I noticed while fasting something that felt deep at the back of my throat like a lump so I swallowed it. I know I rinsed my mouth many times after sehri and there was no food. If it was food it must have come up from my stomach. If I tried to get it out with my finger would risk being sick. Do I have to do this fast again, or was this fast valid.

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!

Many of my known person use taweez for their little children for protection of evil eye. I tell them it is not permissible. But they say that the little childrens cant memorize the ayat and surah of Quraan which are recommended to protect from evil eye. So they use the taweez which contains various surah. In this case, is it recommended and permissible?
