Q&A/Fatwas

If a person is afraid that the sun would rise if he prayed the Sunnah, he should pray the Fard and then pray the Sunnah afterwards. And Allah knows best

Assalamu alaikum, What you have mentioned are irrelevant with salat. They are sins but they have no affect on prayers. It is like saying that you can’t pray in a room where a shaved man is sitting because shaving the beard is forbidden and a sin. Therefore, keeping alcohol in the room is a sin […]

This is permissible. The Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam used to pray while Aish, may Allah be pleased with her was lying in front of him.

Yes it is.

I didn’t understand your question. If I understand it correctly, you are not allowed to recite the Fatiha while the Imam is reciting it. You can recite it if the Imam finishes reciting it. If there is not enough time, his recitation would be a recitation for you. And Allah knows best

He has to stand up first and then bows for ruku.

You must try to wake up on time. Never the less, if you start your prayer and finish one Rak’ah before the sun rises, you have prayed Fajr on time. If you woke up unintentionally after sunrise or just as the sun was rising, you must pray Fajr immediately.

You can pray Fajr as long as the sun has not risen. One should pray is after the Athan which is when the dawn breaks.

You perform wudhu and pray to Rak’ah with the intention that Allah forgives your sin

These are ignorant and have no knowledge. The Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam approved of his companions taking money in return for reciting the Quran and Ruqya. Scholars say that it is permissible to take a salary for an Imam who is devoting his time for leading the prayers.
