Q&A/Fatwas

I set my alarm to wake up for Fajr time, but when I woke up I saw that my alarm battery ran out so I woke up past the time for Fajr. Can I pray Fajr because I slept past the correct time by accident?

I calculated the value of zakat that i had to give and it turned out to be 40000 rupees so i put this money aside. Few days later when i was about to hand over the zakat money, the rate of gold had changed and the due zakat now turned out to be 50000 rupees. At what rate do i give the zakat? According to the day i calculated it or the day when i hand over the money?

my question is:I have a land which i initially bought Four years ago with the intent to developed/built a house on it. Later I changed my mine to sell it so that I can meet up some of my needs.

So you told me to repeat only the ayah if I make a mistake in recitation of Al Faatihah, but is it also valid to repeat only the word? For example, if I make a mistake in “wa laddaalleen”, can I repeat only that word, or the whole verse?

Why not repeat only the letters you made a mistake in? That should be more economic!
