Q: If we forget to say dua-e-qanoot in witar what should we do then?

Q: My husband has given me talaaq on bond paper three times. Furthermore he has written, upon saying to his parents that I can remarry after completeing iddat. He was not fulfilling my rights. Now he is saying he was doing all this to put me underpressure. I am feeding his child, is this talaaq valid? Although I love my husband very much I dont want to leave him. 

Q: I want to know a thing that many people say that when anyone dies than his/her soul comes to the home for 40 days and after 40 days he/her will never come home. Is it right or wrong, if yes then tell me how and why?

Q: Taleemul haq states that if any liquids flow out of the body, Wudhu is broken. I did not know about this and I am not sure if I had ever popped a pimple and read my salaah after, but I might have done that. When I pop a pimple pus doesn't flow out but settles on the surface, do I have to make qadah salah?

Q: People in my area follow different imams and they claim that their act is correct and perfect than the other. They also say to me that you follow one imam only, reply to them that I will follow what is there is in Quran and sunnah (hadith-sahih + sanan+ other books-with references) irrespective of following one imam and making sects (as said in Quran" Vo ati ullaha Vo ati ur rasula") and they don't fluctuate w.r.t time as it is followed by prophet in times. Am I correct in this case of following Quran and hadith(also includes imams +sahaba+mufti+fuqaha) or following a single imam?

Q: I was born without a father. He took off before I was born. I only saw him once, I was 16 years old then. No financial whatsoever. My mother raised me alone. They were married but the marriage was annulled when I was 8. We live in the Philippines where Democracy is the law. We are Moslems but because of my father's absence while I was growing up, I was given a surname that is of my mother's. I know its not permissible but I was a kid back then. Now I have my own family. I need to file for my children's correct birth certificate. I ask authority that if its allowed I'd have my husband's name and last name as their middle name and surname respectively. However, our government doesn't allow things like that. I know in Islam it is not permissible to attach the surname of your mother to the names of your children. But our government requires us. Now, my problem is, if I have to attach my surname as their middle name, am I somehow commiting a sin? Using my wrong surname(my mother's last name) as their middle name is a sin already but the fact that it is a wrong surname makes it even more complicated. I cannot just change my surname because of some pertinent documents. If I do, my children might not be able to receive whatever our government has to offer them thru me. Should I just let them use my surname as their middle name since even if I change it to my original surname (my father's), it doesn't make it right in Islam. Allah Ta'ala knows, I tried convincing them, citing that in Islam children are supposed to bear their fathers name and surname but they won't let me. Please help. I am going to send my kids to school but their records are not set right.

Q: I read your answer about women studying in universities. You say its not good? Why? Islam never stopped womens rights. Me and my friends study in university in abaya. We never talk to boys unless its necessary. But you are saying it is bad, it is haram. So that means women should not go to universities? I know many people who bound their women in houses and don't allow them to go for education. I am very sad after reading it. That means women don't have right to go and study if she likes to study and men can do anything? Why? Men can marry the girls too who are not Muslims?

Q: In the month of Ramadhaan, there are many jamaats for Taraaweeh salaah in our area. Taraaweeh salaah is performed in homes, garages, factories, etc.

Certain people do not perform the Esha salaah in the musjid, but rather perform it at the venue where they perform the taraaweeh salaah. As soon as the time of Esha enters, they perform their Esha salaah and then commence their Taraaweeh salaah. In our area, the musjid is close to the venues of these taraaweeh jamaats.

Is it correct for the people to perform their Esha salaah in the taraaweeh venues or should they perform their Esha Salaah in the Musjid and thereafter proceed to their taraaweeh venues?

Q: What is the status of performing salaah on a chair? If a person is unable to sit on the ground, and cannot perform the sajdahs on the ground, can he sit on a chair and perform salaah with gestures? 

Q: A 15-year-old adult girl was misbehaving with her mother. The mother said to her (in Urdu), “Allah Ta'ala is watching you”. The daughter replied in a sarcastic tone (in Urdu), “Well! Allah Ta'ala is watching me! (Urdu: Acha! Allah mian mujhey daikh rahay hain!). Then the mother said (in Urdu): “Allah Ta'ala is listening”. The daughter replied again in a sarcastic tone (in Urdu): “Well! Allah Ta'ala is listening to me! (Urdu: Acha! Allah mian sun rahay hain!). The question is: is the ‘eman of this girl valid after saying these sentences? If the 'eman is invalid after saying these sentences, what is she supposed to do to revive her ‘eman? What about her salats, fardh Hajj, fardh fasting, etc.?
