So you told me to repeat only the ayah if I make a mistake in recitation of Al Faatihah, but is it also valid to repeat only the word? For example, if I make a mistake in “wa laddaalleen”, can I repeat only that word, or the whole verse?

Why not repeat only the letters you made a mistake in? That should be more economic!

When the colour of these things is dark, it is very difficult to check, especially if the impurity might be very little. Sometimes I tire myself and start washing everything. What should one do?
