Q: Consider a home business... Now and then I bake and sell some cakes etc. Please advise on zakaat. I don't have "stock" on hand...I only have ingredients, the product I am selling needs to be "made".
1.Can I pay zakaat from my cash earnings only or do I have to calculate the value of any of my ingredients and pay as well?
2. If I also have to pay on the value of any ingredients, how do I go about it? It will be very hard to calculate as I use these ingredients for my normal household use as well, it is only some of it that is used in the cakes I will sell.

Q: In Aqeedah Tahawiyya by Moulana Faheem it is mentioned:

Q: During my early youth days as a baligh teenager, I was regular with my salah. However, my brother used to make me laugh in my salah after which I knew it broke my salah and I would repeat the salah but not the wudu as I did not know for years that this breaks my wudu. Would I need to make qadah of these prayers ?
Q: Is it permissible to convey salaam to Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) from a non-mahram?

Q: Please clarify for me, with regards to an English copy of the Quraan (translation only, no Arabic) Mufti had replied;
1. There is consensus among leading ulama that the Quraan without the original text is impermissible and not at all correct. The right thing is to not use such a translation which does not have the original Arabic text.
My question is, should I dispose of this copy of the Quraan? Can it be burnt?
2. How do I dispose of Islamic writings and duas that have become yellowed with time?
Q: Does doing an extra sajda-e-sahw affect salaah?
In the last sitting, I recited tashahhud, did sajda-e-sahw, then recited tashahhud, and became unsure if I had done sajda-e-sahw, so I did it again and finished my salaah. Is the prayer valid?
Q: Why is Surah Faatihah called "the mother of the book"? What does it mean?
Q: Can one observe the Shafee madhab when traveling? Especially by plane when the flights are long and one will miss the salaah completely.
