Ethics of Purification

As-Salamu `alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.Is it permissible to use a towel after making wudu’? I am asking about this because I have read a hadith stating that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not use it. Could you please shed more light on this issue?

Scholars of Islam, As-Salamu `Alaykum wa Rahamtu Allah wa Barakatuh. May Allah accept your efforts in explaining the truth for people! I have a question that I would like you to clarify. I use the modern toothbrush instead of the traditional siwak; is it ok? Moreover, what is the virtue of using Siwak in Islam?

Dear scholars, As-salamu `alaykum. If I perform wudu' (ablution) and then apply coverup (concealer) on my skin for vitiligo (loss of pigmentation), can I pray for a period of time until I break my wudu'? Jazakum Allah khayran.

Dear scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum. Can we read or touch the Qur’an without being in the state of wudu', but of course being neat and clean? Jazakum Allah khayran.

Dear scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum. Some sisters and I were discussing whether one can wear nail polish and make wudu' (ablution). Some of them argued that what applies to socks (i.e., that it is allowed to wipe over socks) should apply to nail polish, since neither socks nor the polish allows the water to reach what is underneath. Some compared it to hair dye! I know the view of Islam on wudu' and nail polish — that wudu’ over polish is invalid — but I would appreciate your help with these questions so I know what to tell the ladies next time we meet. Jazakum Allah khayran.

I have a quick question. I have been told that one must perform wudu’ (ablution) after taking a shower or bath. If so, then why is this necessary?

Dear scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum. Are you allowed to brush your teeth in the morning with toothpaste when you are fasting? Jazakum Allah khayran.

Droplets:::::;Sometimes during or after performing Wudu I feel that unintentionally some urine droplets are being released. And sometimes even during the prayer I feel that.In this case please guide me what is the status of my prayers in the light of Quran and Sunnah?

Asalamu Alaikum.. My question is about Wudu. When using the bathroom at work, there is no water to make full cleaning before making wudu for prayer. Do I have to make wudu anyway and to pray on time or can I wait till I get home and make it up. Jazakum Allah Kheer.

Assalamu Alaykum,I go to work and school, and return home at night. I make woudo at school, and in that condition I dont have anything to do(istinjaa) with. I compromise by wetting several pieces of napkin, and using that instead of using a cup or something of that nature. I would like to know if that is enough for my woudou to be correct? Jazakum allah kul khair
