Question: I am a simple worker in a factory. One day, a government official came and said that this water well that you are using is illegal and you should give some money to the government for this well, and without knowing it, I performed ablution and ghusl with the water of this well for many years. What is my duty? Are the ghusls I performed and the prayers I prayed correct? Or am I still in the state of Janabah? Answer: Ghusls as well as the prayers you have recited are correct, and there is no need to perform ghusl again, but for subsequent ghusls, use permissible (non-usurped) water.

Question: It is written in Risalah that: If grape juice boils by itself or by cooking, it is Tahir (pure), but eating that grape juice is forbidden; Unless it becomes wine, in which case, in addition to being forbidden, it is also Najis (impure). Likewise, eating boiled grapes is haram according to obligatory precaution, but it is not ritually impure. My questions are: 1. Does this issue also include grape syrup? 2. Does this issue include grape jam? 3. While cooking, some syrups add some soil to it. After cooking the syrup, the soil does not show that it was previously poured into it, that is, it dissolves in it. Is it permissible to eat such syrup? Answer: 1- If grape juice is boiled, but before two-thirds of it evaporates, it turns into grape syrup, according to the necessary precautions, it is not halal to eat, and it can be mixed with water, and after that two-thirds of it evaporates it becomes Halal. Also, the above applies to grape jam. 2- After evaporation of two thirds, grape syrup and its jam, if it boils by itself or by cooking, it is pure and halal to eat. Unless it is intoxicating. 3- A small amount of soil, which is usually lost and dissolved during cooking, is not a problem. -
Purity and impurity Question: What about the leather products made in a European country, if we are unaware of the source of that leather? It is said that some European countries import cheap leather from Muslim countries and then use it for manufacturing various products. Can we consider such leather pure? Are we allowed to say salat in them? Can such a weak probability [about it originating from a Muslim country] be given any credence? Answer: If the probability of the leather originating from a zabiha (an animal slaughtered Islamically) source is so weak that people would not normally give any credence (for example, the probability of 2%), it is to be considered impure and this cannot be used in salat. But if the probability is not so weak, it can be considered pure, and using it in salat would be permissible.
