Q&A/Fatwas

In my place of living the fazar prayer time starts at 3:39 (today). But the mosque gives azan at 4:15 or even delay more. But the mosques were very much on beginning time during Ramadan. My question is up to what time I can pray tahajjod and take food to keep fast? Is it azan or actual time from apps?

Praise be to Allaah. It was proven that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) prayed Witr in different ways. He prayed one rak’ah, and three, and five, and seven, and nine. And he prayed three rak’ahs in two different ways, either continuously with one tashahhud, or saying salaam after two rak’ahs […]

Is it mandatory to give qurbani where your residence ( I am in Canada) is or its permissible to give qurbani in your homeland? It’s a bit expensive in Canada and there’s not many relatives we have here. Since we don’t know any poor here, we give one portion to Muslim food bank, one portion to few Muslim family friends and one portion for us. Can I give in my homeland?

Follow the Asr time on the app as people in Pakistan follow the hanafi math’hab and delay Asr.
