I have one question during the caliphate of Maula Ali (a.s)
He would have taken back bagh e fadak back, then why he didn't take it back. What happened then?
His short time in power was plagued by civil war after civil war. He was not able to do a lot of things because certain people would not stop trying to topple him.

How should one deal with bad tempered father?
My suggestion is to just continue to be kind to him. If you see he is in a bad mood then give him space. Don’t be confrontational with him. Ask Allah to improve your father’s character and temperament.

I wanted to ask I've been suffering from this thing where I keep thinking I’m doing my wudu wrong and keep repeating. I know you’re suppose to wash from the hairline to the beard but when I get to the hairline I touch a little bit of my actual hair.
It is fine and you should ignore your doubt and continue on.

All Questions
If one forgets to make taharaat, or is unable and later remembers after salah, is the wudhu or any of the prayers valid?
Also, if there is time left to redo the salah still in its given time?
If the parts of wudhu that needed to be washed and wiped were not najis and the najasat was somewhere else then the wudhu was valid. If one realized the najasat after salat then salat is valid. If one knew najasat was present but forgot then remembered they need to repeat the salat.
What if like the najasaat urine is felt only, like its wetness on ones leg. Does it matter that you can't say whether it was just a sprinkle or more?
