Aisha (radhiyallahu anha) said, “Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) wouldn’t go to sleep until he read Az-Zumar and Bani Isra’il. (Collected by At-Tirmithi (3405), Ibn Khuzaymah (1/126/2) Al-Hakim (2/434) Ahmed (2/68 /122) At-Tirmithi graded this hadeeth as being Hasan Ghareeb. And Shaykh Al-Albani said “The men in the isnad are trustworthy [ Silsilahtus Saheehah 641 ]

Q: When sajda-e-sahw is to be done, the procedure is that it will be performed in the last qa'dah, i.e. after tashahhud, one salam to right and then 2 sujood. Sometimes due to carelessness I recite part of durood after tashahhud and then realize that I have to do sajda-e-sahw then what should I do at that moment? Should I proceed to sajda-e-sahw at that moment?

Q: When I was born my mother was mistakenly given a Muslim baby boy (someone's else's child). She fed him once, then fed him again. She realized that she doesn't "like" this baby and called for the nurses. I was born pre mature so I was in the incubator. My father took down their address as he becomes my foster brother and I cannot marry him. We have no contact with him, have never met or seen him. We would like to know if he will now inherit? (since my mother has fed him two full feeds unintentionally) If he does inherit does he inherit from my mother and father?

Q: (I don't know whether I am a hanfi, shafi etc, so please answer accordingly)

The ghusl/ritual bath that we perform to become paak after menses, etc. have three farz/compulsory acts: washing mouth, cleaning nose, and pouring water all over the body. So if we perform ONLY and only these three acts and NOT perform the remaining acts like performing "Wuzu", washing wrists (not the one in wuzu), doing niyyat, etc. will our ghusl be valid and will we become paak?

Also, if I only perform these three acts and that too not in proper order (for example I wash my mouth and nose in the end or any other order), will my ghusl be valid and will my namaz be accepted?

Q: A few questions from a woman:

1. Why are menstruating women not expected to pray? Fast? Touch Quran?

2. Why do we pay back fasts but not salaah?

3. Why do women pray at the back or behind the men in mosques but not so in the harams? More for overseas people cos we go to the masjids here.

Q: Can one send esaal-e-thawaab to Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم? For example, when one recites/listens to Quran, can one send the reward?
