Ghusl . Diabetes . Wudu (Ablution)

I am diabetic and there is a glucose monitoring system, called FreeStyle Libre, that is attached for 2 weeks to the upper arm on my body and it cannot be taken off. In this situation how may I perform Ghusl and Wudhu?

Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi, Sayyed Mohammad al-Musawi is originally from Iraq and heads up the World Ahlul Bayt Islamic League in London. Other than being involved in various humanitarian projects, he frequently responds to... Answered 1 week ago

The Wudhu is valid because the upper arm is away from the parts of washing in Wudhu, so, there is no harm at all in Wudhu.

The matter of Ghusl with this monitor on the body is been referred to the Maraaji' of Taqleed and we are waiting for their verdict as the matter is new.

Woman . Pregnancy . Salah (Prayers) . Ghusl

If a pregnant woman faces frequent discharges on an almost daily basis, how is she to approach prayer in that state? Is she supposed to bathe every single day?

This discharge during pregnancy is not menstruation. It can be what is
called Istihadha. During Istihadha, females must perform Salaah but
she has to perform Wudhu for every Salaah if the quantity of the blood
is small. But if the quantity of the blood fills the whole pad, then
she has to add one Ghusl in the morning before morning prayers and one
Wudhu for every Salaah. If the quantity of the blood is too much that
it not only fills the pad but it leaks out then three Ghusls will be
obligatory - one before morning Salaah, another before Zohr and Asr
and third before Maghrib and Ishaa Salaah.

Wassalaam.

Body . Ghusl . Mayyit

If one is not sure whether the dead body they have touched has been given the Ghusl Mayyit or not, what should they do?

Ghusl . Salah (Prayers)

If I have been missing some parts of my body in Ghusl while thinking that it was valid, have all my past prayers and good deeds gone to waste?

If you are sure that you did not make the water reach to any part of
your body, then the Ghusl is invalid. Even if you did not know that it
was compulsory to make water reach to every part of yor body.

You need to re-do all the obligatory worships like Salaah, fasting etc which
you did without a valid Ghusl. The reward for your previous deeds will
never be wasted by Allah SWT, but you must re-do it as it was being
done without valid Ghusl. You can perform the Qadha gradually.

Wassalam.

Ghusl . Wudu (Ablution)

I keep getting distracted with my thoughts when I make my Wudhu or Ghusl and then feel unsure whether I did it right. In such a situation should I redo the acts to be sure?

The doubtful thoughts about Wudhu and Ghusl and even Salah (Namaz)should be ignored if it is
repeated. If it happens once or twice, then we should be sure that the
Wudhu or Ghusl has been performed properly. But when it starts
repeating, then ignore it and take your Wudhu or Ghusl or Namaz as valid.
