire. However I have a problem: I don’t know the difference between these feelings. I read that for women the discharge also needs to be yellow and mine doesn’t seem to be yellow when aroused but I’m still unsure.
I want to ask, if i feel my private parts clench/contract at a sexual thought, does that require ghusl? I feel weird asking this but I get clenches/contractions down there quite often when aroused and I’m aroused everyday so I don’t know if I actually have to do ghusl. It’s really stressing me out. It would be quite difficult to actually have to renew my ghusl for each prayer so that’s why I’m asking.

Asalam alaykum brothers and sisters
I have a question about ghusl, I want to know if the steps I am taking to purify myself are correct.
1: I say bismillah before entering the washroom
2: I take a normal shower to remove any physical impurity
3: u make intention for ghusl and rinse nose and mouth, then I was the entire body from head to toe
(I do fard ghusl, but u have heard that it says in the quran that if you make intention and wash every part of the body, you are pure)

Correct way of purifying oneself after bowel movement

Salaam all, I have recently converted to Islam and I'm trying to learn all the practices of our deen. This question is about Taharah after a bowel movement.
I have read online in some places that water is used to clean the impurity and in some places I have read that wiping with the left hand and water are used to clean oneself. This is what I'm confused about. Is running water (from a hose / hand shower) alone sufficient to purify oneself or is it necessary to wipe with the left hand as well? In case of the latter, does the wiping need to be done with a bare hand or a toilet paper or pure cloth?
I personally feel very uncomfortable by the thought of using my hand to touch my anus and would prefer to only use running water to clean myself but I need to know about the shari'a ruling for this so I can follow the right practices.
I would appreciate it if someone could share a detailed answer to this problem.
Thank you.

Does your wudu break if a dog licks you?
I know that you're supposed to wash the part of your body where a dog has licked seven times. But do you also have to redo your wudu?

Am I being punished? heart feels dead

In advance, I'm new to this and I'm coming here out of desperation so sorry if I break any rules or whatever.
I'm sitting here crying because my heart just doesn't feel full anymore. I committed some sins a while ago and even after repenting my heart just feels dead.
I listen to the Qur'an and I don't shiver anymore. I can't focus in prayer and I don't cry anymore and end up having to make Sujood of forgetfulness almost every time. I feel awful and I just don't know anymore.
I'm scared because I don't want my heart to be hard. I want it to be soft like it was before but I just don't feel the same.
I know Allah has not abandoned me but I'm asking if this is a test or if this is a punishment for the sins which I have committed. I just feel like my heart has just started to drift from the light. I feel nothing in prayer and that makes me feel awful.
so, is this a test? or is this a punishment?
edit: Thanks to the people who responded! today I noticed that I started to feel a bit better and had more concentration in my prayer. I was just in fear because I knew I was the only one to blame for my hearts state and was afraid that it was a punishment.
Will be sure to stay steadfast and do my best

Will my clothes still consider as impure (Napak) If I washed them alot?
After masturbation, I found white spots on my pant (I don’t know whether it is Mani, Madhi or Wadhi). I washed that origin (where that spot was) gently with soap and leave it to dry.

After masturbation, I found white spots on my pant (I don’t know whether it is Mani, Madhi or Wadhi). I washed that origin (where that spot was) gently with soap and leave it to dry. The next day I gave my clothes including the pant, to our maid to wash them. After the clothes get dried someone put them back in my wardrobe. When I opened my wardrobe I found still there was a spot on that pant.
**Question:** *If I washed my Napak (impure) cloths a lot and still there was a white-spot will it still consider Napak?*
**Question:** *If my clothes consider as Napak and someone puts them back in my wardrobe will all the Pak (pure) clothes that were in my wardrobe consider as Napak (impure)?.*
**Question:** *Can I gave my clothes ( those who had white-spot) to our Maid after washing that origin (where that white-spot was)?*

Haya (Shyness) and how to restore it?
Assalam-o-Alaikum, Brothers and Sisters. I was listening to a very famous Islamic scholar who said and I quote: > **Once you left Haya' from your eyes, It will never return to you. There is no cure for this.** There is a hadith for this > **إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا يُرْفَعُ مِنْ هَذِهِ الأُمَّةِ الْحَيَاءُ...
Assalam-o-Alaikum, Brothers and Sisters.
I was listening to a very famous Islamic scholar who said and I quote:
> **Once you left Haya' from your eyes, It will never return to you. There is no cure for this.**
There is a hadith for this
> **إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا يُرْفَعُ مِنْ هَذِهِ الأُمَّةِ الْحَيَاءُ وَالأَمَانَةُ ، فَسَلُوهُمَا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ**
**Verily the first that this Ummah will lose is the shyness (Haya') and trust so keep asking them Allah the almighty.**
I just wanted to ask this community that is there any way to return Haya to ourselves? There is a cure to almost everything, is there any for this? I couldn't find any satisfactory explanation for this.
Jazak Allah for your time.
