Prayer

I work with a brother who does not pray fajr when it’s dark. Fajr is at 5:45 and sunrise is 7.20 in England. He prays 20-30 mins before su rise. he say we must wait till there is a bit of natural light outside. What is the ruling of this.

16 Oct

ANSWER: If he prays it before the sun begins to rise, his prayer is valid but he is going against the sunnah.

sheik is it good to pray in a dark room, sometimes I pray tahajud and I don’t to interact people for their sleep, so I do my things quitelly and also pray on dark room, some pepole say praying in dark room you pray with sheytan, is so?

ANSWER: What these people say is absolutely baseless! No problem in praying in a dark room but it’s best to pray with lights on.

ANSWER: Yes.

Previously when i prayed salah and I had food stuck in my mouth; I used to quickly spit it out in front of me. However my sister said to me not to do that and that my prayers could be invalid. Are my prayers invalid if I was ignorant of a ruling? Plus I don’t remember how many prayers I did whilst spitting out food.

09 Oct

ANSWER: Spitting in the direction of the qibla while in prayer is a serious offense and insulting to Allah. The prophet salla allahu aliahi wa Sallam ordered that we do not allow such a person for leading the prayers. However, if you were ignorant of the ruling and repented, Allah is most forgiving.

Some days directly after fajr I see people at my local mosque praying another salat. Even if the time for fajr hasn’t elapsed can they still do this? I was always told we can’t pray after we pray Fajr.

05 Oct

ANSWER: Maybe they’re praying the Sunnah of fajr that they have missed.
