Q: Is it possible in hanafi fiqh to hold ones baby or toddler during salah, if they are upset? When my child is upset it is very difficult to leave him when I pray. Does this depend on whether one knows they have or might have a dirty nappy?
Q: If I combined prayers as I follow the Hanafis during traveling, am I supposed to read them again?
If for the kaffara my father, with his money, feeds people, like many people not only who are needy, is it okay?
Q: A person read salaah on the plane. Due to severe turbulence and short time for asr and the flight crew not allowing him to stand, the asr Salaah was read sitting on the seat not facing qiblah.
I understand that one will have to repeat this salaah standing up afterwards. The time of asr ended and maghrib time came in. The flight now landed.
1. Will the Asr Salaah be regarded as invalid and Qadha have to be read (fardh not done at all), or was it a valid adaa but necessary (waajib) to repeat the salah?
2. If one is saahib e tarteeb and the next salaah comes (e.g. maghrib comes in), will one read the next salaah (maghrib) first, or repeat the salah in question (asr) first?
3. If someone in the family did not have wudhu, and neither had anything to make tayammum with, then performed the Asr Salaah sitting on the seat in that state, will the masla change in both questions 1 and 2?
Q: Some people were reading salah in the main hall and others outside the hall. The microphone got cut half way through, such that the people outside the hall couldn't hear the imaam or see him. There was also no one to call out the takbeer. What is the ruling in this case?
1. Is the salaah valid for those outside despite the mic being off throughout the rest of the salaah?
2. Some people broke their salaah and some carried on. Is their salaah valid?
3. If the mic was to start working again, then can the people outside carry on and catch up to the imaam?
Q: On one occasion I missed Salah in the masjid. In this case I read it at home. I understand this is not ideal however if my father comes to find out about this he claims that I have a shaytaan in me. This is understandably upsetting to me.
1. Is it okay from a Islamic perspective for him to say this to me?
2. If so, what purpose does it serve?
Q:
1. A woman travels unaccompanied from her house to get to her mother's house (25km away) then travels to another area (56km away from her mother's house and about 31km from her house) for a total of 81km on the same day. She passes the locality her house is in on the way without entering it (her house is about 1km from the highway). Has she travelled safr distance?
2. If the total distance to the third area is less than safr distance (for example 60km) and she then travels back to her mother's house and then the total is safr distance, would she be considered to have travelled safr distance?
3. If when leaving her house to go to her mother's house she didn't know she would travel further, would it still count as safr distance?
4. If she is staying at her mother's house for some time, is she allowed to travel distances around her mother's house if it eventually adds up to safr distance? How long would she have to be staying at her mother's house for this to be allowed, if Mufti Sahib can provide a detailed answer on how this works.
Q: If a lady went to the Haramain and she performed some salaah behind the Imaam, will she have to repeat those salaah?
Q: In Mabsoot and Sharhu Mukhtasarul Kharkhy, it comes that qunoot of witr is not a specified dua but it should be as long as Surah Taariq. One Aalim says that if you are in a rush, you can just read rabbana aatina dua, so is this correct? Is it being as long as Suraah Taariq waajib?
Q: If less than a quarter of a limb is exposed during salaah, would the salaah be valid ?
Q: Does doing sajdah sahw even if you're sure your prayer is right invalid salaah?
