Q&A/Fatwas

When I make my intention for salah I don’t pronounce it by mouth which I know is wrong but I say in my heart “two rakah for fajr” and when I say Allahu Akbar something tells me that I didn’t do my intention properly or I didn’t say Allahu Akbar properly Then I start again and again.So can you clarify about the intention. Do I have to actually say it in my heart for example “2 rakah for fajr” or “3 rakah for magrib”. I know this is satans whisper what do i do sheikh. Some times it takes me 10 or even more to start the prayer. Please advise and clarify these for me.

We used to say: Assalamu alaika ayuha Annabi wa rahmatullah wabarakatuh but after his death we used to say Assalamu Ala Annabi wa rahmatullah wabarakatuh. Though saying the first one is […]

At my madrasa and my local mosque near school the imams both read dua after the fard prayer and everyone else cup their hands and say ‘ameen’. I recently discovered that Prophet ( peace be upon him) never did this after every salah with the raising of the hands and reciting the dua.

I was in college, and I did not know when it was maghrib time.However the girls from college started to prayAlso, when I asked my friend she said that it is maghrib time. I also heard a guy praying on the other side, but I did not know if he was praying ‘Asr or Maghrib.Anyway, I prayed and i thought to myself, that i will go home and check whether or not I prayed at the right time, by checking the timetable for prayer on the internet. But i did not do this, as I forgot. Have I done something wrong?

Asr time starts when the shadow of an object is equal it’s size. If this is right then the actual time of Asr starts at 4.06 pm and Fajr at 5.20 am but in our locality Asr is delayed to 5.30pm and Fajr to 6.00am. In this case what are the ruling for the men who join the jamath and the women who pray at home?

Women who pray at home can pray before the Athan if they are certain the time is due. This masjid most likely is following the hanafi school of thought and delaying prayer like this is not from the Sunnah. Mn should try to pray in another masjid that follows the Sunnah. If this is not […]
