Q: My question is about the speed of the recitation of the Qur'an during tarawih.

The accent is put on reciting the required amount of verses per night, but it seems nobody cares about  tajweed. In fact for some Asian people, the quickest you recite, the more great you are. That makes asians qurra' and 'ulama look terrible in front of arab scholars, who might not recite the whole qur'an but their recitations are alright.

With Ramadhan coming in summer season and with short nights, these recitations will become the norm. And finally there exists this trend of reciting the Qur'an in one night, where tajwid rules are literally butchered, some 'ulama say it is haram to do so, what do you say on this?

Q: If we are short in time when praying salat, instead of reading the whole "Allahumma salli `ala muhammadin wa.." in Durood, can we suffice with just "Salla allahu alayhi wa sallam", will the sunna be fulfilled by this? Also, is it ok to just mention the Prophet as a pronoun or should he be mentioned by name i.e. "Salla allahu ala Muhammedin wa sallam"?

Q: Please can you advise me with regards to whether when urine falls on my skin and I wipe my skin and ensure it is dry. If I subsequently perspire does my clothes as well as all the places I sit on (bed, chair etc) become napaak and do I have to clean these surfaces by wiping them thrice?

Q: Is it good or bad to cut one of the fingers through surgery if your daughter had six fingers?

Q: To possess a car in the place where I stay is a luxury simply because of the public transport (taxis and buses) been so well established. Nevertheless, it makes life much easier to possess a car because taxis are expensive and buses takes abit longer.

Q: Is it more rewarding to perform Salaah in a Musjid or a Jamaat Khaana?

Q: In a book I acquired in 1978 called kitaab-us salaah printed by the young men's Muslim association which has been my guide ever since. I have now recently discovered the performance of Salaatul lail which is not mentioned in this book nor have I performed it previously. Can Mufti please throw some light on this.

Q: If a woman marries a man simply to use him by taking his money and then divorcing him, how would Allah judge this on the day of judgement?
