Ablution
Q [1]  Once I have completed Wudhu is it permissible for me to touch my husband or for him to touch me after he has completed Wudhu? Is the Wudhu valid?
Touching the skin of the opposite sex does not invalidate the Wudhu.
Q [2]  If Pre-ejaculatory fluid (or Cowper's fluid) is passed after ablution, is the ablution valid?
This does not affect the correctness of the ablution or the correctness of the prayer.
Q [3]  If after ablution a person is tempted towards some women, does this invalidate the ablution?
The ablution is not invalidated by such a thing.
Q [4]  A person after urinating performs Wudhu. He then performs prayer. Within his prayer he feels as though he has excreted a fluid from his urinary organ, but there is uncertainty as to the actual type of fluid. What is the state of his prayer now? Is it invalid?
If he did “Istibra”, which is the process of ensuring that there is no urine left in the urethra, or if he knew that the urethra had no urine left because of waiting for some time after urinating and before the purification or because of any other reason, then the prayer is valid and he should not pay attention to this doubt. If he did not perform the process of “Istibra” and he doubts whether the liquid was urine or not, then he should treat it as urine, consider the ablution and the prayer as void and purify the body and clothes that the liquid come into contact with.
Q [5]  Do bleeding gums make wudhu void because I have very sensitive gums that bleed easily?
Ablution is not void by such a thing.
Q [6]  If a women after Wudhu is seen by non-Mahram person, does her ablution become invalid?
No, this does not invalidate the Wudhu.

Q [7]  How do I perform Wudhu?
You start by washing the face from the upper parts of the forehead where the hair begins to grow to the farthest end of the chin, and its breadth is what is covered between the thumb and the middle finger. The said area must be washed fully.
Then, wash the hands by starting with the right hand from the elbow to the tips of the fingers. Then wash the left hand in the same way.
Then, wipe the head using the wetness of the right hand. Then, wipe the feet starting by the right one then the left, from the tip of the toes to the ankle. It is sufficient to wipe normally and it is not mandatory to cover the mentioned wiped area fully with wetness.
Q [8]  During Wudhu how many times must the face and arms be washed?

It is obligatory in ablution to completely encompass the face and the arms from the elbow to the fingertips with water even if it involves pouring water several times.
Q [9]  I know that in Wudhu I have to wash my face from the top downwards, but what if while doing that, I rub it the opposite way by accident?
There is nothing wrong with that as long as you washed correctly after realizing that you washed in the wrong direction.
Q [10]  Some people may develop a fungal infection of the feet called Athlete’s Foot. In order to cure it, the person needs to take certain creams. Does applying such cream have a negative effect on the wiping of the foot in Wudhu?
Usual kinds of cream do not prevent water from reaching the skin.
