Q: A muslim brother of mine who is becoming an Alim told me that according to Imam Malik, you are allowed to touch the qur'an under some circumstances without wudhu, reciting the qur'an by touching it and looking inside without wudhu, is this true?
Q: I want a detailed explanation in my matter. From past years, in my society there has been a rise in women opening Madrasah related courses in their houses where they teach Qur'an translation to regional language, tafseer, ahaadith etc. but their is no merit set for women to confirm to who wish to teach such courses, they don't acquire approval before starting teaching from a recognised Aalim. Any lady who does the translation once begins to teach. I don't see any women tutor around having a sound knowledge of the Qur'an that they teach and so whatever they have learned from a local madarasa is what they dictate to others. There is no merit level set for their worldly education and also their religious education (apart form having done a translation themselves once) and such madarasa are continuously rising in number. They don't follow a single translation but every madarasa teaches a different translation from among those made available to them by their teachers. Moreover, their is no merit set for students to confirm to who wish to begin learning translation, young girls aged below 10 are learning translation whether they go to school or not and they are quite in number. I just want to know is their any merit in real for a teacher to approve to before beginning teaching and a student to approve to before joining learning?
Q: I had a question regarding whether or not one is allowed to read the Qur'an through his phone without wudu? I have the PDF version of the Qur'an on my laptop and I wanted to read it in school. I don't have wudhu all the time so is it possible if I can read the Qur'an through my laptop or phone without wudhu, or is compulsory to have wudhu?
Q: If one cannot read Arabic, can one read the English Qur'an?
Q: My question is very basic and very few of us would have actually noticed it. Although we Muslims recite it most frequently. Firstly every verse of the holy Qur'an starts with bismillah, meaning "In the name of Allah". Secondly we all consider the Qur'an to be preserved in its original form and not a single word has been added or deleted by Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam). Thirdly we all know that the source of the Qur'an is Allah Ta'ala himself. My question is why Allah would start the Qur'an saying "In the name of Allah" if Allah himself has revealed the Qur'an. Every verse of the Quran must have started as "in my name" and not as "in the name of Allah". Can it be possible that Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) himself added bismillah keeping in view the first aayah "iqra"?
Q: People recite the Qur'an from the phone and watch YouTube or movie on the same phone. So is it right to download the Qur'an on the mobile phone?
Q: Can you recite the Qur'an from memory or listen to the Qur'an while you are doing some work or playing? Can you listen to the Qur'an while you are driving or cleaning?
Q: What is the ruling for reciting those verses of the Qur'an which have no harkat at the very first hurf? E.g verse no.5 of surah al ma'oon. What is the ruling to start reciting this ayat with 'zabar' on alif if we stop at the previous ayat? Likewise we start some ayaats with 'zair' harkat on the first hurf if we don't find any harkat at the first hurf. e.g verse no. 28 of surah al'fajr'.
Q: Can a person do all fourteen Sajdahs together after finishing the whole Holy Quran?
Q: Is the name Abul Aswad Ad dua'ali spelled correctly? I am asking if it is spelled correctly because there are diffrent spellings in diffrent books.
One book says Abul Aswad Ad du'ali
Another book says Abdul Aswad ad Duiely
In another place of the same book it is spelt as Abu Al-Aswad ad Du'ali
It is confusing me that is it the same person.
