Wudu (Ablution)

Is my Wudhu considered invalid if the top of my foot is not all wet after performing the Masah?

Sipping over your feet is part and parcel of Wudhu, which should be by your wet hand on your dry feet. Wiping over your feet does not need to make all your foot wet.

Wassalam.

Feet . Water . Masah . Wudu (Ablution)

If a few drops of water fall on my feet while performing Wudhu, do I need to dry them before doing Masah? Will my Wudhu be invalid if I choose not to?

If you can perform Masah (wiping) on the dry area on your feet, then it is valid, but never do Masah on the water which falled on your feet. If the whole area is wet with that water,b then you need to dry it before performing Masah in it.

Skin . Wudu (Ablution) . Salah (Prayers) . Ghusl

Having potentially performed Wudhu and obligatory Ghusls incorrectly over the years due to unrecognized barriers on my skin and improper techniques, do I need to redo all my past prayers?

You may contact your Marje' of Taqleed and write full details of the situation and the reasons, then wait for his reply.

If you are sure that your Wudhu or Ghusl were invalid for invalid reason, you will then need to redo your prayers.

Wassalam.

Ghusl . Water . Wudu (Ablution)

If a small area during Wudhu or Ghusl remains dry and hasn't been touched by water, is the Wudhu or Ghusl still considered valid?

As for Wudhu yes and you need to repeat it.
As for Ghusl also yes, but you may be able to make it valid very easily.
So if this dry part is in your left side of the body you can make it wet with the intention of Ghusl and this way your incomplete Ghusl will become complete and valid (The reason is in Ghusl, Muwaalaat i.e. "not creating distance between the components of a task" is not a condition for validity but in Wudhu it is!)
According to Sayyed Khamenei if this dry part is in your right side of the body you have to make it wet and also wash the left side as well because in his viewpoint, the sequence of head and neck then right then left side has to be observed according to obligatory precaution. same is with the head and neck i.e. if the dry part is in your head and neck you have to repeat on right and left part again.
According to Sayyed Sistani, if this dry part is in your right part of the body also you can make it wet with the intention of Ghusl and there is no need to wash the left part afterwards.
But if it's in head and neck then you need to wash the body afterwards.

Bismihi ta'ala

This would depend on:

1. What type of ghusl it is.

2. The fatwa of your Marja' taqleed.

So, please refer to your Marja' taqleed.

OCD . Ghusl . Adhan . Salah (Prayers) . Wudu (Ablution)

Face . Head . Wudu (Ablution)

When wiping the top of my head during Wudhu, should I go all the way to the end of my hairline or stop before the wet hair resulting from washing my face?

Salam
A section of the top of one's head, is the place of wiping, and wiping any part of this section is sufficient, although it is recommended to wipe an area as long as the length of one finger and as wide as the width of three fingers.

Body . Tattoo . Wudu (Ablution)

Is it permissible in Islam to have tattoos on any part of the body, or are there specific areas that should be avoided, such as the arms and feet in relation to Wudu?

Having tattoos is allowed in principle provided it should not include any holy name of Allah (SWT) or any Infallible, and it should not be exposed by female to non Mahram men.

Tattoo does not harm Wudhu because it does not make a layer in the skin but just color which does not prevent water from reaching the skin while Wudhu or Ghusl.

Wassalam.

Ghusl . Najis . Toilet . Wudu (Ablution) . Najasa (Impurity)

Is the place where I perform Ghusl after removing any impurity considered Najis? Additionally, is a bathroom where I perform Ghusl, Taharat, and ablution considered Najis? Can wearing slippers inside the bathroom make them impure?

Bismihi ta'ala

Once you've done your ghusl, and there is no najasah substance anywhere there, then wherever the water has reached, it would be considered tahir. With wearing slippers inside the bathroom, it has the same scenariou. As long as there is no najasah substance, and there was flowing of water, it would be tahir.

Skin . Wudu (Ablution)

Does the application of spray tanning creams/mists that are left on the skin for a few hours and then washed off impact the validity of Wudhu?

Bismihi ta'ala

The only time it would impact the validity of the wudhu is if it creates such a level that water does not get to your skin. If water of wudhu does get to skin, then there would be no issue.

And Allah knows best
