Q: I would like to find out the ruling regarding ghusl for a deceased who has fake hair and nails. Sometimes it takes close to 3 hours to remove all products because of the glue used or to remove the fake hair by opening all plaits. Should ghusl be delayed.
Q: Is it permissible for a son in law to bury his mother in law who only has daughters?
Q: Is it permissible to reuse a grave of a family member, burying the deceased at 4 feet deep, whereas the original deceased was buried at 6 feet deep? The remains of the first deceased (who passed away 3 years ago) would thus not be exposed.
There is however sufficient space available in the grave yard.
Q: In order for a person's janaazah salaah to be valid, does he have to join the saff, or can he read it individually behind the congregation?
If he stands behind, and there is a large gap in between him and the saffs, will it be valid?
Sometimes, the janaazah salaah takes place in the musjid which I know is not allowed, can I then join from the wudhu khana which will be quite a distance behind the rest of the congregation?
Q: Will the people of the grave know what will be happening on the earth?
Q: If someone makes a bequest that his body should be washed with Zamzam when he is being given ghusl, is this permissible?
Q: If a person is murdered during a hijacking (shot and died immediately), should he be given ghusal or will he not be given ghusal as a shaheed?
Our books say he is a shaheed and should not be given ghusal but in our societies, we normally give him a ghusal. Are we making a mistake?
Q: How should I console a friend whose close friend passed away? Is it fine to say he will go to heaven inshallah? What should I say and do? What about neighbour's whose close one's passed away?
Q: From the Ahaadith and the statements of the Fuqahaa (jurists), it is understood that after burial, sprinkling water on the soil of the grave is Mustahab (recommended) and permissible. The question is:
Will it be considered Mustahab and permissible to sprinkle water merely for the purpose of settling the soil?
If it is the rainy season and there is no fear of the soil scattering, then at such a time, will it still be permissible and Mustahab to sprinkle water with the intention of acting upon the Hadith?
Q: Is it permissible for women to go to the qabrastan with a mahram at quiet times when there's no other men around?
