Q: At what age is salaah fard upon a male kid?
Q: I would like to know if there is any labour law that states that an employee is allowed to take his or her breaks at work when it is Salaah times eg. @1pm for Zuhr then Asr, Maghrib & Esha & for the month of Ramadaan do we as muslims have the right to not work compulsory late shifts in this month in order for us to be able to perform our Tarawih Salaah. I work in a call centre enviroment & our break times are always scheduled to us out of Salaah times & some weeks we have to work late shifts from 11am to 8pm & early from 7am to 4:30pm & we are restricted to take our breaks together. I am always making my salaah past the time. I really feel very depressed when I am at work or at home for this very reason & it really eats on me all the time especially when I have heard so many talks & read many books about one who neglects his or her Salaah & yet I am still continuing to do this very sinful act over & over for so the 6 years that I am working here. Please Mufti saab I would really like you to help me & other muslims at work.
Q: A musafir who is travelling and is not yet at his destination, can he miss his salaah and make it qadhaa?
Q: What is the reward of Salah?
Q: There is a lot of improvement in myself by the grace of Allah Azzawajal and by the dua of ulama-e-kiraam and the Ahlullah. But the problem is that my Salaah gets missed when hard circumstances arises. I know that the commandment of Allah Azzawajal is most high. But I am helpless in this regard. When situations are favorable I offer Salaah in jamaaat. But while travelling or when there is no place 2 offer Salaah I can't fulfil SalaaH. I am extremely worried about that. Yesterday there was a student jamaat in our locality. I benefited a lot from that. But today only I went to a distant place for my vocational training. The musjid is very far from that place. I can't offered Salaah in open space. Kindly make dua for me and show me the path.
Q: I saw the following two hadith:
Our Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi wa-Sallam) said: "Do not forgo Salaah intentionally, lest you should get out of the fold of Islam. Do not perpetrate disobedience to Allah, lest you deserve His Wrath."
Rasulullah (Sallallaahu 'alayhi wa-Sallam) also said: "The dividing line between kufr and Imaan is Salaah." And : "A person who has missed one Salaah is like one who has lost all his family and wealth."
Q: We are taught that at the time of salaah we should close our businesses and proceed to the musjid. What about those businesses that are extremely huge and require a lot of time to clear the customers out e.g. wholesalers, major supermarkets, factories, etc? Is it permissible for these businesses to remain open?
