Q: Please advise if it is permissible for a person sitting in sunnat i'tikaaf to come out of the musjid and perform ghusal for a mayyit, or do it whilst on the way or on return from the toilet due to there being no one else in the area who knows how to perform ghusal for a mayyit. 

Forgetfully licking one's finger with flour on it while fasting

Q: If one is fasting a qadhaa fast and during the fast one touches a food item, while cooking, which has some flour on it and then licks the finger, instinctively and unintentionally - will it have broken the fast if one did not wash out the mouth thereafter?

Q: If a girl was fasting and at the time of asr, she's confused and not sure if she saw slight redness and after maghrib she saw her haidh had come. So when must she take a ghusl if she gets it for 10 days? (Asr or Maghrib Time)

Will she have to make qadha of that fast?

Fasting being given priority over nafl ibaadat

Submitted by user2 on Tue, 2021-05-25 08:25

Q: I would like to fast and try and see how far I can make it. The problem is that when I tried fasting last year, the medications I take for epilepsy are much stronger without food so I end up waking up after 11 or 12 noon most of the time and then don't have much energy for tilawat, zikr, etc.

Should I give fidya and put my tilawat, zikr, duaa, etc. first or fast? For me it's a matter of nafl or fardh, which is more important, the fast or the ibaadah and tilawat?

Q: If you get your period (haidh) during the latter part of the day (e.g. an hour before maghrib), does your fast break and is qadha necessary or is the fast accepted?

Fasting and making Eid according to the region you are in

Submitted by user2 on Tue, 2021-05-25 07:19

Q: I live in one region and work at another. Most of the time it happens, that the first day of Ramadhan/Eid in both regions differs. Like, the region of my home has the first day of Ramadhan and Eid one day before the region of my work. I am always at my work region at the start of Ramadhan and for Eid I always go to my home region. By doing so I usually end up having one day less of Ramadhan (one less roza) 28 Days of Ramadhan instead of 29.

Please advise how should I proceed with this. Should I start Ramadhan with my home region even while I'm in my work region although all the other people are not having Ramadhan there? Or Should I fulfill that one day of Ramadhan after the Eid in my home region?

Making fardh ghusal after sehri

Submitted by user2 on Sat, 2021-02-27 06:37

Q: As the month of Ramadhaan approaches, I would like to ask the following:

1. If a person goes to sleep and upon waking up for sehri, he notices he is in need for a compulsory ghusal due to a dream he had. Can that person eat sehri, START HIS FAST and thereafter have a ghusal before fajr?

2. Or should he have a ghusal before sehri? (What if there is a fear of missing sehri?)

3. If a person does have a ghusal AFTER sehri before fajr, ONCE HE STARTED HIS FAST, will his fast be accepted/valid?
