Q: I would like to know the rulings of haidh for a Shaafi person. Can they touch the Qur'an or read it by memory. Can you please tell me the rulings?

Q: A Muqtadi has recited an even number of Tasbeeh in Ruku or Sajdah. Before he can recite the next Tasbeeh, to make it an odd number, the Imaam makes the Takbeer. Is the Muqtadi permitted to recite one more Tasbeeh (in order to make it an odd number) after the Imaam has said the Takbeer?

Q: Please advise regarding the Azaan:

(1) Should Masnoon Dua's be recited during the Azaan? For example, the Masnoon Dua's for entering the Masjid, when boarding a vehicle, when leaving the home and so forth.

(2) If a person is standing during the Azaan, should he remain standing until the Azaan has been completed before he sits down/performs Salaah?

(3) A person enters the Masjid just before the Muazzin is about to commence the Azaan. Is it correct for him to commence Tahiyatul Masjid or Sunnah Salaah at this point i.e. a few seconds before the Azaan? In this manner, almost his entire Salaah will be performed during the Azaan.

(4) It is often observed that those who arrive early to the Masjid (much before the Azaan and within the Salaah time) only perform their Sunnah Salaah after the Azaan has been given. It gives the impression that they were waiting for the Azaan in order to perform their Salaah. Is this correct?

(5) Should one greet a person with Salaam and shake his hands during the Azaan?

(6) Should one respond to the Salaam of a person during the Azaan?

(7) Can one verbally inform others to keep quiet during the Azaan whilst the Azaan is going?

(8) Should one respond to the Azaan heard over a recording or live streaming audio?

(9) Should one avoid 'answering the call of nature' during the Azaan?

Q: I have heard one is able to join prayer like zuhr and asr when need be. I am a student and I can never get any work done at home so I go to the library. Only the time between the two namazes are like three hours. Is it ok for me to join the two in this case because that gives me so much more time to sit there and get my work done?

Q: I gave my impure clothes to the laundry for washing and asked them to wash and press. I'm now doubting that what if they have not washed and instead dry cleaned it and they misunderstood me though I gave it for washing.

Q: I want to know if I can accept some properties and money left to me by my mom (not yet a Muslim) in her will. I am her only adopted daughter. She has no other children.

Q: How do you make the niyyat and pray the prayer of repentance. I have heard you make wudhu and pray two nafil. But what do you say in the niyyat exactly and is there anything special you say after the namaaz? Also can you make wudu for Esha namaaz, pray the repentance namaaz and then pray isha right after with the same wudhu?

Q: If I have purchased something from an online company and have been told that I have been given a $1 free credit because the item I bought was a selected item for a free credit promotion but I was not aware of any promotion when I bought it. Is this $1 haraam for me and if I can't get rid of it how should I proceed?

Q: I did a terrible terrible thing. I cheated on my husband. I slept with a whatsapp contact of mine twice. I know I did wrong and I am so sorry for what I did, I mean it was a total stranger. My husband is taking this very hard and I know he still loves me and I am thankful for that. What can I do to revive our marriage and make my husband look at me the way he used to before he found out. Will things ever be the same again?

Q: If I made my zuhr and asr salaah qadha while on safar (journey), then on returning home, should I make qadha of four rakaats or two rakaats?
