Walaikam asalaam
It is not a legal requirement to be in a state of ritual purity when engaging in the remembrance of Allah or other spiritual works (such as reading Islamic literature or singing devotional poetry). However, it is praiseworthy to do so. Allah(swt) knows best.

Walaikumassalam wa rahmatullah,
Unfortunately we do not have a charity collection box for clothing at moment. It is Inshallah something the trust is looking to provide in the future. We regularly collect clothes at the mosque and an announcement is made during Jumma prayers when this is the case and sacks are distributed for this purpose.

Assalamualaikum. How does one perform the kazaa namaz And when should one perform this Jazakullah Khair
10/01/2010
Shazad
|
| Answer: |
Walaikumassalam wa rahmatullah,
Firstly calculate the number of missed prayers you have, say for example you have missed 3 years of prayers, we agree there are 365 days in a year multiply this by 3 and you get 1095 days of missed prayers in total, with 5 daily prayers over 1095 days it comes up to a total of 5475 missed prayers, if you pray an extra 5 prayers a day, you can make this up in under 3 years inshallah.
So when you pray your fajar prayer, for example, make an extra fajar prayer. When you pray dhuhr, make an extra dhuhr prayer as a makeup. Each extra prayer can be read immediately before or after the normal prayer, for the missed prayer you only read the fardh and the wittur, you do not read the sunnah or nufful prayers.
Alhamdulillah, it is commendable that you want to make up these prayers. I pray that Allah (swt) increases your himma (spiritual resolve) to fulfil this fundamental obligation. It is obligatory on every muslim to pray their salah, so please be in the position so that on the day of judgement when you face your creator you can account for each and every prayer within your lifetime.
"The first matter that the slave will be brought to account for on the Day of Judgment is the prayer. If it is sound, then the rest of his deeds will be sound. And if it is bad, then the rest of his deeds will be bad." (sahih)

| Question: |
salaam I have read ur previous comments regarding eid namaz and whether it is compulsory . my question is if ur not in area were there are few or no muslims at all to pray in congregation and noone can offer the speech then what will be done then. if it is fard then sure we should be able to pray on our own like the 5 daily prayers are fard and therefre you can read them seperatly. As you can see it is quite a confusing matter but i have also read in many hadiths that it is not a compulsory prayer and that it is a sunnat. also if u don''t pray ur 5 time a day salat y do u make an intent to read an optional namaz and not an intent to read fard namaz.

| Answer: |
Walaikumassalam wa rahmatullah,
As I said in my previous answer according to the Hanafi Mahdab Eid Namaz is Wajib and therefore compulsory. It must me offered in congregation with Khutbah. If you are the only muslim in the area and there is no muslim population nearby then obviously one cannot offer Eid Namaz. If there are number of muslims in the area then one person amongst them must be selected to lead the prayer. He can make an effort to learn the Khutbah by heart, if he is unable to do this then there is no harm in reading it aloud from a book. There are many books available which contain Khutbahs, If you are unable to find some please contact me and I will be able to provide you with Khutbahs which you will be able to read amongst your congregation.

what time does isha end if it started at six o''clock and is maghrib valid until isha
23/12/2009
anon
|
| Answer: |
Asalam Alaikum,
In theory it is permissible to read Isha prayer right up until Sub-e-Sadiq (true dawn) however it is desirable to perform it before the middle of the night.
The time of Maghrib salah is very short, according to some scholars it is the time after sunset that it takes for you to perform your 3 fard. Maghrib should be performed as soon as possible and should not be delayed without good reason although your prayer will be considered valid if you perform it up until the time of Isha begins. .

21/12/2009
annon
|
| Answer: |
Walaikumassalam wa rahmatullah
Oral sex between a husband and wife is considered as Makruh Tahrimi by the jurists, since there is strong possibility that by ejaculation, Mazi (semen) comes out and enters the mouth of the partner. There is consensus amongst the Fuqahaa that Mazi is Najis (impure) It is for this reason that many scholars do not recommend this practice and consider it makrooh.

Asalam Alaikum
Imam Bukhari has recorded the following hadith in his Sahih on the authority of Syeda A'isha:
"I stuffed for the Prophet (pbuh) a pillow decorated with pictures (of animals) which looked like a Namruqa (i.e. a small cushion). He came and stood among the people with excitement apparent on his face. I said, "O Allah's Apostle! What is wrong?" He said, "What is this pillow?" I said, "I have prepared this pillow for you, so that you may recline on it." He said, "Don't you know that angels do not enter a house wherein there are pictures; and whoever makes a picture will be punished on the Day of Resurrection and will be asked to give life to (what he has created)?"
We should therefore refrain from making and displaying pictures of living things like humans and animals. It is permissible to paint/draw pictures of inanimate objects like items of food, trees etc.

If somebody converts to Islam just for the sake of getting married is this allowed

| Answer: |
Asalam Alaikum,
Imam Bukhari quotes a hadith in his Sahih Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab(RA):
Allah's Apostle said, "The reward of deeds depends upon the intention and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for Allah and His Apostle, then his emigration was for Allah and His Apostle. And whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration was for what he emigrated for."
(Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 2, Number 51)
Accepting Islam will only have a benefit for the person if they have the correct Niyyah (intention). Islam is a way of life. It is a matter of faith and conviction. In order to become a Muslim, it is necessary to accept all its basic teachings with one's heart and soul. If one's real purpose is only to marry a Muslim they cannot be a Muslim in reality. One should study Islamic beliefs and teachings and if they is convinced that they are worth accepting, they should accept Islam for its inherent rightfulness and its intrinsic merits, and not only because they want to marry a Muslim.

Sallam What is Shirk
14/12/2009
annon
|
| Answer: |
Walaikumassalam wa rahmatullah,
Put in the simplest terms Shirk means assigning partners with Allah (swt).
It can mean to:
· Worship others along with Allah,
· To give Allah the attributes of his creation or to give created beings Allah’s attributes in their absolute meaning,
· To believe that others share Allah’s control and rule over the creation.
The Qur’an states in Surah Al- Ikhlas (Chapter 112)
Say: He is Allah, the One and Only!
Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;
He begetteth not nor is He begotten.
And there is none like unto Him.
