Performing the nafl salaah after Esha whilst sitting

Submitted by user2 on Sat, 2022-03-05 07:49

Q: Regarding the two nafl after the Witr Salaah, I have seen and been told that it's sunnah to read it sitting down. What if I am young and have no ailments that require me to sit down and read this salaah, is it still sunnah to sit and read it?

Q: The hospital has strict rules for birthing a child and only one partner is allowed. My husband refuses to be in with me. Must my mother do the azaan and tahneek or should I delay it for 2 hours after the child is born?

Giving preference to performing salaah with jamaat in the Musjid

Submitted by user2 on Sat, 2022-02-19 08:10

Q: I received a message wherein the following Hadith of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) was mentioned:

Hazrat Anas bin Maalik (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “If food is served and the Iqaamah for salaah is given, then start with the food.”

The question that I wish to ask is that if one is at home and partaking of meals or one is at a function (e.g. waleemah or a braai etc.) and the food is being served, and the jamaat salaah in the musjid is about to commence, then what should a person do? Should one give preference to partaking of the food or should one attend the jamaat salaah in the musjid, as we have understood from this hadith that one should give preference to the food?

Submitted by user5 on Sat, 2022-02-12 09:25

Q: How should salaats missed over several years be performed and discharged in a situation where one has no record of the number of salaats missed and from when?

One also does not know when one had become baaliq, in which case, does missed salaats have to be estimated from the age of 12 or 15?

Giving money to a student to assist him in his studies for the missed fast and salaah of one's father

Submitted by user5 on Thu, 2022-02-10 17:37

Q: Dad was ill in hospital and shortly after he got admitted he passed away. He did not give wasiyat for his missed fast and salaah, so I've taken it upon myself to fulfil some sort of kaffarah (fidyah) on his behalf, and insha'allah Allah will accept.

In terms of spending the kaffarah (fidyah), there is a young baligh male who is from a poor family and needs to sort out his final year of studies in order for him to get his degree/diploma in order to move forward with his life.

Is it possible for me to give him the money or a 3rd party who is currently financially responsible for his payments to pay off his final year of studies?
