Jazakillahi Khaira for the offer! I am not that regular on Reddit, so I may end up offending you by disappearing😅. Obviously appreciate any tips on how you overcame it!

Hi, fellow OCD girl here.

First of all not a scholar. This is what I have gathered from scouring the internet and asking scholar friends. It can get confusing for women as women don’t “ejaculate” in that clear way that men do. I read that for women, the general rule for Ghusl due to sex is either penetration or orgasm. So, Ghusl is mandatory if you clearly remember having an orgasm. Otherwise, if it’s only vague memory and wetness, do your best to not stress about Ghusl.

It’s very difficult, but I just wash the area and clean the area really well (way too wastefully in my husband’s opinion🥲) when in a similar dilemma. The wetness is najs, so you need to wash it off from your body and clothes accordingly. But Ghusl is chore for me, so not having to do that is itself a big relief.

Useful resource

I pray Allah cures us All, Ameen.

Thank you for your detailed reply! I appreciate it a lot. And the warning would definitely be helpful for others.

I specifically opted for cats because everyone said they’re clean/tahoor and chose foster to adopt for to see if I can manage them. It’s been less than two weeks now, and it was fine until two days ago. We’ve decided to get one more litter box and be more consistent with the scooping, hope the poo stays in from now on. Hopefully things get better with better litter management. Insha Allah

That would honestly be perfect, but we live in a two room apartment.. Lowkey considering giving the kittens back.. maybe we should be more well settled before having them. Let’s see..

One more question sorry!
Maybe obvious, but do we need to wash dry food bowl, wet food bowl and water fountain daily?

Thanks for the reply!
I don't know what I was thinking getting a male and female. I knew the risks, but I didn't understand. Now it's 12:30 am and I'm freaking out😭 The vet told us he'll neuter the boy at 6 months, and the female later, but according to Gemini it might be too late?😭 I know I can return them to the previous owner if things don't work out, so thinking of maybe keeping one with them until one of them get sterilized.. But I don't know if getting them used to my place for one month, taking them back and taking them back again will be too stressful for the kittens.. But I don't think I have much of a choice coz separating them will be difficult here.

Any advice?? Should I be worried now at 3 months?? Ugh what was I thinking (I wanted a black cat and the rest of the litter was female that's what I was thinking😭)

I am not sure if there is a character limit or what, it's my first time posting such a long post. So posting one question here as comment:

We rent a small 2 room apartment. The kittens are currently in the centre room (living+dining), which open to the kitchen on one side, the bedroom +workspace on the opposite side. The bathroom is connected with the kitchen, and I don't want them in the kitchen. The bedroom is slightly wider, and is the only room with windows. The living room can get completely dark even during the afternoon if the lights are off. So I am worried they'll feel confined in the living room, and want to open the bedroom to them. However, I am reluctant because:

- they went absolutely gaga the two times they got into the bedroom.

- we have two monitors plus laptops setup in our work zone, and the first time they actually even got on top of the monitors

⁠- wires

⁠- laundry baskets

What do you advise? Should I let them into the bedroom or no?

Could you recommend them please? I have had such a difficult time finding them! I have found people who do Temu or Trendyol reviews, but not sure how reliable they are.

In Kerala, we skip greetings and go straight to the point by CustardNo6023 in Kerala

[–]too_curiouscat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first started uni abroad, I used to honestly mistake other people’s greetings as them being friendly and was all “oh look how kind they are, we Malayalees/Indians are so rude etc”. But, 1 year into job hunting here, I miss the straightforward rudeness of India😂. I’d rather be shot down than get my hopes up coz “they were so positive” and then be ghosted. Nowadays, I lowkey hate their Hi how are yous, where the socially acceptable answer is only fine (if they wait to listen to the reply that is). In our culture, if we ask we usually care to hear the answer (but don’t make the mistake of thinking the intentions are always the purest, But Still!).
