Q&A/Fatwas

My question is, do I need to make sure that the edge of all the five toes of my feet touches the ground, while performing Sujood? Or, is it okay, if I make sure that the biggest toes of my feet touches the ground? I would be eagerly looking for your reply.

Sometimes this is impossible! Try your best to have whatever is possible touching it.

Its known that a person who stays after fajr in the remembrance of Allah and prays ishraq and continues with adhkaar till the sun rises, he gets rewards of hajj and umra..IS it the reward of hajj mabroor(all sins forgiven) or is it just the degree of rewards?

Prayer

He makes dhikr until the sun rises and then he prays two Rakah! This would be rewarded as Umrah and hajj but we are not given more details! It seems it is only the reward of hajj!

I have moved to Pakistan from Saudi and the prayer timings here are confusing and weird. Instead of following the local masjid can I follow the timings on the fajr clock? (for fajr- the masjid gives Azan at around 5:30 am but according to fajr clock it’s at 5:08 am) And for asr the Hanafi method is followed by the local masjid, can I follow the shafii method?

Prayer

The hanafi method is wrong and you should follow the Shafee method or Umm AlQura calculations

A person praying behind the Imam had to recite Surah Al-Faatihah slowly (he has a sore throat) and could not finish it until, say, the Imam started to go into Sujud. If the person did Ruku, then stand up, (doing everything that’s obligatory and did not ‘touch and go’) and then caught the Imam in Sujud, can he just continue praying behind the Imam as normal without having to do anything else?

Prayer

His prayer is invalid due timbering this late!

Is it allowed for a person to give a whole cow if she has a baby boy or girl in the Aqeeka ? As in our country none likes to eat lamb or sheep . What is the ruling in that please …

Slaughtering

10 Oct

It is permissible to offer a cow, however you will have to offer 2 for a boy and 1 for a girl. It would be more economic and closer to the sunnah to slaughter two sheep or goats.

At time of isha prayer, dinner is served, but a person or two is not hungry and wants to pray first, also the wife wants to come along with the husband to the masjid. Is it correct if they pray first then come and eat or was it wrong for them to leave dinner which served and go pray, also if the wife wants to come to the masjid with the husband, can she be refused to come to the masjid?

Prayer

10 Oct

If he is not hungry or eager to eat, he should go to the masjid first! As for the woman, it is best for her to pray home but if she wants to go, this is permissible and he should not prevent her unless there is a valid excuse!
