Q: Is it permissible to have congregational duaa after fardh salaah? The masjid I go to does congregational duaa after salaah but I have heard that this is not a sunnah practice.

Pigeon droppings in the Musjid

Submitted by admin on Sat, 2014-02-22 08:21

Q: I have seen scores of pigeons roosting in many Masjids.  They keep flying around and a lot of their droppings are found on the prayer mat, some dry and some fresh.  I had the opportunity to witness so much droppings continuously being made by the pigeons roosting in Jama Masjid in Delhi during my visit once, when I had gone to offer my Dhuhr Salaah with the Jamaath.

I require the following clarification.

1. Is our Salaah valid if offered at such a place full of pigeons' droppings, dry or fresh?

2. Do we have to clean only the spot of the droppings if they fall on our clothes if we are in a state of Wudhu or do we have to do our Wudhu all over
again?

3. Similarly, I have witnessed the same scenes at many Eidgahs in different cities during my travel, during Eid Salaah, where sheep/goat droppings/cattle dung are found all around dry or fresh, which the people responsible for the maintenance of the Eidgahs neglect to clean. Is our Salaah valid in such places?  

4. What is the Shariah Ruling on these kind of najis?

Repeating a Salaah in which a waajib was left out

Submitted by admin on Wed, 2014-02-19 16:12

Q: In some kitaabs like taalifat rashidiyyah it is written that it is mustahab to repeat the salaah prayed behind a faasiq (the one who trim or shave less than a fist lenght) and in ahsanul fatawa it is writen that if the salaah of a muqtadi become makrooh due to the salaah of imaam become makrooh. What is understood is that it is mustahab for the muqtadi to repeat the salaah prayed behind a faasiq. Please confirm?

Saahib-e-tarteeb remembering at the time of Jumuah that he had missed out his fajr Salaah

Submitted by admin on Wed, 2014-02-19 15:58

Q: A person who is "saahibut tarteeb" was sitting in the jumuah bayaan when he realised that he hadn't performed fajr. He then planned that he will read his qada when everyone is reading their sunnats after the bayaan, before the khutba. However he had a dire need to go to the toilet and only returned when the Imaam was on the mimbar and azaan was called. So he sat for the khutba, read jumuah and performed his fajr qada after the jumuah salaah.

  1. Is what he did correct?
  2. If not, what must he do to rectify his actions?

Making a mistake in attahiyyaat

Submitted by admin on Wed, 2014-02-19 08:48

Q: During tashahhud one says "..as salaamu alayka wa alaa ibaadillaah'is salihin.." instead of "..as salaamu alayna wa alaa ibaadillaah'is salihin..". Does this break salaah if left uncorrected?

Correcting the Imaam in fardh Salaah

Submitted by admin on Sat, 2014-02-15 07:34

Q: Is it permissible to correct the imaam during the qiraat in fardh salaah:

  1. If the imaam makes a mistake which changes the meaning of Quraan?
  2. Imaam jumps to another ayaat and realises this. So the Imaam starts at the beginning of the ayaat and still does not get it right?
  3. Imaam gets stuck during recitation?

​Please explain also in respect to the 3 ayaats being read at this point and also if not?
