Ablution - Wudu (2):

Q1: I have leather shoes. Now when I m at work, I have to do wudu for prayers in the sinks of the toilet area. I dislike to take my shoes off and do Wudu because I have a strong feeling of najasit on the ground there. I dont know which country the leather of the shoe is from nor if the animal was cut in the halal way. Am I allowed to perform Tayamum in regards to prayers or can I do wudu with my shoes on?

A: It is not lawful to perform Tayammum in this case as it is possible to perform the prayer in a different place even if you perform it towards the end of its allowed time.
The leather is considered impure – Najis if it was not from an Islamic country but if you were living in an Islamic country, then the leather is considered to be pure - Tahir.

Q2: For one suffering from incontinence, he is told that he must wash the urinary organ before each Salat. However, if he combines Salat, such as Dhohr and Asr, is it sufficient to wash once before the two Salats or must he do a washing before each Salat?

A: If the said person join between the two prayers with one wudu, then it is sufficient to clean the urinary organ before the first prayer for the two of them.
