purity

Alsalamo Alaykum, i have a very small question: After a man urinates, must he use water to cleanse his penis? Sometimes i'm at a public bathroom, and i can just use a tissue to wipe myself after the urine without using any water..i dry my penis from urine, but using no water. is that permissible? also, sometimes at work i feel like i wanna urinate, but i hold it so that i don't have to make wudu' again since sometimes it's cold and i have nothing to dry myself with, and i don't like to walk around feeling wet. Can i pray then urinate? or am i not allowed to pray while i need to urinate? i heard that i'm not allowed to pray while i need to urinate since i won't be able to focus. but what if i can focus?

Salaam, due to my eczema i like to use oil on my skin instead of creams as it lasts longer. My question is is that between ghusls i apply this oil to my skin, so when i go to do a ghusl the oil is still on my skin and water and oil dont mix so is my ghusl not valid? do i have to wash the oil off with soaps first and then do ghusl? May Allah reward you greatly for all your efforts with this site!Ameen.

Dear scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum. I prayed Fajr, Zuhr and `Asr without having had a bath for janabah (impurity) because I forgot. After having a bath at Maghrib time I repeated these prayers before praying Maghrib. Then my husband told me that it is essential to have the correct intention before having a bath, so I had a bath and prayed `Isha’ and I did not repeat the rest of the prayers. Are my prayers from Fajr to Maghrib valid? What should I do? Jazakum Allah khayran.

Dear scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum. I have been suffering from eczema on my feet for two years. I am treating it by using an ointment and I need to keep my feet dry all the time for the treatment to work. Is it possible to make wudu’ (ablution) by wiping on the socks? Jazakum Allah khayran.

As-salamu `alaykum. Even if they take great care to clean themselves, can Muslims use public washrooms knowing that there is a chance that their clothes may become soiled from urine splattered on the floor? How does this affect the validity of one’s salah (ritual prayer)?
