as I am getting older i need to learn how to pay zakat. I know how it works for gold/silver but what about money in bank? How does that work? On the day it’s due, do I have to calculate all my savings, or do I have to calculate how much I will earn that year and leave aside what I owe for the due date of zakat? I’m really confused about this matter

Zakat

29 May

You give Zakat on whatever gold and silver, and money you have in your bank account at the end of a lunar year. Money is treated like silver in regards to the threshold which is the value of 595 grams.

If it is permissible for a woman to hold the mushaf during nafil prayers then she will have to pick it up and put it down after every surah fatiha. Is this also permissable while performing taraweeh prayers ??

No problem as long as she is praying on her own.

During our childhood, my mother would tell a deceased’s family that “I will give you 40 Yaseen or 10 chapters of quran on behalf of my daughter/son (as in me)” for khatam. Later, she would force us to read them. But, when she would forget to remind us, we would skip them. As I was sitting today (15 years after that), I realized that I may have 4 – 5 Quran and more than 500 Yaseen to read.Need help

Reading/Reciting the Quran

This is an innovation and you must not do that.

Can one read the Quran’s translation only in ramadan, if one doesn’t know how to read in Arabic.

Yes, in shaa Allah, though one must try his level best to learn Arabic, at least to read it.

Sheikh.Both, my mother and mother in law are not able to fast.Can I give kaffara on behalf of both of them..It would be from my husband’s money that the kaffara would be given..If its permissible is it necessary to inform them about it..

You must take their authorization first before doing this and also take your husband’s permission as the money is his.

sheikh i frequently suffer from headaches and rely on painkillers to help with the pain. Would it break my fast if i was to orally take paikillers with a little bit of water? if yes can i take it more than once during the course of the day?

Fasting

29 May

If you must take it, then do so and make up for that day later on as any pill that you may swallow or any sip of water would immediately break your fasting.

If someone says if it wasnt for this cream my face wouldn’t have been this good. Is this considered minor shirk ?

Shirk and its different forms

29 May

Yes

I still have some fasts from previous ramadans to make up, can i make them up after my shawwal fasts or will my shawwal for this year not count unless i make up all my missed fast from the past? Also am I allowed to make up my fasts in the winter when the days are shorter or is that seen as less rewarding because the days are shorter?

Fasting

29 May

Yes you may. Your shawwal fast is only connected to this Ramadan and not the previous ones.
