Performing fajr Salaah at home if one fears missing the Salaah

9 years ago By admin

Q: For whatever reason which Allah (Ta'ala) knows best I woke up for fajr salaah a bit later than usuall i.e. within permissible time but not enough to make it to the masjid as I felt I could miss the Jamaah and fall within an impermissible tome. I commenced with salaah and performed a short but not hesty salaah with Jamaah at home. I had completed salaah and tasbih* and dua by 04:35am- 20/12/2015-durban. Latest Jamaat commencment time in locality is at 04:25 (Masjid is Al-Hilal)- did my salaah fall within the permissible time and was my decision to perform salaah at home with jamaat at home valid on grounds that I could have missed salaah and permissible time completely had I driven to the masjid. Note that we follow the Shafi'i Madhab so the duration of salaah included dua e qunoot which was incumbent on me as the imam leading salaah.

Imaam involved in wrongs

Q: If any Imaam of a Masjid is involved in backbiting, absent in Fajar, involved in sinful acts and instigating committee to take action against other Khaadims of Masjid. Eating Zakaat money without any eligibilty. Many opportunities were given to him. On a number of occasions Imaam has written in a letter that he would not get involved in backbiting and instigating hatred among the musallees but he still continued.He is playing politics outside the Musjid. He has put misunderstanding between members and musallees. He has made the Musjid as place of business. Whether he can be terminated from his duty as Imaam?
