You can change your position after finishing the prayer. وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسلم: ” من قَالَ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ فِي يَوْمٍ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ كَانَتْ لَهُ عَدْلَ عَشْرِ رِقَابٍ وَكُتِبَتْ لَهُ مِائَةُ حَسَنَةٍ وَمُحِيَتْ عَنْهُ مِائَةُ سَيِّئَةٍ وَكَانَتْ لَهُ حِرْزًا مِنَ […]

I have been doing Salat Al IStikhara for the past 2 days. For the first day, I don’t remember the dream, 2nd night; I saw the person in the dream, but still am not sure what it was all about. What do I do? It is actually about a boy, whom I have come across and have started to have a liking towards him. I haven’t met him yet, thinking that once the Istikhara is positive, I would meet him. Can you please give me some duas, on how he should show interest, rather than me chasing him?

Prayer

The purpose of Istikhara is asking Allah to choose for you something that you are about to do. Dreams don’t have anything to do with it. As for your condition, you shouldn’t be attached to the idea of getting married to this brother as he didn’t propose and you can’t sell yourself cheap by hinting […]

I go sometimes when I feel like to the Friday prayers, I get really annoying when the imam is speaking Arabic in a mosque where the majority doesn’t speak Arabic, do I have to go to khutba if I don’t understand what he says?

You must attend the prayers from the very beginning and attend the Khutba as well even if you don’t understand it. It is recommended to go to a masjid that speaks your language. The earlier you come to the masjid, the greater your reward is.

Sheikh, I wanted to ask you I travel 3 or 4 times a week to another city. I heard you can pray duhr and asr together. Is this aloud to pray?
