بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم Salam alaikum all. I have a question with regards to the water we use in wudhu. For reference I have already read the fatawa of Ayatullah Sistani but did not find the answer there. At what point does it become necessary for us to ensure that water from one part does not mix with the water from another part? I know that the water we use to wipe the head and feet should not be mixed with water from the face/hair that was washed initially. I think it is better if I ask specific questions: 1- While washing the face, if the water that is dripping down from the face gets collected in the palm (while taking water from the tap again), is it ok to use that? Or do we need to wash our palm with the tap water to ensure that there is no mix? 2- While washing the left hand, if water from if any part of the right hand besides the palm goes on/touches the left hand, is that considered as old water? Eg while I am or after washing my left palm, my left hand fingers come into contact with the back of the right hand or my right arm. Can I do masah with my left hand now? Or is this new water so I should wipe over that spot again with the wetness in the left palm? What if the new wetness in the left palm is more than the old wetness in the right palm? Or do I have to start the wudhu over? The same question would apply if, instead of touching my right hand, I touched the tap or sink. You get the idea.. the above two questions I face on a daily basis but specifically the concept of water use is I think not very well explained in the books of jurisprudence or maybe it is just me that is missing something. Many thanks.

Salam, I’m an 18 years old male. Suffering alot because of tahirat issues. I cant concentrate on my studies and as well as cant pray..: In the past, I didn’t pay attention to the taharat. I used to wash my hand once after toilet under the tap. First I washed my hands, then applied soap and then again washed it. So my question is will this be counted as 2 washes or 1 washes? Was my hand pak? Because according to Sistani, it is mandatory to wash twice in order to make your hands pak. Another question is that if i washed my najis hand (because of Urine) once under the tap properly and throughly, without washing it twice, will it be considered pak? And if not then will the najasat transfer to other places i touched them with wet hands. Please help. May Allah bless you

specifically starting at 7:45 and onwards This debate is fairly civil especially in that type of environment, so if members can take a look, what kind of defense can we use to facilitate our argument that this verse helps us in our idea of Imamat as Usool Al'deen and thus obligatory? The sunni man uses the idea of context between ayah 33:32 and 33:34 in order to use his idea, which for the most part is fair; what can we say about this? Is there something the shia man is missing or forgetting to say? Sunnis and Shia's welcome Salam

Wikipedia has a webpage of the English translation of the Holy Qur'an by Abdullah Yusuf Ali, so I looked at it and thought this will be useful to quickly look up surahs and ayahs. I decided to click on 33:33 which is one of our beloved ayahs about Ahlul Bayt AS. Using my home computer with mouse, I clicked on Surah 33 and I saw the table of ayah numbers and the color of ayah 33 looked a little bit different than all the other ayah numbers. At first I thought somebody else already clicked on that ayah so that is why it looks different. Then I noticed that you cannot click on it, like somebody doesn't want you to read it! How strange! If you want to see 33:33, you have to physically scroll down the page until you find ayah 33. If you are using your phone, can you click on 33:33? Can anyone explain this? Is this an example of kufr in the modern time, right in front of our faces, to try to cover up ayah 33 of Surah 33? :donno: http://wikiislam.net/wiki/The_Holy_Quran_-_Abdullah_Yusuf_Ali
