Q: I was in the car and going towards the mosque and it was me and the driver in the car. We were getting late for prayer in the mosque and got stuck in a alley in the car. To the best of memory I got out and asked the driver that just park towards the side of this alley and come as namaz is getting late. He said no no the car will get scratched. I made it to the mosque Alhumdullilah and got 1 rakah of prayer and prayed that he also makes it. Afterwards I found out that he missed the prayer and prayed alone in the mosque. Have I done someting bad or a sin?

Q: Here in our area, when someone dies people do khatams like reading various zikrs like Subhan Allah for 1 lac times etc. so that the deceased might get sawab. Is there any Islamic basis for it? Also does the deceased really get sawab from this if his own children are doing these adhkars?

Q: I read a hadith that, the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: “Whoever misses the Asr prayer, then it is as if he has been robbed of his family and his wealth.” (Al-Bukhari 552).

And... In another narration by Al-Bukhari and others: “Whoever abandons the ‘Asr prayer, his deeds of worship become void.”

I am 23 years old and a practicing Muslim since I was a kid. Recently I missed my Asr Salah. I didn't sleep all day/night, So I was very tired. During the afternoon time slept and missed Asr salah though I was aware that it was Asr time. I kept delaying the time and eventually missed it. Now I am scared if all of my deeds have been void. I prayed the Qada' Salah.

But there is also a hadith that says, Anas reported that the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, "Whoever forgets a prayer should pray it when he remembers it, and there is no expiation (kaffarah) for it save that." Related by al-Bukhari and Muslim.

And... The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: “The Pen has been lifted from three: from the sleeper until he awakens, from the child until he reaches puberty and from the insane person until he comes to his senses -- or until he comes round.” Narrated by Abu Dawood (4403), al-Nasaa’i (3432) and Ibn Maajah (2041). Classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.

So, is all my deeds/prayers/amals has been invalid or not? I am confused.

Q: If I read Quran without wudu but touching the Quran with a cloth around it, is it a sin?
