Q&A/Fatwas

Watched your video where you quoted the hadith in which a sahabi offered salah after Fajr farz… But shaykh to my surprise, a local aalim in discussion told me that the hadith continues and propeht (saw) told NOT TO REPEAT it! I could not believe.. is this true? Where Can I find that hadith?

This is not true and there is no such prohibition as he claimed. It seems that he is mixing another hadeeth when the companion bowed at the entrance of the masjid and walked in the bowing position until he was in the row. The Prophet salla Allahu alaihi sa sallam told him after the salah […]

this is a question from my mum.My dad is 92 years old,most of the time he is in bed,we try to remind him of the prayer times and make tiammum for him and ask him to pray.Sometimes he prays some times he forgets and behaves like a kid.ls there any ransom?Do we have to calculate how many prayers he is missing?

If he is not sane anymore, prayer is not mandatory upon him.

If by any unavoidable reason we failed to do the aqeeqah on the 7th day of the new born baby, is there any prescribed day to do dat? Like 14th or 21st? Or after 7th, any day Is ok for dat?

Slaughtering

Any day would do but some scholars prefer 14 and 21 if it wasn’t done on the 7th.

My question is,if i am distracted during salah then, should I spit to the left 3 times during salah only . that is even in my fard salah ……while still i am praying. Please advice me how to do it.

Prayer

30 Mar

You may do that in the prayer. However try to focus more and be confident and strong!

Sheikh I wanted to know for magrib salah. If I join in congregation with the imam in 3rd Rakat. I have to make up 2 rakat I missed. So after 1st rakat do I have to get up or shall I remain seated for tashudhad and then get up. Please can you explain the right procedure on how I have to pray the 2 rakats I missed with the imam.

Prayer

30 Mar

Your first Rakah was the Rakah with the Imam. When he makes Salam, you stand up and offer your second with tashahud and then your third Rakah as usual.

sheikh if I am reciting surah fatihah and I felt a particular letter I am not reciting correctly and I repeat it again and again till it becomes correct…Does that invalidate prayer?

Prayer

30 Mar

By repeating the word over and over again means that you have a serious problem in your prayer. This may lead to invalidating your prayers for engaging in an act that takes it out of the norm. Never do this again.

I gave zakaat money to my uncle because he was collecting money in order to pay for his surgery. I gave him money but did not tell him that it was zakaat money. He already used the money to pay for his surgery. Was it compulsory to tell him that it was zakaat money before I gave him the zakaat money? Should I give zakaat again and ignore the money I gave

Zakat

30 Mar

No need to tell him that as long as he was truely poor or needy.

After the salam is said at the end of the fard salah behind the imam, people often shake hands with the ones on their sides. First with the right one the with the left. What is it about?

Innovations, Prayer

30 Mar

This is an innovation and is something cultural. It has no basis in Islam and one shouldn’t do it unless that particular individual he has not seen for some time and he wants to greet him because of that and not because of the prayer.

today i got late for thahjud, after finishing two rakas of Tahjud i was reading my vitr as i was on tashahud the azan for fajar started. is my vitr valid?

Prayer

30 Mar

Yes, in shaa Allah, provided you caught the first rukuh before the athan. If not, it is not valid.

will i get the rewards of conggregational prayer of any fard prayer if I join the jama’a on the last raka’a?

Prayer

29 Mar

If you got the last Rakah with the imam, this is a valid congregational prayer.
