Q&A/Fatwas

We know that there are 17 units of prayer that are obligatory (فرض) in one day. 2 in fajr 4 in zuhr 4 in asr 3 in maghrib 4 in Isha . What if a person prays only these 17 units?? Will he be asked about the remaining (Sunnah) units which he didn’t prayed??

When reciting a surah in the middle of the salah if I forget an ayah, and I get stuck and I don’t remember the next ayah, shall I take time to remember it or start the same surah from the beginning, or I start another surah or I leave the ayah and I read as much as I remember the rest of it? Sometimes it happens when I recite a newly memorised surah.

You must pay your zakat after completion of the lunar year. Whatever possession you have at the end of the lunar year, you pay your zakat on it if it reaches the nisab regardless of when you got your salary.
