My query is,my husband has a few job offers, so can I do istikhara before he finalises on a job? Is doing istikhara for someone else, or on behalf of someone allowed?

Prayer

No you cannot make istikhara on behalf of someone else. Each person makes istikhara for themselves when making a decision. You only make Duaa for him.

I’m a shareholder of a bank and currently I have almost 50,000,00 shares for more than a year. Do I have to pay Zakat on this? If yes, then what will be the calculation in light of Islam ?

Zakat

28 Jun

You have to give 2.5% of the value of today and you must repent to Allah and express sincere remorse as you are committing one of the major sins in Islam as dealing or assisting in RIBA is a major sin.

Can zakat be given to non-Muslims and Shiaa?

Zakat

28 Jun

No, Zakat is given for Muslims only, however, you may give charity to non-Muslims if they are poor and deserving.

Your prayer is invalid and you must repeat it and seek forgiveness from Allah for continuing to act as if you are praying while you have no wudhu.

u replied that when Imam makes dua like (ya rabbal alameen, or ya hayyu ya qayyum…) we should say nothing and listen only , does this apply to whole dua which he (imam) does in witr ? no need to say Ameen in witr dua in salaah ??

Prayer

When he asks Allah, say Ameen.

I am currently studying to become a pilot. I always hear from pilots I know that sometimes they even miss 3 Jummah in a row. As you know, the flight scheduling is not an easy thing to change. So what should we do?

Prayer

28 Jun

This is due to traveling and one who travels doesn’t fall under the warning of the hadeeth.

As we pray taraweeh and witr in the masjid with imaam, i couldnt actually pray tahajjud after a small nap as i prayed witr with the imam. so can i have intention of praying taraweeh when the imam praying witr and after the last one rakah tashahudd can i complete it as a two rakkah taraweeh and go home and do the tahajjud and witr with my convinience?

Prayer

28 Jun

This is possible but I wouldn’t recommend it as it would open a door for Satan to make you feel boastful. People will know that you want to pray more at home. It is best to offer witr with the Imam and then you may pray as many as you want at home without repeating your […]

what will I do if I am praying isha where by I should pray 4 raka an I forget an pray 3 what should I do?

Prayer

28 Jun

You must stand up and complete the missing fourth Rakah and then offer two prostrations after Salam. If you didn’t do that, your prayer is invalid as you have dropped a pillar of prayer and you must repeat it.

In our mosque 2 imams alternately conduct taraweeh and after 20 rakaths a new imam who was praying behind in the first row conducts witr. so if I go hone after 20 rakats will I get the reward of praying the entire night?

Prayer

27 Jun

These three imams act like one as this is one masjid. Therefore, by not praying witr with the last one, you lose the reward of praying the full night.
