Q: The en-dowers of a waqf property in situated in South Africa are all deceased. Their original intention was that the rental proceeds from the waqf property should be given to a specific madrassa in India. The current trustees have no contact with the responsible individuals in India and as a result the funds are collecting in a bank account in South Africa. A local SA musjid trust has approached these trustees to purchase that waqf property for the purposes of establishing a much needed madarassa.

1)Can the trustees sell this property to the local musjid trust.

2)Can they grant the local musjid trust the use of the property at no charge.

Q: In the Haram Sharif the gates of the masjid are closed early. Many people pray on the marble or in the street. At times there is a large space in between the saffs. Will the salah be valid if there is a large space in between the saffs on the marble or praying in the street? By praying on the marble outside the Haram sharif masjid or in the street, will a person get the 100 thousand reward because the gates of the masjid are closed early?

Q: I am a medical student, and as with many of us, dissection is an area that seems to be unclear. You have clearly stated that dissection should be avoided. Other research on the Internet (which is not always a reliable source) has shown that many fataawa have been passed in favour of dissection, with no clear proofs presented. My heart does not feel peace in this. Please can I have some direction, with clear reference/proofs to/from Quran
and Sunnah, on how I should reconcile my position. I wish to be a doctor some day InshaAllah, but I do not wish to earn Allah's displeasure.

Q: My question is regarding a woman doing bina if she involuntarily breaks her wudhu in Salaah. One of the conditions of bina is that the satr should not become uncovered for bina to be correct. But if the woman goes to redo her wudhu she will uncover her arms and head and ankles etc to do wudhu, so would this still mean the bina is valid?

Q: Is it permissible to buy and wear Nike products? I know that Nike once put the name of Allah on a shoe, but it was unintentional and they apologized. Also, although Nike represents a Greek god, people don’t believe in the god and only buy the shoe for the style. Bearing this in mind, what is the ruling on Nike products?

Q: The general "market" for an ordinary person wishing to sell his jewellery in our times would be to a jeweler or a gold purchaser. The value thus given by them constitutes the market value. The established practice of both these dealers in evaluating an item to be purchased by them is to consider the gold content present in the jewellery only. They ignore any value that may exist due to the workmanship present in that gold or silver jewellery.

Question: Will this value given by the jeweller or gold purchaser (which is based on gold content only) be the market value considered for zakaat purposes?
