Ghusl . Hair . Head . Wudu (Ablution) . Masah

Is my Ghusl valid if while doing my Wudu during Ghusl I joined my 4 fingers to wipe my hair instead of 3 joined fingers whilst wiping my head?

Bismihi ta'ala

You will not be able to do both wudhu' and ghusl simultaneously and at once.

So, you can either do wudhu' before ghusl, or after ghusl.

When you wipe your head during wudhu', you can use four fingers, or three fingers. Both cases are fine.

And Allah knows best.

Shower . Wudu (Ablution) . Ghusl

Is my Wudu still valid if I perform mandatory Ghusul but touch my private parts to ensure they are cleansed or touch them with a towel when I am drying after the shower? What about if I make Wudu first and then shower and touch my private parts?

Bismillah,

Asalamu Alaykom,

Merely touching one's private parts doesn't break Wudu for Shia Muslims; it would however break one's wudu for those who refer to themselves as Ahlus Sunnah. Yes, if one masturbated causing ejaculation this would break the wudu and one would require ghusl al janabah.

Bismillah

Thank you for your question. It is not considered tahir, but if the amount is less then the tip of the thumb to the first crease on your thumb, then it is alright to pray with that amount of blood as long as it has not come into contact with water. For the specific amount of blood there may be differences in opinion and so please also refer to the book of Islamic laws of your Marja.

May you always be successful

Najis . Wudu (Ablution) . Istibra

I do Istibra but sometimes even after doing it some drops come out. Does that make me Najis and does it invalidate my Wudu?

After doing istibra you can assume any drops are pure and your wudu remains valid.

Hair . Head . Wudu (Ablution)

What is the criteria for long hair that should be parted before wiping the head in Wudu? How long does such hair have to be?

Long hair should not not extend more than the area of wiping. If it goes more than the area of wiping, you will be then not wiping on the area required to be wiped, that is why you need to part and wipe over the area itself and not in another area of the head where the long hair reaches.

Women . Menstruation . Wudu (Ablution) . Iftar

If women perform Wudu during menstruation, does anything they do break it?

It is recommended for the women during her menstruation period to perform Wudhu in the time of Prayers and wear her prayers dress and sit on her place of prayers and be busy in remembering Allah for time like her prayer time. This Wudhu break like any other Wudhu although such Wudhu does not allow her to perform Namaz because of her menstruation.

Ghusl . Hair . Wudu (Ablution)

Can I perform Wudhu right after my Ghusl? And is it permissible to do Wudhu even if my hair is wet from the Ghusl, or do I need to dry it first?

Bismihi ta'ala

Yes, you can perform wudhu' right after your ghusl, but for wudhu' it is a necessary condition that your head and your feet be dry when you want to wipe them.

Once you finish your ghusl, dry yourself down, and then do wudhu'. Another option is do your wudhu' before you do the ghusl.

And Allah knows best.

Ghusl . Wudu (Ablution) . Menstruation

Where can I read about how to perform Ghusl-e-Haiz and is it compulsory to perform Wudu right after the Ghusl?

Bismillah,

Asalamu Alaykom,

Check in your Islamic laws book of your marja for details and conditions of when to perform this. It is like a normal ghusl with a different intention.

Wudu isn't needed after ghusl al janabah and you would automatically have wudu unless you break it during or after your ghusl. For other non-janabah ghusls wudu must be made after if you wish to pray. If your marja states ghusl al hayd gives wudu or ghusl al juma' then you may follow this.

May Allah grant you success

Wudu (Ablution) . Ziyarat Ashura

Do I have to do Wudhu before reciting Ziarat Ashura?

Not compulsory. Although it is always recommended to be with Wudhu as much as you can, but it is not obligatory to be with Wudhu for reciting Ziyarat or for reciting Quran or reciting Du'a. It is just recommended and not obligatory.

In the name of Allah

Touching the words of the Quran without Wudhu or Ghusl is Haram.
However, Touching other parts of the Quran, like the cover, page margins, etc. without Wudhu or Ghusl, is not Haram, but it's Makrooh.

WasSalaam.
