Wudu'

Scholars of Islam, As-Salaam `Alaykum wa Rahamtullah wa Barakatuh. I’d like to ask a question: Can I wipe over may headscarf when making Wudu’ in the same way we do over socks. Jazakum Allah Khayran.

Scholars of Islam, As-Salamu `alaykum. When making wudu’ (ablution), is it valid to wipe over leather socks with wet hands as opposed to completely washing one's feet? And what is the ruling regarding wiping over the cotton or nylon socks or stockings?

Dear Scholars in Islam,When under stress I sometimes have a condition called irritable bowel syndrome which causes me to feel the need to pass wind suddenly and inconsistently. Sometimes, I go through a period without any difficulty but my symptoms can reoccur at anytime without notice, usually due to stress. However, I am able to control myse lf from passing the wind in order to keep my wudu. My questions are: a) so long as one does not actually pass the wind is his wudu valid, even if he is resisting the urge to pass wind? b) when combining Maghreb and Ishaa? I started to feel the wind during Maghreb prayer but controlled myself and continued on to praying Ishaa? and resisted the urge to pass wind, should I have made wudu in between the two prayers even though I didn?t pass any wind? I had just made wudu a few minutes prior. c) Is my Ishaa? prayer therefore invalid? I should mention that I also have severe waswass which causes me stress and in turn, I believe, makes my irritable bowel syndrome worse. -Your sister in Islam
