Q&A/Fatwas

Is sujood the best position during Salat to supplicate and make dua and ask for individual wants & forgiveness? Can I recite the 99 names of Aallah swt and other Dua from the Qur’an when in Sujood and make dua in my own language. Please advice. Shukran_

ANSWER: In sujud the sunnah is to make duaa, you can use the names of Allah to make a Duaa, eg, to say”ya shafi ishfini”, but to recite the Names without making duaa, this is not permissible. There is no problem to make a duaa from a Qur’anic verse. https://youtu.be/hYToZVeAl20

Somebody has asked , There is a man , he has loan to pay , his son is earning . So can I as an outsider pay my zakat money to this man who is in debt so as to lighten his burden of debt.

Zakat

ANSWER: Most Muslims have loans of their cars, houses, new furniture etc. Not every loan is eligible for zakat. Only when a person is in trouble with the debtors due to a losing business or he lost his fortune due to an accident or he is threatened to go to jail for it.

Firstly thank u so much for replying my queries, Allah bless you.I heard that condition of paying zakat is the custody of amount 1 lunar year.like in last Ramadan I had 1lakh and in this ramzan few months back I collected some amount and now is 1.4 lakh ,so I will pay zakah on 1lakh as this amount I had for whole year.Am I right?

Zakat

ANSWER: You pay the zakat over what a full lunar year finished which is the one lakh. However, it is best if you unite the date for all what you have whether it came a year ago or few months ago as keeping track with which came when is difficult if not impossible.
