Sleeping After Meals
Ummul Mu'minin, Sayyidah Aayesha R.A. narrates that Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said: " Make the digestion process simpler by engaging in Dhikr or Salaah after meals. Do not sleep after meals as this creates (spiritual) hardness in the heart." Mawahib Vol 4 Page 356
Note: Sleeping immediately after a meal is highly detrimental to one’s health. Ibn al-Qayyim RA advises a health-conscious person to at least take a hundred steps after supper (before going to sleep). Failure to do so does irreparable harm to the body.
Performing Salaah after meals aids in the digestion of the food. Hence it is advisable to engage in Salaah or any other form of Dhikr after meals. This would also be a display of gratitude for the food. [Ash-Shama'il al-Kubra Page 89]

Wearing Thin Scarf
It is not permissible for a lady to offer Salaah with a very thin, flimsy or lacy scarf. (This will apply when it is such that the hair or the body can be seen.) [Bahishti Zewar Page 143]

A Baby’s Vomit
Question: Is the vomit of a suckling infant impure?
Answer: If an infant (or a person) vomits a mouth full – it will be considered Najis (impure). A mouthful is defined as that which the mouth (of the one vomiting) would not be able to hold in without undue difficulty.
It would be necessary to wash the soiled portion of the clothes or body, especially if the amount is more than a Dirham coin (about the size of the inner recess of the palm). If Salaah is performed without washing it then the Salaah will not be done.
In the case when the vomit is a small quantity (less than a mouthful) then it will not be considered to be Najis (impure). It will be sufficient to wipe it clean.
( و ) ينقضه ( قيء ملأ فاه ) بأن يضبط بتكلف ( من مرة ) بالكسر أي صفراء ( أو علق ) أي سوداء وأما العلق النازل من الرأس فغير ناقض ( أو طعام أو ماء ) إذا وصل إلى معدته وإن لم يستقر وهو نجس مغلظ ولو من صبي ساعة ارتضاعه هو الصحيح لمخالطة النجاسة ذكره الحلبي (الدر المختار 1/ 137)
وما ليس بحدث ليس بنجس بكسر الجيم فيلزم من انتفاء كونه حدثا انتفاء كونه نجسا (شرح الوقاية 1/ 69)
