The tayitul wu’du is prayed “right” after doing wu’du. It carries a lot of sawab. Narrated Abu Huraira: At the time of the Fajr prayer the Prophet asked bilal, "Tell me of the best deed you did after embracing Islam, for I heard your footsteps in front of me in Paradise." bilal replied, "I did not do anything worth mentioning except that whenever I performed ablution during the day or night, I prayed after that ablution as much as was written for me." Bukhari Book #21, Hadith #250

If a person has a wet-discharge while travelling and bathrooms are difficult to access –--if bathroom NOT ACCESSIBLE AT ALL then a person can do wu’du and pray and the first opportunity a person gets to be able to go to a bathroom, one needs to do “istinja” wash the private parts and do wu’du.
If one has put mehendi on their head , and its time to pray then one can run their hands over the hair in the same manner as one runs them over socks or shoes—wet hands wipe them over the head. BUT if one has put a shower cap on the head , then one cannot wipe their hands over “it” .so take off the shower cap and wipe the top of the mehendi covered head and complete the wu’du.
Laughing loudly doesn’t break wu’du. But if one laughs loudly while praying , then namaaz is broken.
If one forgets to say Bismillah before doing wu’du, then one doesn’t need to do it again. Wu’du would inshallah be accepted.

Wu’du can be done with mehendi on hands or feet.

Tayammum on walls-if the walls are painted or wooden, then tayammum cannot be done on them. If there is any dust on them and THERE IS NOTHING ELSE to do wu’du on then its alright.
Wu’du in airplane toilets: Be careful as in water should not be wasted and the floor of the bathroom dirtied. Water in air planes is limited. We need to think of the needs of others as well.

Does one NEED to do gargles in wu’du?--- No. it is not necessary.

Anything which we apply and it doesn’t prevent the water from reaching the skin—we can apply it and do wu’du. BUT lipsticks, nail polishes and eye liners etc prevent water from reaching the skin. They should be removed for the purposes of doing wu’du
Blood coming out of any place (except from private parts) wu’du remains or not—there are 2 views about it:
1.if a cut occurs on the body and it flows and a drop is formed on the cut and it forms a drop and falls on the ground—wu’du is broken.
2.the wu’du is not broken . the scholars give the reference of the time when Umar r.a was killed , he was praying and he didn’t stop praying , though he was hurt. And Ali r.a continued to pray even though the arrow was taken out of his body. Blood must have flown on both occasions, but they continued to pray.
So if while praying , any wound opens up and blood comes out , due to continuous standing and sitting, then wu’du is not broken and one can continue to pray.
If a child does urine or potty and while washing some of it comes on the body or clothes of a person—bathing and doing wu’du again is not necessary. Just washing it very properly and cleaning the affected area is sufficient.

One should try to complete the wu’du in one stretch. If one needs to dry one foot before putting it in the shoe, then we can put something down on the floor to dry that foot and then wash the other one and then put it inside the shoe. What is not good : to start doing wu’du and then get busy in something and then come back and complete it.
Washing up children after they did their toilet breaks wu’du and touching private parts breaks wu’du

It is not “haram “ to talk while doing wu’du , But its not a good practice.
Vomiting doesn’t break wu’du—in small quantities. But if the vomiting is in huge quantities with al the food coming out then wu’du breaks and one needs to make it again.
Banadage and wounds—if a big wound and a proper bandage, then we can run wet hands over it.
But if the wound is a small inconsequential cut, and one puts a bandage on it, then one needs to take the bandage and make wu’du. One has to judge the seriousness of the wound and the bandage.
If the clothes touch the floor of the bathroom and the floor is dry then the clothes are clean.
If a child urinates on a carpet and one tries to clean it to the best of one’s ability, then one can pray on it by spreading a janamaaz on it.
