I need to know if I am allowed to eat one small piece of garlic every day in the morning or evening, (for weigh-loss). Is it completely forbidden to eat or not?

It is permissible to consume as much garlic as you wish and anytime. What you are not supposed to do – as a man –is to go into a Masjid while you have eaten garlic because the smell will annoy the worshipers. If you swallow it and it has no smell, you have no problem […]

No, this is not a masjid. This is a prayer hall or room and it doesn’t takethe ruling of masjids that should be owned for the purpose of prayers and it is made as endowments. And Allah knows best

Is it from the sunnah to give lecture on friday after swalatul fajr or not.

It is not part of the Sunnah in the sense that the Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam didn’t use to do this. However, he used to ask people after Fajr prayers whether anyone had seen a dream and he would then interpret it to them. But if giving a lecture after Friday Fajr prayer […]

It is an issue of difference of opinion among the scholars as some allow it. The most authentic opinion is that it is not allowed to be prayed at home. Therefore, if a person misses it, he shouldn’t perform it at home. And Allah knows best

During juma, in the middle of the khutbah, the imam stops sometimes to say a pray for the prophet, and he does this out loud in Arabic. But then, sometimes, the imam will stop to pray in silence and everyone else follows this.So I’m wondering, what is this silent prayer? It seems like everyone else knows exactly what to pray and I’m always sitting there somewhat lost, . I’m new to Islam, so I’m just trying to learn everything I can.

I am not sure I understand your question. Probably you are referring to the pause between the two speeches where the Imam sits down for a while. During this time most people ask Allah for forgiveness. And Allah knows best

Can i pray 2 raakah during the khutbah has started during the Juma’a prayer. Some say its OK while some are of the opinion that once the adhan is called for the commencement of khutbah then you are not suppose to pray 2 raakah that you should just sit and listen. Please clarify this confusion for me. Thanks.

If a person enters the masjid after the athan or while the Imam is delivering the Khutba, he must not sit down before praying 2 Rak’ah. This is the instruction of our Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam. And Allah knows best

Praise be to Allaah. Prayers should not be offered in mosques in which there are graves. The graves should be dug up and the remains transferred to the public graveyards, with each set of remains placed in an individual grave as with all other graves. It is not permissible for graves to be left in […]

It is best to pray at the masjid as this is the way of the Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam in Ramadan. And Allah knows best

I hear the Adhaan of several Masjids but the Masjid that I go gives Adhaan 2-3 minutes later to all the Masjids. I usually go before the Adhaan to the Masjid I attend so if I reach the Masjid before the Fajr Adhaan can I pray the Sunnah as I heard the other Masjid’s Adhaan? or I should wait for the Masjid which I attend to give Adhaan then proceed.

This depends on which masjid you believe is calling the Athan on time. A lot of masjids call the Athan few minutes before the real time so that people would stop eating in Ramadan. This is wrong because if people pray, their pray would be invalid because it was done before the proper time. Therefore, […]
