Q: While using the internet, I came across the traits of a particular type of person as is usually done in astrology. I read three characteristics as I thought it to be based on research and not astrology. But later I found that there was no source of research given (and it could be based on astrology). Will this affect the validity of my salaah?

Q: Is it a misunderstanding of Islam to refuse to go beyond using pure supplications to Allah in order to overcome a huge problem at hand? Some local imams are prescribing things like taking special baths and drinking certain concoctions in addition to supplications and azkar. These are good and devoted imams. They say that it's okay so long as one is not committing shirk or using something forbidden. But I am not so sure. Moreover, I am someone who naturally believes in and prefers pure supplications, especially Quraanic and Prophetic supplications.
Please I NEED you to confirm the truth on this matter.
