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?
Q: I had an impurity on my hand and it dried. I meant to wash it but I forgot and then I washed a pot (with my hand), heated up something in it and drank it. Is this pot (and what I drank) pure? I washed it under running water. Do I have to worry about the other dishes in the sink being impure since I washed the pot over these dishes (the water I was washing with ran all over them), or can I just assume they are pure?
Q: It is a general rule in most present day hotels that visitors booked in are not allowed to use a stove or any such appliance in the bag which may be a cause of a fire. Despite the above condition, a person still uses the appliance without it being detected by the hotel, will this be incorrect and be regarded as khiyaanat (deception)?
Q: I was feeling that I might have got discharge. I did not see because most of the time I have this feeling. Later when I checked (after 1 or 2 hours) I saw blood on my clothes.
1. When should I start counting my haidh days; the time I saw the blood or when I felt the discharge (I am not sure whether I had really got the discharge and it could have been white or red also)?
Q: Who was Danyaal (alaihis salaam), and was he a prophet?
Q:
1. If a woman looks at the private parts of a man without lust, does it establish hurmat-e-musaaharat?
2. A woman looks at the private part of a man in a picture or an image and feels lust, but she does not know whose private part this is. She does not know with whom she has established hurmat-e-musaaharat. Now if she is about to marry a man, should she doubt that those private parts may be of her future father in law and the groom is haram for her to marry. As she does not know with whom she has established hurmat-e-musaharat, what should she do?
Q:
1. What is the minimum duration for sujood, qaumah and ruku without which salah will be invalid?
2. If one says Subhana Rabbiyal Azeem and Subhana Rabbiyal Aala once only due to time constraints and if leading salah says Sami Allahu liman Hamidah and goes to sujood, would it suffice for salah to be valid or one has to wait for muqtadees to say Rabbana lakal Hamd?
3. If while leading salah, and in ruku the imam feels by the sounds of steps or running to catch the rakat, is it permisible for the imam to prolong ruku to allow them to catch the rakat?
Q:
1. If one finds his garment stained with blood, would he need to repeat his salah performed while wearing that garment? (bleeding due to shaving unneeded hairs and ghusl performed after that). Would his wudu be broken due to bleeding and will the clothes be considered napak? The stain was less thn an inch in all dimensions.
2. If the salaah needs to be repeated, would only the Fard salah be repeated or sunan and nawafil as well?
Q:
1. If the asr time starts at 3.57 and sun sets is at 5.32, what is the mustahab time to perform asr and when does the makrooh time start?
2. If fajr starts at 5.25 and magrib starts at 5.34 what is the mustahab time to pray esha?
3. My salah app shows that sehri or tahajjud time ends at 5.16 and fajr starts at 5.25, Can I pray tahajjud between this time?
