Q&A/Fatwas

Can we give our fitr to build the masjid?

Zakat

12 Jun

No, zakat ul Fitr is not meant to build the masjid.

Did Prophet (salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) teach Prophets surah Fatiha before he led them in prayer in masjid Aqsa? This question was put me by a man when I told him that salah with out Fatiha is not valid, as per Hadith of Prophet (salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam). What/How should I respond him to this question?

They were all messengers of Allah! There is a probability that they knew it by heart, the other possibility is that the prayer was aloud and they didn’t need to recite it!

Does running nose during the salah or if the water falls on the clothes while praying salah, will it make the salah void?

No.

I was wondering about the athan and the iqama when combining prayers. Are they the same? I heard someone say in instead of “Hayya alassalah” say (pray in your home) is that correct? If so is it in the Athan or the Iqama? How many times to say it? And its Arabic form.

This statement is said when there are obstacles preventing people from praying in the masjid such as great rain or snow!

If the Imam is in the last Tashahhud, how should a person join him? Should he just sit down or should he do takbiratul Ihram and folding the hands on chest, then sit down?

Prayer

21 May

He should do takbeer and sit immediately.

“The person who is praying behind an imam should not move to the next posture of the prayer until the imam has reached it”. Some imams say the takbeer after they have reached the next position, some say it before they have reached. When should I start moving towards the next position? With the takbeer or after the takbeer?

Prayer

When the imam has reached the position he is moving to, regardless of his takbeer. But if you can’t see him, then only move after he finishes his Takbeer.

During prayer I made low mmm sound while thinking about something for a second. I completed my prayer because I have bad waswas that always makes me think my prayer is invalid. But is my prayer valid if I made this sound?

Yes in sha Allah your prayer is valid. You should not redo your prayer unless you have done something to invalidate it, otherwise you open the door to waswasa.http://islamqa.info/en/87749

Can we pronounce the iqama after the mudahin as we pronounce the adhan? If yes what is the reply for qad qam atis?

Prayer

No, there is no reply to iqama.

I prayed my isha Salah after making wudhu and after about an hour I felt something like a small piece of food in my mouth. So does my prayer become invalid and do I need to perform it as a qada prayer because the time of isha was over when I found it?

Your prayer is valid in sha Allah.

When I went for Tajweed class, during the Asr time, sisters made their own jama’ah after the adhan in the cellphone but I did not join them. Then the imam made adhan and I waited for half an hour for the iqama. But there is no one in the brother’s section so I started to pray alone. when I finished praying, the imam called for the iqama so then again I joined the imam in salah. Is my salah valid?

Prayer

You prayer is valid in sha Allah but you made a mistake in repeating it.
