Q: I have some questions about fasting. Could you please answer them when you have time Insha Allah?

1. During Ramadan, is it enough to make intention to fast for the whole month or it must be done for every day?

2. If it must be done for each day, when must be the intention done? Please don’t use difficult words that I won’t understand, could you please say from magrib till fajr, etc, as I find it difficult to understand the explanation other alims gave on some sites I read. Could you please give time frame for intentions for Ramadan, for kazas of Ramadan, for fasting 3 days of breaking an oath and for nafila fasting every Monday, Thursday and 13, 14, 15 of each month – is the time frame of intentions the same for all these fastings?

3. What if one forgot to make intention during the prescribed time, what must he do, fast anyway and then make kaza, kafara etc?

4. What if one is fasting his Ramadan kazas after the next Ramadan is finished only, what is the time frame for the intentions then, the same as normal Ramadan kazas?

5. What if I fasted one (or more) day and then realized my ghusl (I speak only of ghusl after menstruation, not after wet dream, etc) wasn’t correct, is my fast still valid in shaa Allah?

6. If I miscounted end of my period and made ghusl too early, but started fasting after day 10 of period (as max can be 10 days) is my fast still valid or not in shaa Allah?

7. if it is not allowed to insert cotton balls inside during fast when I have discharges, does it mean I have to be checking with a mirror every time if they are there and find that moment when they stop for a while or the best would be just make salah close to the end of its time even if then discharges are flowing?

Q: A butchery will be opening tomorrow which is totally run and supervised by a well known reputable Muslim man. He oversees the buying of products, manufacturing and running of the complete shop from A_Zand is willing to be open to discuss with any person concern with regards to halaal. However the shop is purchased and owned by a non muslim who only manages the finance of the business and has an existed butchery. He does no buying nor is he involved in the manufacturing process of the business nor there is any contamination. The business has brand new machinery and delivery vehicles. Is it correct for people to say not to buy from this butchery and make posters displaying without any proof nor evidence or facts? Is this not tarnishing the reputation of our muslim brother without even proof? Please advise.

Q: While searching for a few Islamic questions I had I ran into the following "Islamic" website: http://islam.stackexchange.com/ Where people can post question and answers. A few information in regards to this website:

- This website is owned by the StackExchange network, whose CEO (and founder) is Joel Spolsky.

- He is An Israeli/American Jew who is openly Homosexual (Gay): http://stackexchange.com/about/management https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Spolsky

- Anyone can give fatwa on the website, registration is free and you can add any answer you like even if it goes against the teachings of Islam.

- Website is Pro Gay, even in the answering of Questions in that regards.

The above wouldn't really be an issue to me, however, the website tend to spread too much false information like:

It is ok to be a homosexual as long as you don't practice it: http://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/25595/is-bisexuality-allowed-i…

Sexual acts that aren't penetration are not zina: http://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/28927/is-this-zina-will-allah-…

Hijab is not mandatory: http://islam.stackexchange.com/a/10746

Music is Halal: http://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/237/music-in-islam/26369#26369

The list goes on an on. I think this website was made to deter Muslims from the true message of Islam, however, I am not sure how I can spread the word
about it if I am right. My question is:

If this website is indeed bad. What is the job of websites (like yourself) of dissipating such propaganda and alerting Muslims to be beware of such website (which is the first of its kind).

Q: Is it okay to offer Asr Salaah in Shaafi'ee time rather than Hanafi time? (I am a hanafi)

Q: I read here that wudu must be done in a way that water flows on the parts of the body we wash. I make my wudu in the toilet that is used by non-Muslims that have incontinence and use pieces of clothing to secure their underwear from urine. They use these clothes in a mutual sink. Before wudu I wash toilet sit, try to wash floor every time I see strange drops there, but I don’t wash think, I hope when they wash those clothes, the contamination of urine that occurs is then being washed away with water. However I still doubt that sink, but cant spend so much time every time to wash it too, what I do is, I use a dipper for my wudu. I put a hand inside and then lift it up with some water in my arms, let that water flor on my hand till elbow, this doesn’t happen till the elbow as water isn’t enough and I just help with another hand, I take some water and kind of wipe my hands with it. I try not to splash too much water on a sink to avoid drops on my clothes. Is it ok in shaa Allah?
