Q: Me jaha par kaam karta hu, waha par Hindustaani baitul khala nahi he, Maghribi baitul khala he jis par ghusal karne se mera dil nahi maanta he. To agar me us par khare to peshaab kar lu aur phir agar khare to hi napaaki dhow lu ya paper istimaal kar lu to kya ye napaaki ke andar awoonga, ya napaak mana jaunga. Meherbaani karke bataiye aapki bari meherbaani hogi.

Sitting and performing Salaah in a coal mine

Q: I work on a coal mine, where the roof is not high enough to allow one to stand up straight. We work morning shift for a week and night shift the next week. Dhuhr is delayed until returning to surface when working morning shift, however salaah is performed underground when working afternoon shift. As one is required to stand upright, is it required to a) sit and pray (and then repeat the parayer when on surface) or b) stand and pray (even though one stands slightly crouched)?

Performing Salaah in a car

Q: My wife and I do a lot of travelling by car. A lot of times the distances we drive are over 90km. Due to this, sometimes we have to pray on the side of the road or in a parking lot. If my wife prays outside the car like me, there are many people (men and women) who walk and drive by and could see her. In this case, is it permissible for my wife to pray sitting down in the car?
