Masah of the head

Submitted by admin on Thu, 2014-09-04 08:55

Q: When making wudhu, how should the fingers be positioned during masah of the head? I have heard some ulama saying masah of head should be made with all 5 fingers with an open hand, or some say masah of head should be made with 3 fingers (middle ring and baby fingers). Please advise.

Keeping two names

Submitted by admin on Thu, 2014-09-04 08:52

1) When 2 names are kept, eg Faathimah Zahraa, then is it fine -or not advisable- to call by only one of the names at times. Eg calling the child sometimes by both names, sometimes only faathimah, sometimes zahraa, is this fine?

2) When calling by both names together, would it be pronounced Faathima-tuz-zahraa', or Faathimah zahraa', or would both be fine to say?

Dry blood on the head due to psoriasis

Submitted by admin on Thu, 2014-09-04 08:50

1) If a person has severe psoriasis of the scalp that bleeds and dries up, then he makes wudhu as normal, but some dry blood remains on his scalp, would the wudhu be valid?

2) If this person touches the blood as his head is bleeding then wipes it on his kurtha by mistake, makes wudhu and performs salaah in that condition where there is some blood on his kurtha, is the salah valid?

Q: I felt like a dry particle from the private part fluid discharge fell on the carpet. I am not sure as I was checking my pants for wetness and felt that maybe a particle fell. I dusted the carpet and now I feel that maybe the impurity fell on the floor and now that I have mopped the house the whole house will be impure. Please help I'm in a lot of doubts and I keep cleaning as I feel everything is impure. Also if someone takes a shower in my tub can I consider the shower place pure.

Ambiguous words of talaaq

Submitted by admin on Thu, 2014-09-04 08:34

Q: I have read all the questions and answers on this website relating to talaak and Fasakh and the common factor is Intention. My question is, the husband must have intention when pronouncing divorce. What if the husband and wife constantly argue and the husband always tells the wife “I want you out of this house” “leave and never come pack” “I’m taking you back to your parents” "don't come back to this house". Can this be understood as a talaaq? How many times must/can a wife be told these words? Or should she just ignore them simply because the husband did not intend to pronounce divorce?

Q: Our Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) split the moon. Why now is the moon splitting us? Is it a warning from Allah or is it that such splits are a normal part of our deen?

Christianity and Judaism

Submitted by admin on Thu, 2014-09-04 08:21

1. As we know, in comparison to all world views and the other Abrahamic religions, we are the Ummatan Wasataa. Jews have strict laws (kosher) but little Ilm, belief and theology whereas Christianity is mainly belief and theology but very little law. According to Islam, did Christianity originally have laws, halaal and haraam and/or is this modern day Christianity wrong and changed in the sense that they claim that all is needed is the belief in Jesus as the lord and saviour?

2. Out of all the faiths and beliefs, including Abrahamic faiths, Judaism is the most closest to Islam. If their theology, belief and creed is most similar to ours (Islam), why is it that they will suffer a more harsh and severe punishment in Jahannum?
