House . Food . OCD . Salah (Prayers) . Non-Muslims

How can I manage my prayers when non-Ahlul Kitab maids work in my house, making it difficult to maintain purity due to their tasks with dishes, cleaning, and food? My mother is unwilling to replace them, and this situation worsens my OCD.

If you are sure that an item is Najis, you must avoid using it in your Prayers. If you are not sure that it is Najis, you can consider it as Taahir unless you want to practice Ehtiyaat (precaution).

Astrology . House . Door

Is Vaastu, a branch of astrology that focuses on the placement of elements in homes, such as the main entrance and windows, allowed in Islam? For instance, is it allowed to believe that a certain orientation of a door may cause harm?

We don't any reference from the Best Knowledgeable who are the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) and his holy Progeny (AS) about such claims. People are free to place their doors and windows as they can or wish as far as it does not harm their neighbors and other people. Vaastu claims might be influenced by certain cultural factors in certain areas. It can not be correct always and every where.

Muslim should avoid taking thoughts or ideas from non Muslims unless it is in accordance of the teachings of the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS).

If you think that you have an object that is causing you a problem due to unwanted spirits, put the object in a different location (outside your new home) and see if it helps.

I have always assumed that part of the reason why drawings/statues of animate beings, as well as certain other items, are discouraged in hadith (Sunni and Shi'i) is due to the possibility that they can sometimes become inhabited by unwanted spirits (even if this does not usually happen) (that is to say, it is not only about idolatry, as it is usually understood today).

Hanging a horseshoe has no benefit for us. We should avoid such habits especially when we find in some books that this act was initiated by enemies of Ahlul Bayt (AS).
