Q: I wanted to know what is the earliest duration between exactly sunset and esha (1h15 minutes or 1h 20 minutes)? The reason for asking this question is that there is a site called islamic finder that has salaah times which seems to be very accurate and wanted to use it.
Q: Recently at a Jumu’ah salaah, the Imaam read Surah 110 Al-Nasr in the first Rakaat and then Surah 109 Al-Kafirun in the second rakaat. We have always been taught to read in ascending order, i.e. 109, 110, 111, 112 etc. The Imaam was a guest Shafee Imaam in a largely Hanafee congregation.
Q: What do the respected Ulema say regarding the following issue?
Q: In Bahishti Zewar it states:
6. On completing the salaat, both the hands should be raised up to the chest and dua to Allah Ta'ala should be made for oneself. And if he is an imam, he should make dua for all those following him as well. On completing the dua, both hands should be passed over the face. The muqtadis could make their individual duas or, if they can hear the dua of the imam, they could say aameen to it.
Q: When I reached masjid for tarawih, four rakath already finished, then I prayed first four rakath Isha and started for tarawih. When I started to pray for tarawih seven rakath is going on, after finishing tarawih by imam, still I need perform 6 rakath tarawih. In this situation what I need to do, whether I need to pray witr salaa to follow by imam with jamat first and then need to perform balance six rakath tarawih, or first I need to perform balance six rakath tarawih and perform witr salaah alone?
Q: Whilst at a Musjid in Pietermaritzburg recently, I read on the board the following Hadith: “Do not stand until you see me in front of you.” Does this refer to Musallees not standing before the Imam is on his Mussallah?
Q: Will Janaazah salaah be performed for a person who has committed suicide? Will the person who has committed suicide be buried in a Muslim cemetery?
Q: I read a response to the question on the punishment for a person committing suicide. However, my questions are:
Q: What's the link between laylat ul qadr and our taqdeer? i.e.: on the one hand, the pen's ink is already dried, and on the other hand, laylat ul qadr means the night of destiny. So would that mean that each year when laylat ul qadr happens, Allah can change our taqdeer?
Q: I need to confirm the rules pertaining to the reading of sunnat and nafil Salaah, etc. whilst an individual is a traveller and also while a person is visiting Mecca and Medina for 10 days each. Is there anything wrong if these additional Salaahs is performed whilst being classified as a traveller?
