Q: Whilst the impermissibility of picture-making is known, whether it be digital or not, what is the ruling on looking at such pictures which are not of a haraam nature, for example looking at the picture of a man or a dog, etc. Many a times a person doesn't create pictures himself, but e-mails, etc are forwarded to him with pictures, if he looks at it, is it Haraam/Makrooh/Khilaaf-e-Awlaa or nothing wrong with looking?

Q:

1. If I felt like a drop of urine came out during salaah but I was not certain, after salaah I saw that a drop came out I do not know if it was during salaah. Is my salaah valid?
2. I was also not certain if it came onto my clothes and regarded it as pure. Is this correct?

Q: Recently board of imam in Melbourne- Victoria has decided to pray salatul isha before the due time on the basis of convenience for musallis. Not all mosques are doing this. As far as I know two of my neighborhood mosques have started this practice. Like in my closest mosque, Imam saheb has started to pray Salatul Isha on 10:15 PM whereas according to calendar due time for Salatul Isha is 10:33 PM. We pray Salatul Fajar at 4:45 AM. I believe board of IMAMs has decided solely on the basis of convenience so that musallis can have good rest and can come to Fajar prayer in the morning as the night is short during summer times.

As a hanafi follower if I pray with the Jamat at the earlier time, would my salat be acceptable? If not should I stop going to the mosque and pray at home/garage or go to another place to pray?

Q: Recently in Fort Wayne Indiana during the Salatul Janaza of a brother the woman wanted to pray along but the Imam who is Hanfai and another Shiekah who is Maliki told them that the sisters do not need to pray the Janaza and its for men only. I'm form Pakistan and this what I saw all my life that only men did the Janaza.

Please give the correct ruling on this issue.

Q: A book stated:

We find that many books on salat state the ending time of the Zuhr prayer and the starting time of the Asr prayer when the shadow of something is twice itself especially the books which are written by the followers of the Hanafi school of thought.

But this contradicts the above hadith as on the first day Jibreel asked Prophet Muhammad (s) to pray Asr when the shadow of everything was equal to itself. This means that was the end time of Zuhr prayer. And we already know that all the ulamas of the Muslim Ummah agree unanimously that no prayer can be offered before its time.

Imam Abu Hanifa (Rahmatullah Alai) is reported to have changed his opinion before he passed away, and prayed his Asr prayer according to the time stated in this hadith. His two students, Imam Abu Yusuf and Imam Muhammad, used to give Fatwas for the time of Asr prayer according to this hadith, too.

(Fatawa Azeeziah, Fatawa Rasheediah)

Q: If a person starts reading the four rakat sunnah before the jumaah khutba azan, and azan begins, what do i do? Make it 2 rakats, or read all four rakats? If I start my sunnah before the azan of the khutba, and know that I can finish the full four rakats before the azan ends, can I perform the four rakats?

Q: If the second azan of jumah, the khutba azan is given, is there a need to say the dua after azan? Does the imam need to make this dua? Do the followers need to make this dua? Can the imam make this dua? Can the follower make this dua? What is the position of this dua? 

Q: Can you give the proof and hadith in which the prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) prayed four rakaats sunnah at once. Someone is saying that the prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) prayed them 2 then 2 so can you give the hadith and its strength?

Q: If some one laughs in salaah in a voice thats not audible (whispering voice) and is praying alone will wuzu break if it was loud enough for some one else to here but the voice isnt audible will wudhu break?
