What do I have to do if impurity falls on food or in water?

1. What do I have to do if impurity falls on food? If a small insect falls in milk, oil, what do we have to do?

i)if found dead     ii) if found alive? 

2. If I found a kid urinating in a lake(no change in colour, smell, flow) or a few people bathing, washing, can I use that water to purify things? Can I use it to make wudhu ?  

3.If a frog, lizard, rat is found in a water tank can I use it to purify things and make wudhu if they are alive? Can I use it if they are dead inside tank? Please tell me with respect to size of water tank also if it is more than 10*10 and less than that size? 

4. If a drop of urine falls on innerwear/underwear due to cough or some pressure, do I need to change it before salah? or is it enough to wipe with wet tissue/cloth 3 times? 

5. Its given that light physical impurity less than 3cm can be excused. If it is the case, how do we purify ourselves before salah? Can you explain the same situation for purifying for more than 3cm? I think we need to  wash innerwear 3 times. Can you please explain this clearly since dripping of urine any time of the day is a common problem. 

6. Even if a fly falls in water, we can take that out and drink.   Did I understand this correctly? Because most of the time, fly falls in 1/2 litre milk. If fly alive, we take it out and use it. If dead, we dispose milk completely. Is this correct practice? What do we have to do in this case? 

7. Children have the practice of eating chocolates even when it falls down, they will pick it up and eat it. Is this permissible? Can u explain this in Sunnah way? 

8. How to add water to cooking oil which has become impure thrice to make it pure?

9. In my home, kids sometimes urinate or feces fall in sofa, carpets, mattress (the ones which are very hard to clean/wash). How to clean sofas and carpets? In case of sofa, is it enough if  you wipe it 3 times with wet cloth? Or wipe only once till that dirt disappears? Similarly, a very big carpet, how do I clean it when its not possible to wash when the children do it often? You posted in lms to clean with wet cloth or vacuum cleaner. is it for once or 3times? 

10. I am having my periods starts with the week before exam and on the day of exam too. How can I prepare for quran assessment? Can I read using my laptop? lip read or in mind alone? Is that not a problem of attempting quran test during menses? 

11.I have 1 more doubt in dua during and after wudhu. What does it means “during” wudhu & “after” it? While washing each parts with water 3 times what do we have to recite actually?  I used to say “ashadu anlailaha illalahu wa’ashadu anna muhammadan abduhu warasuluku” all the 3 times wherever I am washing.  Is this correct or not? or do we have to say the other duas?

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh. 

1) If a small insect that does not have flowing blood (e.g. bug, fly, ant) falls into food, it should be removed and the food will remain pure and permissible, regardless if the insect is found alive or dead[1].

2) Those lakes and ponds which considered “a large body of pure water” (the surface area of which is approx. 225 sq. ft (20.9 sq.m) would only become impure once the colour, taste or smell of the water changes[2]. Hence, you can use the water to purify things and make Wudhu if the lake is falls under “a large body of water” and the impurity has not changed the qualities of the water.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
