Q: Can I combine my prayers? I have a urine condition where if I go to the toilet, then after a few minutes, I feel that there is a drop of urine coming out.
Due to this condition, I try to not go to the toilet in the daytime so that I can perform my prayers, but it is a painful process to suppress your need to relieve yourself.
Can I combine my Zohr and Asr prayers and then perform the Esha prayer with Maghrib?
Q: Please advise on qadha and nafl salaah. I have many qadha salaah to make up and have started performing my qadha salaah after every fardh salaah.
Alhamdulillah, I am also in a habit of waking for tahajud and use this opportunity to make dua and perform qadha salaah too.
I am curious about nafl salaah. Allah advises us to seek His assistance through patience and salaah. With so many outstanding qadha salaah, I feel ashamed to perform nafl salaah imploring Allah's assistance, even though I am in great need of Allah's help.
I have received conflicting advises regarding this. My brother (who is becoming an aalim- 5th year) advised that I should use the hours of tahajud to perform nafl salaah. An aalima that I'm close to, advised that I should payback my qadha as a matter of priority.
What I have been doing since, is using the opportunities where one might perform nafl salaah to perform qadha salaah, for example tahajud, salaatud Duha. And for instance, instead of performing salaatul Hajaat, I'd perform qadha salaah and make the dua of Salaatul Hajaat.
Q: I experience constant doubts in salaat and I am currently combatting this. At the moment, due to work, I have to pray my isha, asr and maghrib when I get home in the evening. When I finish my prayers I doubt whether I have prayed asr for example and that I have maybe accidentally skipped this. I have no recollection that gives me complete certainty that I have prayed it or that I haven’t prayed it. But it can be said that because I have gotten to the end of praying all three prayers, it is likely that I did not miss it and this is just doubt being planted in my head. As I suffer from constant doubts is it permissible to ignore the doubt and deem asr to have been prayed, even if in reality (but unknown to me) my doubt is correct and I did not pray Asr?
Q: I woke up with my alarm fajr time then I saw that there was some time for Fajr salah to end. So I decided to sleep for some time or close my eyes for some time then wakeup and pray Fajr salah but when I closed my eyes I was getting too sleepy so I said to myself and also thought that if I close my eyes or sleep for some time Fajr time will be over but my intention was to pray salah on time. So later I woke up after the time was over...
I was so sad that I woke up after the time finished. This happened for the first time with me and it was never my intention to miss the salah. After waking up after the was time over, I prayed Fajr so is my Fajr valid?
I am so worried. I was sure that if I will sleep I will wake up after Fajr time but my intention was to wake up and pray in time and I slept to get up after some minutes but unfortunately I didn't wake up. I never wanted to miss the salah.
Q: I travel 150 km daily for work. Should I pray qasar or normal?
Q: Can we delay isha after midnight? If not, what is the last time to pray isha?
Q: I am inquiring regarding the prayer of an old woman in her 80s, who forgets daily essentials. For example, she forgets when it is time to eat food or did she already eat or not etc. She forgets her family members, for example if any name of her daughter or grand child is mentioned to her then she would hesitate to say who that person is; family member or stranger. But if she is reminded then she would know the person but again in a minute she would forget completely.
If she hears the Azan being called out then she quickly starts getting ready for salah and performs according to the best of her ability. Then, if she hears another masjid calling azan ~15 minutes later for the same prayer, she prays this salah again because she thinks she hasn’t prayed this salah yet.
Is this woman obliged by shariah to perform her five daily prayers?
Q: Can small children (non baaligh) stand at the end of the adult staff where an adult cannot stand due to musalla being small?
Q: In the final sitting if one says: اللهم صل على محمد وآله وصحبه وسلم, is the prayer valid?
Q: Is it correct that with regards to Salaah of a woman whose haidh ends after reaching her destination (Safr distance) that she should follow her husband and perform Qasr Salaah.
Does this apply to all Mahaarim?
If this is not correct, what is the correct ruling.
