Q: As we are in Covid 19 period and now that most of the masijds are reopening for Jummah and all other salats but due to fear of contracting Covid 19, is it ok to preform salaat at the house including Jummah (as per condition for at least 4 matured males)?

Forgoing Salaah with Jamaat in the Musjid due to not possessing good clothes

Submitted by admin on Sat, 2020-01-18 07:19

Q: I am a teenager. I fullfil my daily salah with jammat but now I can't go to the musjid because I have no more clothes. I have only old clothes which is not in that condition to go musjid with wearing them. I suffered some financial crisis also I am a teenager so my clothes are unusable very fast as I grow but nowadays I am fullfiling my salaah at home. I know this is not the way of the prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) but when I get clothes, I will rejoin musjid insha Allah. I am also very poor. Making clothes only in eid or some events, so this is only problem of some months, so what should I do?

University student delaying salaah

Submitted by user2 on Thu, 2019-09-12 07:53

Q: I have a few questions;

1. I’m a student at a university in Saudi Arabia. I sometimes have lectures from 3pm- 4pm, when asr time is around 3:20pm. The Muslims around me don’t get up and perform their salah when the prayer is called, they make it up after the lecture is over. So I wanted to ask, is it permissible to not attend to salaah because you are in a lecture hall while the teacher is teaching? I was very confused because I didn’t know whether I was just being overly attentive to my salah times and stressing over how to manage my classes timings and the salaah timings, or whether it’s essential for us Muslims to attend to our salaah immediately and a lecture is no excuse.

2. Sometimes I am eating, and the azaan is called, what should I do in that case? Should I stop eating and pray, then come back and finish my food? Or should I finish my food and then go pray?

Q: There is no masjid which pray namaz as per the true Sunnah method in our area. The nearest masjid is almost 14 km away. The nearest masjid follows Hanafi Fiqh. What should I do; should I pray alone at home or I got to the Hanafi masjid and pray as per Sunnah method?

Performing Salaah with jamaat at home

Q:

1. If I missed the prayer with jamat, can I pray with my family members (wife, sons, daughter) at home?

2. Can I miss the congregation prayer at the masjid and pray in congregation at home because the imam of the masjid makes masah on normal socks?

3. If I am sure that I will miss the jamat, is it compulsory to go to the masjid and pray alone or second jamat?

4. I hear the azan and iqamat and complete namaz but I am very tired to go and pray in the masjid, can I pray at home later with my family?

5. For Asar prayer, instead of praying with jamat in a Hambali maslak time, can I delay the prayer and pray (alone or with my family) at home after the Hanafi maslak time begins. (I listen to the complete azan and iqamat and jamat from the masjid's speakers).

Students performing jamaat salaah in a hostel

Q: We are hostellers, 3 friends (age 20-22) in one room and we have kept a separate place on the balcony of our room for jammat namaz where 4- 6 people (or more) can easily adjust without any problem. I heard a hadith that one who does not offer jammat salaah if he/she can, when he/she will be inside grave, his/her face will be moved away from the qiblah.

I told my friends about the hadith and one of my friends asked me who will be the imaan from amongst us since we all make mistakes. If anyone of us will be an imaam and if he makes a mistake, he will get the sin of the muqtadi's (people standing behind the imaam) also.

My point of view is that no one is perfect but we can try. If with full attention, concentration, seriousness, students like us would like to lead the jamaat of other students (even after knowing that we are not perfect), would it be wrong? 

Performing salaah with jamaat at work

Submitted by user2 on Sat, 2018-09-08 06:44

Q: I work in a hospital. The nearest Musjid/Musallah is about 5-6 km away. Alhamdulillah we have permission to travel for Zuhr salaah during our lunch break (Our lunch break is 30 min, but it takes about 40min to go for Zuhr salaah and come back to work) and have been doing so for approximately the last 3 years.

However there are colleagues from other departments in the hospital who are not always able to join us for salaah. Should we request hospital management to give us a room to perform salaah with jamaat, and encourage other colleagues to join us for jamaat, or should we continue to encourage them to join us for salaah at the musjid?

Q: I have been offered by my uncle to perform taraweeh salaah with two cousins of mine at his house. His house is between a musjid and a jamaat khana and is 650m from both. I wanted to find out if we are performing taraweeh there, can we perform the esha salaah there as well or not?

Q: For a house warming day, some Ulama are supporting people to read namaz (in jamaat) in a house that is subuhi instead of going to the mosque. Is it permissible to do that?
