Q: Can we give our zakaat money to our grand father or grand mother?

Q: My elder brother is involved in a relationship with a girl and my parents and family are completely against his views. The girl is divorced and now she is in a relationship with my brother. Girl is 7 years elder to my brother! My brother is completely out of his mind and he even wants to go againt my parents and willing to marry her and planning for nikaah with her! My parents completely tried to convince him but its going to be useless! There is nothing left to convince him now. So in this situation if we take the help of black magic so will it be haraam? Like completely make that girl to forget my brother or completely making my brother to forget her by the help of black magic so will it be haraam? Because in any manner we don't want to commit anything which is haraam! But other than that there is no other way left as we are loosing him. He agrees to go againt my parents and wants to make nikaah with that girl!

Q: I did a Kasam by saying I will not go and stay in our other house because my husband was playing with my mind I did not touch the Quran but said that may the Quran punish me I will not go back but I am thinking of moving to same house as it is bigger it would accommodate my family better is there a kafarah to pay for this or not?

Q:

1) A person thought of a sajdah Ayat in his head without reciting it with his lips. Does sajdah-e-tilaawat become wajib?

2) A person mistakenly made a sajdah-e-tilaawat in salaah at the wrong aayat of Quran. Does sajda-e-sahw become wajib?

Q: I realized that I was reading surah Ikhlas pausing in letter Mim (everywhere where it has sukun in this surah) in last ayats making it as double letter – shadda. Does it change the meaning? If during salah I realize I did it again, do I have to start salahs from the beginning or I have to make sajda-sawh or can proceed without it as normal? Could you please also let me know, is it true that kaza of sunna of fajr cant be made in a fajr time, but has to be made any other time after fajr?

Q: About blood and wounds.

1. If I see blood stopped flowing from a wound can I perform wudu and salah knowing that either during wudu or during salah due to dabbing the wound blood will start flowing again?

2. I guess the same ruling applies to the case when blood wasn’t flowing but was on the top of the wound before salah and wudu?

3. If I don’t put any plaster on top of wound and perform salah, is it ok if blood is dabbed does it invalidate my salah?

4. if I don’t use any plaster and blood dabs my clothes during salah, is my salah valid, I mean is blood in this case najasa? Or salah is valid but clothes to be washed for next salah?

Please kidnly reply to each question, as I don’t use plasters, they have this glue on them which then has to be washed good for next wudu and I try to avoid it, I also don’t have them always around. Napkin is not possible to secure good always, so is it ok not to put anything on a wound and let the blood be dabbed and let the close be dabbed for this salah and wash them for another? What is the ruling here, I honestly don’t understand what breaks wudu, what breaks salah when it comes to blood and wounds? Kindly try to be detailed and precise in answers, because general answers create more questions sometimes.

Q: Sometimes I have these white things on my face, like bubbles with white pus inside. They come for few days and go. What I noticed happening is some of them I see before sleeping and not anymore when I make wudu for fajr.

1. Does it mean they exploded during a night, because obviously then cant dry and fall out as a dry skin during a night and does it mean my pillowcase has to be changed, my face and hair has to be washed, is it all najasa?

2. I think many people can have them in different places of their bodies, back, leg, hips, etc. do we have to check and track their condition all the time to see if we r in najasa or can just forget in shaa Allah? Example I had a pain on my back knowing its from a red spot that can have pus in it, must I stand and check if there is a pus in the middle of a nap to see what is the condition in the morning, should I bath or no if I see no pus in the morning?

3. Does explosion of this pus break wudu?

4. Sometimes this pus inside is not liquid but hard, may be its other kind of spots, I don’t know, but would like to ask if I scratch that hard ball (pus) out of its place, does wudu break?

Q: After fajr I try not to sleep but devote myself to Allah. But what can be done when a woman has haidh? Can she be reading at least translation of Quran? If yes, does she have to be in hijab? I know in hijab is better as respect to Allah, then company of malaikah, but sometimes I want to do it without hijab not to catch attention of my family?

Q: Could you please tell me if there is any mistake in my knowledge?

1. All kind of women discharges break wudu

2. You can make new wudu for new salah even before the time for this salah starts having all kind of discharges currently (usual, cold, infection, unknown) except if after 10 days of haidh you are still bleeding (in this case wudu to be done after salah time starts)

3. If during normal days you have reddish or brownish discharges (as during haidh) you still can make new wudu even before salah time starts as it is not the continuation of ones haidh.

4. If you have a spot of discharge on your clothes, should it be always washed away or depending on the size you can still make salah in these clothes? Could you please explain the size comparing it to something?

5. Does urine drops have the same ruling as in 4?

6. If any kind of najasa is dry and I touched it, do I become napaak and have to wash my hands or clothes if I touched it by clothes? Example, if someone didn’t wash hands after touching urine, hands dried and then this person touched me, do I have to go and wash what he touched? The same for all kind of najasa (discharges, blood, semen, etc) – should we wash our skin or clothes touching them when they are dry?

Q: From your book I understood that before and during first takbeer, a woman must look in front of her and only bend her head to look at sajda after takbeer. I look at a wall in my room because it is in front of me, is it correct? Should the head be bent slightly or doesn’t matter the angle? If starting salah looking at sajda place during first takbeer by mistake, does it break salah, require sajda-sawh or nothing of this?
