What is the ruling on the purity of nukht, the fluid surrounding the fetus in the womb, if it is discharged during childbirth or before it, with or without blood?
Answer
In the name of Allah, if it contains no blood, it is pure. However, if even a very tiny amount of blood is present in it, it is considered impure. Allah knows best.

Is it not permissible for him to pray with it?
Answer
In the name of Allah, yes — we have established in its proper place that alcohol is impure, so one must verify whether it has been used. However, if the medicine is applied as treatment for a wound, then one must follow the rulings of jabīrah (dressing) with respect to the area where the medicine was applied. Allah knows best.

If a cloth or mat, which is difficult to wring, is placed in a basin or tub and a large amount of water covers it, then the water is squeezed out by hand or foot, and the mat is hung to drain without being wrung out, is this sufficient, or must it first be wrung out before being hung?
Answer
In the name of Allah, the mat should be placed after being dipped in water on the edge of the basin and wrung out by hand, or by using a piece of wood placed on the mat to press it, or on clean ground. The amount of water that can be squeezed out is sufficient for purification. Allah is the Guide and the All-Knowing.

Is the opinion of His Eminence regarding the purification of the body and clothes from urine, whether with a large amount of water as a precaution or as a legal ruling, the same for the purification with a small amount of water? If my religious authority (Marja) prescribes the washing of the body and clothes with a large amount of water twice to purify from urine, can I follow His Eminence's opinion?
Answer
In the name of Allah, His Eminence the Marja prescribes the necessity of washing twice. Allah knows best.

How should one purify their clothes and body when they become soiled with urine? Specifically, what is the purification process when using a small amount of water, less than quarter of a liter measurement, and when using a large amount of water equal to the quarter or more?
Answer
In the name of Allah, pour water on the soiled area. When the water separates from the soiled area, pour water on it again, and the body becomes pure. If the garment is soiled with urine, pour water on the soiled area, then squeeze it, and the garment becomes pure. This is when washing with a small amount of water. If washing is done with a large amount of water, equal to or exceeding the quarter, immerse the soiled part of the body in the large amount of water, remove it, then immerse it again, and it becomes pure. For clothing, immerse it in water, remove it, squeeze it, and if you do this twice, the garment becomes pure. Allah knows best.

Do you consider your statement about the impurity of "Spirto" (Ethyl Alcohol) in all its forms to be a legal ruling (fatwa) or a diagnosis of the issue? So, if one of your followers investigates and, after consulting with trustworthy experts, determines that some forms of "Spirto" do not contain alcohol and are not intoxicating, would it be acceptable for them to apply perfumes containing such "Spirto" to their clothing during prayer, for example?
Answer
In the name of Allah, I am still convinced of the impurity of "Spirto" in all its forms. Allah knows best.
