If I get a guard dog and it enters my home, does my home become impure?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is allowed to have a guarding dog but if it touches any item with wetness, that item will become Najis.

'Wassalam.
If my Marja's view is that non-Muslims are impure based on obligatory precaution, but another scholar such as Ayatullah Makarem Shirazi holds the opinion that they are pure, can I follow his view on this matter?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

You need to request your Marje’ to guide you to the second most learned after him so that you can refer to in the matters which your Marje’ does not have a verdict on.

Wassalam.
Are there varying degrees of Najasah? Is semen considered more impure than pork or blood?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

If something is najis al-'ayn, it would not be different in its level of najasah with something else najis al-'ayn, but the difference between najasaat is the method of purifying. 

And Allah knows best.
I suffer from Waswasa. If I accidentally made something impure and it transfers to my mom's wet hands while she is performing her prayer after Wudu, does it invalidate her prayer?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

One of the best ways of removing waswasah is never to accommodate to thinking of such scenarios. Do not create scenarios in your mind, and do not assume najasah at all. Your taklif and duty is to completely dismiss your shakk by ignoring it and considering whatever scenario you are in to be tahir and pure.

And Allah knows best.
