Hearing oneself reciting the Takbeer-e-tahreema

Submitted by admin on Sun, 2014-08-10 10:20

Q: I wanted to ask regarding takbeer tahreema for Salaah. I have learnt that it is necessary to say it loud enough to hear oneself otherwise the Salaah does not start. I want to ask, do you have to hear the takbeer clearly or is it enough to hear the sound? Also, if I only hear parts of the tahreema, and not others, will my Salaah be valid?

Being forced by the government to pay interest

Submitted by admin on Sun, 2014-08-10 08:28

Q: If a person works at an accounting office that deals with tax and due to no fault of his own the government reassesses the tax liability of a previous period and charges it say a year after with interest and penalty. Is it haram to pay that? What if the accountant has to submit the payment since he deals with the account, is he liable for the sin too? Since he is not involved with the deal, it is not his account and he is not the scribe for the deal nor did he witness the contract?

Imaam breaking his wudhu in Salaah

Submitted by admin on Sun, 2014-08-10 08:17

Q: While leading the salaah, my wudhu broke. I was taught that it is best to break the salaah in this instance, due to the possibility of creating confusion. I therefore made one salaam and announced that my wudhu had broken while moving away. No one in the congregation stopped their salaah and the person behind me stepped forward to continue the salaah from the point that I stopped.

1. Was it correct for them to continue the salaah, as I had made one salaam (After my wudhu broke)?

2. Does the salaah have to be repeated?

3. Can you explain any other rulings that may help in such a situation (does the Imam have to appoint someone, or does simply moving away suffice,
etc)
