If a container of cat food was washed under tap water, causing spills, and some small amount of water was added to purify it without removing the impurity, does that make the sink area impure?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

When tap water is used and the Najis item (A'yn al-Najasah) is removed then there is no question of impurity remains. Cat food by itself is not necessarily Najis unless it contains Najis ingradeint.

What is the recommended way to perform Ghusl in a small bathroom where water might spill?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Simply, make water reach your head and face and neck then your right side of your body, then the left side of your body. Obviously after having in your heart the intention of Ghusl for the sake of Allah (SWT).

The seat of my chair, made of porous wood with a small piece of fabric pinned on it, is Najis. I cannot take it to the bathroom or place it under running water. What is the correct way to purify it?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If the Najis fabric is from pork or dog or non Halal animal skin, then there is no way to clean or purify such material. If the Najis fabric is not Najis Al-A'yn, then you can wash it with water and make it Taahir.

A few years ago I realized that I do not wipe off my body and massage on scalp while performing Wajib Ghusl to make sure water reaches everywhere. Does this mean my Ghusl is invalid? If so, does that invalidate all my Ibadah as well?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Your Ghusl is valid because wiping off your body and massage on the scalp is not obligatory during Ghusl.

Wassalam.
