Question	Assalamu Alaikum, Sir, some children come to me to learn QUR'AN. Can I take money from them because they are connected to well to do families. What my parents think is that it is not a bad thing to request money from them. But I have a firm Eemaan ALHAMDULILLAH and I wish to do only what ALLAH likes. Please reply to this early. Jazakallah
Answer	Teaching Qur'an, giving Azan, doing Imamath and any such Ibadath upon which the constancy of the Deen is based, have been considered permissible by Ulemas to do on wages since the purpose is, spreading of Deen and the safety of Deen. Therefore it is permissible for the applicant to take wages and teach. However, If he can have some other way of income and render the said service without taking wages, it would be so much better.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum! I want to know that, very often we do Qur'an Khawani (get together and recite Qur'an ) and serve meals like Biriyani etc. for refreshment. So, is this a correct practice?
Answer	Let it be known that recitation of The Qur’an is one of the most important Ibadath and is a source of gaining more rewards and Sawab. Shari’a has not prescribed any particular system for it but reciting according to the conditions and etiquettes laid down, is rewardable. However, the peculiar practice which people have created in the common society during the present era, of reciting Qur’an collectively for the Eesal e Sawab of the deceased and Khatme e Qur’an and meals and refreshment following it, is not established in the three golden ages (Quroon e Salasa) which were famous for all their virtues and excellences. Therefore it is an innovation (Bid’ath). In addition to it being a Bid’ath there are many more wrong things such as: Friends and relatives mostly attend to escape from accusations and their purpose does not remain Eesal e Sawab. If a friend or a relative stays back at home and recites the complete Qur’an and makes Eesal e Sawab, yet, the members of the deceased family are not satisfied. Even if they are satisfied, still the complaint of non-attendance remains same whereas one who comes to them and stays for a while and makes some excuse and leaves, is saved from the complaints. The deed which is done with such intentions bears no Sawab and when the reciter himself is deprived of Sawab then what can he bestow for the deceased? As regards participation of the poor and needy people, most of the participants attend in anticpation of receiving something or the other and if they come to know beforehand that they would get nothing and would have to keep on only reciting then no one would attend at all. From this it is understood that their participation itself is only to gain something. When their recitation itself is for worldly gains then from where would they get Sawab for it and what would they bestow to the deceased? Similarly in such occasions inter-mingling of opposite sex which is not permissible too do occur and therefore it is incumbent to refrain from such Innovations and ill-practices. However it is permissible if the households of the deceased themselves recite Qur’an Shareef or other relatives too recite in their respective places without realizing that it is necessary to gather at one place in an appointed time. Therefore an Amal of high caliber like recitation of Qur’an Kareem should be made free from Innovations and ill-practices and done with sincerity in intention even though recited less.

Question	Is it Ja'iz to have the Qur'an Khanis of nowadays?
Answer	Undoubtedly it is permissible to have Qur’an Khwani for the purpose of Sawab and Barakath whereas the prevalent Qur’an Khwani with the purpose of bestowing Sawab on dead is accused of having unwanted peculiarities and Shari’ evils, hence impermissible and falls in the category of Bid’ath (Innovation), abstaining from which is incumbent.

Subject	ABLUTION
Question	Assalamu Alaikum! 1. The condition to touch the Qur'an is to remain under ablution or to be Paak (to be in the state of purity)? 2. Aayath of Qur'an is found in various papers, litrature and books. Are they too fall in the catagory of Qur'an? 3. What should be done with those Urdu Papers after reading, in which religious matters and Ahadees etc. are found? It is said that they should be put in rivers, lakes etc. or should be burnt. Request you to please guide us.
Answer	1. It is a condition to be with ablution and remain in the state of purity to touch the Qur’an Shareef. It is Makrooh e Thahreemi to touch the Qur’an Shareef without having ablution and in a state of impurity 2,3. If an Ayath of Qur’an Shareef or a portion of Hadees is found written on a Newspaper or a literature it should be respected just as it is necessary to respect in the case of Qur’an Shareef and Books of Ahadees . All such papers where Qur’an Ayath , Ahadees or the blessed name of Allah is written should be collected and bury in such a place where there is no fear of being disrespected or people moving over it. If it is impossible then arrangements should be made to cause it to drown on a river etc. Allah knows best. Kaleemullah. Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria 2 Muharram 1431

Answer	Listening to the recitation of Qur'an of course is not a sin. According to Shari'a it is correct and is a source of great reward indeed. However, it is not correct to listen to Qur’an recitations or any other programs (in TV) since TV is an instrument of Evil, and apart from the appearance of the image of reciter there are quite a few vices which are indispensable. Therefore it is incumbent to refrain from purchasing TV, keeping it in the house and viewing it. Allah knows best Kaleemullah Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria 10 Muharram 1431

Question	Respected Sir, A person in my office has made plastic coating on Ayathul Kursi and affixed it by tape and the Monitor is kept before it. He keeps the marker, or paper or some other thing over it. When I stopped him doing so, he said that it made no difference and nor was it an act of dishonour. I removed the plastic coating from his table and he found fault with it and again re-affixed. What.... is his action correct?
Answer	If it is kept for blessings and virtues, then it should be hanged in front instead of keeping it down so that there would not be any disrespect for Aayaath of Qur’an and the purpose too would be served. It is necessary to abstain from keeping it according to the aforesaid manner . Allah knows best. Muhammad Asadullah Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria 18 Sha’ban 1430

Answer	Although the Sawab of reciting Qur’an e Kareem in the state of (Wudhu) ablution is more, yet it is permissible to recite Qur’an e Kareem even without having ablution (without touching it) and would not be void of Sawab whereas it is not permissible to recite it in a state of impure (Janabath) and should avoid it. However, in such a state it is permissible to listen only. Allah knows best. Fakhrul Islam, Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria 6 Jamadis Saani 1430

Subject	Mehfil-e-qirat
Question	Assalamu Alaikum Mufthi Sahib, In the program of Mehfal e Husne Qirath conducted by your Jamia Binoria, loud speakers are used in full volume throughout the night due to which, taking rest has become impossible for those who stay in the nearby colonies. And the sin of not listen to Quran will befall upon those who are busy with their activities. And by taking care of the night of 12 Rabee ul Awwal it becomes a proof for the Bid'athi people. And "YA RAHMATAL-LIL-ALAMEEN" is too written on the banners. Due to all these and many more ill effects it is difficult to understand the Shar'i standard of this Mehfil. Are all these things permissible? If the Madaris of Deoband Sect too do such things then what not would the average people do? Please send reply and be blessed by Allah
Answer	The objections of the questioner is no doubt , worth consideration, and the organizers of the Mehfel too would be informed about it. As a matter of fact, effort too would be made to clear such ill effects in future programs. However, spending just few hours from one full year to listen to the recitation of Qur’an, and the purpose is only the pleasure of Allah Tha’ala, then there is no harm according to the Shari’a but it is benefit over benefit in toto.

Question	AOA. Please provide Fatwa about the people who deny Hadith as an authentic source for Islamic Law and Belief. Also please provide Fatwa about Ghulam Ahmed Pervez. Please suggest any good Urdu or English books on this topic or any internet articles/links. Jazakallah.
Answer	Let it be known that according to the unanimous opinion of the Ummath e Muslima, the confident source after Qur’an e Kareem in constructing Islamic Law and Shar’i Rulings is Ahadees e Mubaraka, and, on the contrary, as a matter of fact, Qur’an e Kareem can neither be explained as it is actually is, and nor is it possible to practise accordingly without the help of Ahadees e Mubaraka. In other words, refutation of Ahadees in fact is refutation of Qur’an e Kareem itself which is manifest misguidance and going astray. As for Ghulam Ahmed Pervez and his followers, they refute Ahadees from one side and on the other side they present incorrect explanations and wrong elucidations on most of the injunctions of Qur’an Shareef such as Namaz, Saum, Haj etc. etc., in such a way that falls in the category of distorting Qur’an Shareef. Therefore, Ghulam Ahmed Pervez and his followers are out of the fold of Islam due to their incorrect doctrines and perceptions. Following books could be of assistance in this subject.

He did translation of many Ayaath directly against the Hadees Shareef. My question is whether he is an Alim and should listen to him? Please explain in detail about his background and answer my question soon. Shukran...
Answer	According to our knowledge, Dr. Israr Ahmad is neither an authenticated Deeni Aalim nor a graduate of a religious institute, but, a free-thinking, genuine, favoured follower of Maudoodi Sahib. Therefore, it is incumbent to refrain from having contacts with him in relation to solutions of Shar’i matters, practicing according to what he says without referring and getting clarification from other Deeni Ulemas and following his opinions with regard to matters pertaining to Thafseer.

Question	1- Can a woman "hifz" quran during periods without touching quran and on internet? 2- Can she "recite" Quran orally or on internet during periods? 3- Can one recite quran on internet without "wadoo"?
Answer	Just as it is Haram and impermissible for a menstruating woman to touch the Qur’an e Kareem during monthly periods, in like manner reciting too is prohibited regardless of whether she touches the Qur’an while reciting or recites from memory or sees on a TV. Ruling is equal in all these occasions. However if she recites in a Thaqthee’u manner, that is to recite each word of the sentence in separate breath rather than reciting the full sentence in one breath Ex. may not recite the complete sentence ALHAMDU LILLAHI RABBIL AALAMEEN in one breath but ALHAMDU LILLAH in separate breath and RABBIL AALAMEEN in separate breath, then there is an allowance of doing so. Whereas it is correct and permissible to recite from memory or on screen etc. if one is only in the state of not having (Wudhu) Ablution, although touching it is prohibited even in this state.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum! I am in need of taking guidance from you about the tradition of Aameen. The problem is that a cousin of mine completed the Hifz e Qur'an a few days back Alhamdulillah! Now his parents wish to have an Aameen in celebration of the Hifz e Qur'an inviting all the relatives and, to have particular care about Parda and make arrangements for females and males seperately to the extent that female waiters be kept to serve the females and also to have Dasthaar Bandhi (to wear a turban) to the one who has done Hifz. Is it possible for us to have the tradition of Aameen, taking care of all the requirements of the Deen or is it just a waste of money and a show. Please send the reply early. May Allah reward you. Aameen
Answer	Yes, whilst realizing that it is not compulsory, there is permission to have a function, only in the sense of celebrating the happiness of being blessed with a unique treasure like memorizing of Qur’an e Kareem, with looking into all the obligations of Parda and making it free from all the innovations and ill-traditions.

Question	Many many thanks for sending your Fatwa No 37823 about the Masaa. May Allah give progress and Barakath for you and your institution. Aameen In my question I had very clearly mentioned that all the floors (ground, first and second i.e. roof) of old Masaa which is the original place of Masaa had been demolished. The new Masaa was built towards the external side of Haram alongwith i.e. parallel to the original Masaa before Haj last year.This place was the external strip of Haram where all the (Abwaab) entrances (Babus Salam,Babun Nabi, Babu Abul Abbas etc etc) were falling with. In other words it can be said as similar to a railway track which falls exactly parallel to each other Haram Safaa_____________________________ PuraniMasaa __________________________Marwaa ____________________________________Naee Masaa____________________________________ Area beyond Haram Hope that now I have become successful in explaining my question. Please allow me to thank you and send me early reply. Jazakumullahu Khairan Kaseeran Kaseeraa WasSalaam
Answer	Method adopted to avoid future difficulty for performers of Haj and Umrah through expanding the Masaa is due to (having no other options) helplessness and compulsion whereas performers of Haj and Umrah make Sa’ee in Masaa considering it to be the Masaa . Therefore apparently there is no ill in Haj or Umrah of those who perform Sa’ee in the new Masaa but counted as correct whether it is within the Haram limit or no.

Question	Respected Sir, 1 What do the respected Mufthis say about performing Sa'ee in the new Masaa which is made parallel to the real Masaa outside of the Haram? Doing Sa'ee in this place is correct or no? 2 If it is not correct then based on it what will be the ruling of doing Sa'ee there since the real Masaa is demolished due to expantion of Haram these days and Sa'ee is possible only in the new place? 3 Since the real Masaa is not existing is it correct or no to perform Umrah for those who stay inside the Hil? 4 If the answer for the question no 3 is negative then what is the ruling of the Umrah performed during this time by a person who stays inside Hil? Answer is requested at the earliest so that people could escape from doing more mistakes. Jazakallahu Khairan Kaseeran Kaseera
Answer	According to our informations the new Mas'aa is not allocated in a new place, instead, it is made on the new floor constructed above the old Mas'aa. If the situation infact too, is as informed to us, then the ruling on making Sa'ee on new Mas'aa is same as making Sa'ee on old Mas'aa. Therefore all the Umrahs performed by those who perform Umrah are undoubtedly permissible and correct and need not fall on unnecessary doubts. And if there is a different situation, then let that be sent on e mail in detail and after pondering over it Insha Allah the Shar'i ruling on it would announced. Allah knows best.

Question	During the period of Haj, The Saudi Government allow those who are employed there to perform Haj only on the condition that they make Thasreh ( a kind of a contract) with any Haj Group, for which a fee up to approximately 1600 Saudi Riyals are spent. But the majority of the people fix the matter with taxi drivers or other private vehicle owners for 150 or 200 and these drivers use other roads where there are no check posts, or the security personnel in the check posts are known to them, or they bargain on an amount and take them to Makkah. My question is whether their Haj becomes valid on such circumstances whereas they are capable enough to pay 1600 Saudi Riyals and do Haj in legal way. There is another matter too is here i.e., Saudi Government make arrangements for the Haj pilgrims according to a count and due to these people who do not perform Haj in legal way there occurs a big rush.
Answer	Although it is a Sin to contradict to the law of Saudi Government mentioned in the question and it is essential to abide by it, however the Haj and Umrah of those who go and perform Umrah and Haj like this are correct and counted as valid.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum Can an Asthmatical patient (who suffers from difficulty in breathing) observe fasting? Such a patient uses inhaler and can he use it, if it is found necessary?
Answer	Undoubtedly it is correct and permissible for such a person to observe Fasting . Using an inhaler invalidates the Fast and using due to helpless situation under compulsion will break Fast and there is no Kaffara for it but making Qadha is necessary. Allah knows best.

Question	i just wanted to inquire if women are allowed to pray 8 rakaat of taraweeh. i am aware that 20 has to be prayed but some women have never prayed taraweeh in their lives and to start them paraying taraweeh can they start of with 8 rakaats and gradually build it up to 20 rakaats. as they have never prayed taraweeh in their 20 rakaats sounds very daunting for them and i was thinking that they are missing out on this namaaz can they start of with 8 and build it up. jazakallah
Answer	Due to a Shar’I excuse or a physical weakness if a male or a female performs less number of Raka’ath of Tharaweeh instead of 20, his/her action although is a cause of reward and Sawab but Sunnath will not be accomplished by this. Sunnath will be accomplished only by performing 20 Raka’aths and it is necessary to be diligent on it. Allah knows best. Muhammad Za’eem, Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria 1 Zil Haj 1428

Question	1. How is it to do collective Ibadath Dua Zikr doing Bayan etc in the Masjid on odd nights of Ramadhan ul Mubarak? 2. How is it to do special Musafaha and Muanaqa during the Eid day? 3. During Ramadhan is it preferable to go on Jama'ath or to to stay at one's place and complete the Qur'an in Tharaweeh since by going in Jama'ath, Qur'an does not get completed.
Answer	1 It is a means of great fortune and very great reward to engage in Ibadath, Zikr, Dua, Thilawath etc. during the day or night in the holy month of Ramadhan. It is far more great source of reward to sit in I’thikaf in the final ten days and search for Lailathul Qadr specially in the odd nights. But to make a gathering for it a must and to look down upon those who do not do so etc. are not correct. 2 The exact time for Musafaha (Shaking Hands) and Mu’anaqa (Embracing ) is the first meeting and not the time after performing Namaz, therefore, after Namaz and particularly after Eid Namaz one should refrain from doing Musafaha and Mu’anaqa since it is only a customary practice of some areas. However if a person meets one during the Eid days and does Musafaha and Mu’anaqa with him it is not prohibited but is permissible and correct. 3 Both things mentioned are acts of virtues and no need of a comparison necessary between them. Anyhow what is preferable is, to spend time in Jama’ath after completely listening to the Qur’an in Tharaweeh since it is Masnoon and the opportunity is available only once in a year.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum Moulana Sahib, Tharaweeh is 8 Raka’ath or 20? Moulana Sahib , is there any Hadees to say that hands in Namaz should be tied below the navel?
Answer	Twenty Raka’ath of Tharaweeh is Sunnath e Mu’akkadah and all the Sahaba and the Thabi’een were unanimous on it and it is practiced by the total Ummath. From the four Imams, among no one is Tharaweeh less than 20 Raka’ath. Therefore to leave it completely or to make it a practice to perform less than twenty Raka’ath is tantamount to rebel and it is necessary to refrain from it strongly. 2. Yes . It is proved through the following Ahadees, performance of Sahaba and Thabi’een and their practices. Naration of Hadhrath Alqama Radhiyallahu Anhu (Musannif ibn Abi Shaiba - vol 1, p437) Narration of Hadhrath Sahl bin sa’ad Radhiyallahu Anhu (A’la e Sunan - vol 2, p163) Naration of Hadhrath Jabir Radhiyallahu Anhu -(A’la e Sunan - vol 2, p163) Naration of Hadhrath Ali Radhiyallahu Anhu - (A’la e Sunan - vol 2, p166) Naration of Hadhrath Aboo Wa’il Radhiyallahu Anhu - - (A’la e Sunan - vol 2, p167) Khadim Hussain.

Answer	The Masnoon way of I’thikaf for woman is to reserve the place of performing Namaz or any other room etc. in her house specially and sit with the intention of I’thikaf. Should not leave the place unless there is a Shar’i or physical need and also refrain from matters that would void the I’thikaf. Allah knows best.

Question	Can we use inhaler while fasting? Lot of people have different understanding on this as some says inhaler contains gas and it is neither solid nor liquid also it does not go into stomach. Please help in clarifying this aspect
Answer	Let it be known that medicinal particles available in the inhaler reaches the patient’s stomach with the gas while pumping, due to which the lungs get opened. And this act undoubtedly annuls the Fasting. Therefore it is incumbent for an asthmatic patient to avoid it. Patients who can not withstand longer periods without using the inhaler may not observe fasting and continue with the treatment and await recovery from illness. They may observe Fast once recovered to the extent that observing Fast does not cause any harm. Ootherwise make wasiyyath to pay Fidhya. Allah knows best. Niyaz Ahmed.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum What are the Sunnaths in observing Nafl fasting? During which days is it necessary to observe fasting in a week? During which days is it necessary to obseve fasting in a month? Apart form these, in which days and which months is it Sunnath to obseve fasting?
Answer	There are no days specified specially for Nafl Fastings. It can be observed all the days excluding the month of Ramadhan, two festival days and the days of Thashreeq (11th 12th and 13th of Zul Haj). However there are some days, virtues of which are mentioned in Ahadees. They are; first 9 days of Zul Haj, Day of Aashoora the 10th of Muharram (to add 9th or 11th with it), and 6 days in Shawwal. Apart from this, it is Nafl and Musthahab to observe fasting on Ayyamul Beedh (13th, 14th and 15th of every month). Rules of nullifying and acceptance of Nafl Fastings are same as of the Fardh Fastings. However, it is not correct for a woman to keep Fasting without the permission of her husband while he is present. By breaking a Nafl Fasting after being observed, Qadha of same would become incumbent. Allah knows best. Ubaidullah, Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria. 5 Muharram 1430

Question	Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmathullahi wa Barakathuhu I wish to ask you that in our Masjid, the Hafiz Sahib who conducts the Tharaweeh Namaz keeps long beard during the month of Ramadhan but just a few days after Eid he is seen clean shaved. Is it valid to perform Tharaweeh Namaz behind such an Imam?
Answer	It is Wajib to keep beard according to the consensus of the Ummath and it is the Sunnath of all the Anbiyas Alaihimus Salathu Wassalam. Shaving, trimming or shortening it less than a fist is a Sin and Fisq (a rebellious act). It is Makrooh to follow a Fasiq in Namaz, and to appoint such a person Imam with one’s own option is not permissible. Therefore may refrain from performing Tharaweeh Namaz following such an Imam.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum Janab please reply me for these two questions I searched in Darul Iftha but could not find. 1. Would a feeding mother observe fasting? Would Fasting become void by breast feeding? 2. By holding Qur'an Shareef in hand or seeing from somewhere is it possible to conduct Namaz? ( People do so in Masjid e Nabavi. Is it correct what they do?)
Answer	1 Fasting does not become void by breast-feeding, therefore a nursing woman can observe Fasting. However if there is fear of shortage of milk or if the baby does not take milk of ????????????? then she can leave Fasting and make Qadha later. 2. According to Hanafi Maslak Namaz gets annulled by doing so therefore followers of The Hanafi Maslak should refrain from doing it whereas those of Haram are followers of Hanbali Maslak and they can do so according to their Maslak.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum Sir, is it possible for a housewife while she is in I'thikaf to make arrangements for Sehri for house people and visitors i.e. can she prepare and give meals etc? That means, to make complete arrangements for them does she have to leave her particular cubical and come to the kitchen and prepare meals and deliver to the house people or work should be done only during Sehr? During the night all the arrangements can not be completed because the visitors can't do anything in the kitchen by themselves during the time of Sehr. Even if the housewife prepares and keeps the meals in the night they can't make it warm on their own during Sehr. So she has to leave her I 'thikaf place i.e. her particular cubical at Sehr Time and come over to kitchen and make Sehri for some brothers. Thanks
Answer	If nobody else is there to cook and give it is permissible to cook one’s meals while in I’thikaf and there is no harm in cooking so much that is sufficient for the houshold. Allah knows best. Abdul Azeez. Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria. 21 Ramadhan 1429

Question	What is the Shar'i standard of having Qura'an Khawani for the sake of Eesal e Sawab? Reply from Qur'an and Hadees
Answer	For the purpose of Isal e Sawab, having Qur’an Khwani is beyond doubt correct and permissible. However, it is necessary to take care of certain matters in this regard. Firstly, the purpose of whoever participate in Qur’an Khwani should be only the pleasure of Allah. Should not be under compulsion of embarrassment or show off to the household of the deceased and nor any criticism be levelled at absentees, in the contrary priority should be given to individual recital rather than collective Qur’an Khwani since there is more sincerity (Ikhlas) in it. Secondly, the Qur’an Khwani should not be against any remuneration, else, when the reciters themselves do not get any Sawab , what Sawab could they impart upon the deceased. Also it should not be realized necessary to have 3rd, 4th, 7th, 10th or 40th etc.. If major heirs of the deceased arrange a function with their personal wealth, Sawab of what is fed on poor and needy too would be attained and what is fed to the friends and relatives stayed behind as the function. Nevertheless, it becomes Makrooh if any of the said dates are considered to be essential and one should not participate in such case. And if the wealth of minor heirs of the deceased too is contributed in the function then consuming food in such a function is not permissible according to Shari’a and it is necessary to abstain from it.

Question	786 Why another Nabi can not come?
Answer	The arrangement started by the Almighty Allah of sending His messages by revelation through the chain of His Prophets for the purpose of up bringing and reforming of the mankind has reached its completion with the advent of Hadhrath Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam. Therefore now, there remains no necessity of a new Prophet. After completion of a thing it is against the wisdom to ask for an enhancement. Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam has compared the chain of Prophethood to a beautiful perfect building and said that “I am the last brick of it.” Therefore instead of engaging in this type of illogical questions and waiting for a new Nabi, one should concentrate on following Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam so as to succeed in Dunya and Akhira.

Question	Mufthi Sahib I like to know the reality of the Incident of Qirthas. When Rasoolullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam asked for pen why did Hadhrath Umar Radhiyallahu Tha'ala Anhu refused to give the pen? Hadhrath Umar Radhiyallahu Anhu did not listen to Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and that too during the last stage of His life. What disobedience can be above this? 2.Hadhrath Umar radhiyallhu Anhu and Hadhrath Abu Bakr radhiyallahu Anhu were made Khalifas in the presence of Hadhrath Ali Radhiyallahu Anhu who was His relative too and was so closed to Him?
Answer	1.During his last ailment , on a Thursday four days before his demise Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam told to his companions “Bring a piece of paper. I would write down a document after which you would never go astray.” Hadhrath Umar Radhiyallahu Anhu said that since Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam is suffering more due to his illness now, he should not be troubled and for essential matters Book of Allah is sufficient . And some others whose names are unknown were of the opinion that it should be written. Meanwhile, few others whose names are not mentioned in any narration said “What? Has the time of his bereavement approached, ask him?” However Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam did not give a final order to get it written at that time nor did he make any mention of it later whereas he lived for four more days after this. (Ahsanul Fathawa –vol 1, p522). By this incident finding arrogance/disobedience from the part of Hadhrath Umar Radhiyallahu Anhu and finding fault with him is the practice of Rawafidhis and it is mandatory to refrain from doing so. For further details refer Ahsanul Fathawa (vol 1,p522.) 2.Criterion of Khilafath in the Sacred Shari’a is not kinsmanship/relationship but there are various other qualities in which, according to the consensus (Ijmah) of the Ummah these respected personnel were ahead. Therefore Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alihi wa Sallam himself made them at the forefront and Hadhrath Ali Radhiyallahu Anhu acknowledged it.

Question	I wish to ask whether it is correct that his birth had taken place in Baithullah and with regard to Khilafath injustice was meted out against him?
Answer	1. According to the preferred opinion Hadhrath Ali Radhiyallahu Anhu’s birth took place in Shuab e Bani Hashim, a valley in Makka. (Encyclopedia Sahaba e Kiram Radhiyallahu Anhum) extracts from Thareekh ul Khamees, Usaba, Sier A’alaamun Nubalaa. 2. As for the matter of Khilafath no injustice is meted out to him. The word injustice is not established from his words nor from the others of the Sahaba or Thabi’een, whereas after the demise of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam, the full Jama’th of Sahaba e Kiram Ridhwanullahi Tha ‘ala Alaihim Ajma’een including Hadhrath Ali Radhiyallahu Anhu, after having lengthy discussion at Saqeefa Bani Sa’ida agreed upon the Khilafath of Hadrath Abu Bakr Radhiyallahu Anhu and pledged allegiance (Bai’ath) on his hand and this is found clearly in the books of history. Negating this is as if negating a reality and for further details referring to the book KHILAFATH E RASHIDA compiled by Hadhrath Moulana Idrees Kandhalawi would be helpful. Allah knows best.

Question	Is it correct that those who keep things made of metal with them are not effected by Jaado (Sihr/Magic) Please inform through Hadees at your earliest.
Answer	In it’s pure essence there is no effectiveness as such in any object made of metal. However if the purpose is to have protection from Black Magic etc., it is Sunnath and an act of experience to recite Muwwizathain (Sura e Al Falaq and Sura e Al Naas) and blow in hands and apply it all over the body for protection including Black Magic and various other diseases and this practice should be adopted vigilantly.

Question	Salam! First question is, is it correct to have a belief that a certain learned elder is capable of knowing while in the grave that fightings and quarrelings are taken place in such and such a place and so and so are included in it and also for that elder to visit that place physically and return after explaining them? Second question is that what is the ruling about a person who believes this incident and writes in his books, events like this? Please reply with proofs from Qur'an and Hadees.
Answer	Common concept and the order is that a person is given life for the second time only when all the dead are raised and given life on the resurrection day, but there are many examples found in Qur’an e Kareem and Ahadees e Mubaraka where this common rule is deviated and Allah Thabaraka wa Tha’ala through His mighty power and as a supernatural event, had given life to some dead, as in the case of Hadhrath Uzair Alaihis Salaam and his ass, who were given life after one hundred years etc. Or, giving life to a dead body by a Nabi as a miracle (Mu’jiza), which is also supernatural and an act of Allah Tha’ala. In the like manner according to Ahl e Sunnath wal Jama’ath, Karaamath (Acts performed beyond the laws of nature by the pious saints of Allah) too is true and they are supernatural events which just outline the mighty power of Allah. Therefore if Allah Rabbul Izzath transforms a saint to his original or similar body and gives him temporary life and in the meantime if he settles a dispute too, this too is a manifestation of the power of Allah Tha’ala and there is nothing to be disputed over it. But it is not correct to have the same concept about all the saints, that whenever they want they can reincarnate themselves and also to attribute the same, to the own act of the saint himself. In the contrary this is an esteemed respect and an elevated position given by Allah Thabaraka wa Tha’ala due to which once in a way such acts are performed deviating from the common law of nature with the intention, authority and the power of Allah, the Almighty. Therefore one should avoid finding fault with a person unnecessarily in Shari’a and also it is incumbent to refrain from criticizing the genuine saints of Allah. Allah knows best.

Question	My question is that Allah Tha'ala has said in Qur'an that Allah forgives all the sins except Shirk and in another place He says that resting place for one who kills a Mu'min is Jahannum. (Isn't there a possibility of lie established by this) A friend of mine said that it is falsehood. If Allah is All Powerful (All Capable) then is He Capable of stealing also? Please resolve my confusion. Send answer to my email as early as possible as it is very essential
Answer	Due to His common power Allah Tha’ala is All Powerful in everything but along with this Allah has promised that He would not do certain acts. Therefore not doing an act according to His promise does not necessitate His inability of doing such acts. For instance, Allah is capable of forgiving a Mushrik but alongwith He has promised that He would not forgive a Mushrik without the repentance , therefore non-forgiveness does not necessitate incapability. Also it is necessary to understand that ALLAH is Most Supreme and Most High and is pure and free from all sort of faults and defects therefore any such act which contains blunder or imperfection can not occur from Allah Tha’ala, not because it is beyond the power of Allah but because He is pure and free from all kinds of faults and defects. In short, occurrence of defects like lie, theft etc. are possible (for Himself) LIZAATHIHI whereas impossible (for others) LIGHAIRIHI, FROM Allah Subhanahu wa Tha’ala. Allah knows best.

Question	A Barelvi Alim in his address said that "it is written in Fatawa Rasheediya that the parents of Rasoolullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam were Kafirs (Non Believers) and in my view those who think them to be Kafirs are Kafirs" The question is what is the Aqeeda of Ulama e Deoband in this regard as there were lot of fightings and disturbances taken place in this matter. Please write whatever the findings according to Ahl e Sunnath alongwith the references in this context and guide us. Jazakallahu Khaira
Answer	Let it be known that sayings of the learned Ulemas about the Eeman of the blessed parents of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam are different due to different narrations in this regard. Since the subject matter is so subtle and delicate observing silence in this is more safe among the researchers of Ahnaf and it is the way of safety. Therefore engaging in these subjects and creating conflicts and disturbances is tantamount to ruin one’s Eeeman and to injure the feelings of the believers unnecessarily whereas these are subjects about which no question will be asked either in Qabr or in Hashr. Therefore it is necessary to avoid engaging in such things and wasting one’s time. Allah knows best. Shehzad Hussain, Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria, Karachi. 26 Jamadis Saani1430

Question	It is said that Allah is Independent. So why offerings are made in His name? Is it correct to do offerings in the name of respected Sahabas?
Answer	The meaning of independence is that, He is not in need of our Ibadaath but we, that is the created beings who perform His Ibadaath and offering vows and sacrifices in His name and reach His pleasure and nearness to Him. Then, the more one creates sincerity in Ibadath, the closer he reaches to His nearness and he would be rewarded for his Ibadaath. Whereas if vows and sacrifices are offered in the name of any created being with the intention of achieving his nearness this act would be tantamount to attributing partners (shirk) to the Independent Supreme Being due to which not only the action becomes null and void but also becomes liable to punishment due to the fact that it is in contradiction to the laid down rules of worship. This is the reason why sacrifices and vows in the name of other than Allah is prohibited and to asked to make such acts confined only in the name of Allah Thabaraka wa Tha’ala. In order to show indigence and obedience in the presence of such an Independent Supreme Being, sacrifices and vows are made in His name and since these are kinds of worship it is not at all permitted to be done in the name any created being even in the name of such elevated personalities as Sahaba e Kiram Ridhwanullahi Tha’ala Alaihim Ajma’een.

Question	In the name of Allah, Is it Ja'iz to follow Imam Rabbani? Is it allowed to practice upon the edited book (Makthoobat Shareef)? What should be the Aqeeda of Ahl e Thasawwuf? Awaiting your reply, Your humble servant.
Answer	Since Imam e Rabbani was Mujaddid and Imam of Ahl e Sunnath wal Jama’ath of his era; and his interior, exterior, and esteemed applications were based on Qur’an and Sunnath; and whatever was against to the basic rulings of these two were not accepted in his presence; and along with this he was a follower of Hadhrath Imam e A’zam Rahimahullah, it is permissible to follow him with regard to matters pertaining to Shari’a and to read his book Makthoobath e Shareef. As for the Aqida of Ahl e Thasawwuf, it should be the same as of the majority of the Ahl e Sunnath wal Jama’ath. Therefore wherever their opinions contradict with the opinion of the majority, it is incumbent to refrain from acting upon them. Allah knows best.

Question	People think that it is necessary to do charity in this day and they celebrate this day happily. How does Islam enjoins to spend this day?
Answer	To essentially appoint a particular day to engage in charity (Sadaqa and Khairaath) etc. and to consider it as a must to make Sadaqa and Khairaath etc. on that particular day is Bid’ath(Innovation). Hence it is necessary to abstain from it. As for celebrating that day, it is impossible to understand because Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alihi wa Sallam passed away on this day and his date of birth, according to the authentic opinion is 8th Rabi’ul Awwal (Seerathul Musthafa vol.1) Whereas Islam has not enjoined to celebrate the date of birth of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam nor has it placed a special way for it. Therefore, what is preferable is to do excessive good deeds on that day. Allah knows best. Shafee’ullah Darul iftha, Jamia Binnoria, 12 Jamadil Oola 1430

Question	How is it to call YA RASOOLALLHA? Please explain in the light of Qur'an and Hadees. You will be grately appreciated.
Answer	It is permissible beyond doubt to address Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam with words like Ya Rasoolullah etc if any person appears in the presence of Rowdha e Ath har of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam. And using such words while one is distantly away from the Rowdha e Ath har with a belief and concept that Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam is present with me, he sees me and listens me calling him with words like Ya Rasoolullah etc. is, beyond doubt impermissible and in this situation such concepts are Shirk (attributing partners to Allah). Therefore it is incumbent to refrain from having such concepts and using those words while sending Durood and Salam. Allah knows best.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum Sir I want to ask you on which day the birth of Rasool e Akram Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam did take place? Some people's saying is that he was born on 8 Rabi ul Awwal and we have read in books that he was born on 12th. I need proper information. Please help me.
Answer	The blessed birth of Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam took place on a Monday. However the early difference of opinions about the date of birth still continues. According to one opinion it is 8th Rabi’ul Awwal, and another opinion is 10th Rabi’ul Awwal whereas according to the famous opinion the blessed birth of Nabi Sallalahu Alaihi wa Sallam had taken place on the 12th of Rabi’ul Awwal. But the preferred opinion among the majority of the commentators of Hadees (Muhaddiseen) and historians is 8th Rabi’ul Awwal. The same opinion is narrated from Hadhrath Abdullah bin Abbas and Hadhrath Jubair bin Muth’im Radhiyallahu Anhum and the same opinion is selected by Allama Quthubuddeen Qasthalaani Rahimahullah (Seerathul Musthafa vol 1) Allah knows best.

Answer	Let it be known that coming out of the blessed hand of Rasoolullah Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam from his sacred Rowdha and kissing of same is true and is established through history and this is the incident of the famous elder and the pious saint, Seyyad Ahmad Refa’I Rahimahullah. When he presented himself for Ziyarah and read a couple of distiches standing near the blessed grave, the sacred hand came out and he kissed the same.

Question	Are the Saints (Aulia Allah) alive in their graves?
Answer	When a deceased is buried the soul is connected with the body to the extent that it could feel the rewards and punishments; comforts and pains, which is called the Hayath e Barzakhi (purgatorial life). This life is common for saints and non saints however the life of a saint is stronger than a mundane person and the strongest life is that of Anbiya Alaihimus Salaam. But it does not mean that presenting oneself in their graves is to seek his needs directly from them as is the practice of the Ahl e Bid’ath, because doing so is so called Shirk and it is incumbent to refrain from it.

Question	What do the learned Ulemas and the respected Mufthis say in this regard? How is it to say Assalathu Wassalamu Alaika Ya Rasoolullah? A friend of mine is of the opinion that by saying so, the fact that Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is Omnipresent and Omniscent will become obvious, which is Shirk whereas I think that saying so is not Shirk, instead, Angels convey my Salams in the presence of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam and I don't recite thinking Omnipresent and Omniscent. But I have the belief that Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam hears the Salams of his accepted servants while he is in the holy grave whereas Salams of sinners like myself are conveyed in the presence of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam by the angels. I will be so grateful if you could please expalin this matter.
Answer	It is very well understood through the following narrations that if a person (accepted or non-accepted) sends Durood and Salam to Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam from any corner of the world, it is delivered to his presence through the angels and if a person sends Durood and Salam standing in front of the sacred Rowdha, Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam himself listens and answers to it. Where as doing so with the concept of omnipresent and omniscent or accepting that concept will resemble with Ahl e Bid’ath and strengthen them hence it is necessary to abstain from it. 1 Nasa’I Vol 1 p 189 2 Ibnu Maja p 65 3 Thargheeb Vol 2 p498/499 Allah knows best Muhammad Haneef 7 Rabee’ul Awwal 1430

Question	Is it necessary that every muslim should be a Hafiz of Six Kalmas?
Answer	The six Kalimas which are famous, are arranged in name, number and order, only to facilitate in memorizing and reciting in instances where Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam has taught to recite and to achieve the virtues there-of although their number, names and order do not fold into any category of Fardh, Wajib or Sunnat in Shari’a. The first two among these do possess the basic status of achieving Eeman whereas the other four are for achieving of virtues and strengthening of Eeman. Upon this basis these are being memorized to children from the very outset. Allah knows best Mas’ood ur Rahman Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria 24 Rabee’us Saani 1429

Question	Assalamu Alaikum Janab Mufthi Sahib, What I want to know is that in our School of Thought (Deobandi) it is an innovation (Bid'ath) to kiss the thumb whereas among the Barelvi Hazarath it is somewhat necessary that they kiss the thumb when they hear the holy name of Nabi e Kareem Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam in Azan. Since the Barelvi Hazarath call themselves as Hanafis, please send such a proof refuting the kissing of the thumb according to Fiqh e Hanafi so that a Barelvi could be silenced in case it is discussed with him. Thanks. 2: During the Namaz of Maghrib, when we join with the Jamaat in the last Raka'at, that Raka'at will be the first Raka'at for muqtadii or the last Raka'at?...after finishing of jamaat...the new Raka'at will be our 1st or 2nd Raka'at..and in that Raka'at we will read "sana"or not?...........please clarify 3: Apart from passing urine and stool is it necessary to do Isthinja (cleaning) after passing wind too? Please clarify.
Answer	1. Barelvi Hazaraath present some narrations with regard to kissing of thumb. Commenting on these narrations Imam Jalaluddeen Suyoothi Rahimahullah writes…, “All those Narrations which mention about kissing of thumbs and placing them over the eyes while listening the holy name of Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam in Kalima e Shahada in Azan are fabricated and invalid.” (Thaiseerul Maqal lissuyoothi-Rah e Sunnath p243). Similarly, Allama Shami Rahimahulla states in Raddul Mukhthar (Vol 1, p398) about these narrations as unauthentic and incorrect. 2. After the completion of the congregational Namaz regardless of Maghrib or any other, the order in Qira’ath for the Masbuq (one who joined late and missed some raka’aths) while completing his missed Raka’ths will be as 1st, 2nd and 3rd Raka’ath. That is the reason behind the necessity of reading Sana, Tha’ awwuz, Fathiha and a Sura in his 1st Raka’ath, and the Raka’ath he prayed with the Imam will be considered as his last Raka’ath. (Durrul Mukhthar Vol 1, p596) 3. Passing out of wind invalidates Wudhu and it is not necessary to do isthinja (cleansing) if no impurity is emitted and it is sufficient to make only Wudhu.

Question	Assalam-o-Alaikum A man P in the presence of X,Y & Z used some insulting and offensive words to disgrace our prophet Muhamad PBUH. Later on X,Y & Z were told by a religious scholar R (not a mufti) that the punishment of such a person is death as this was a clear case of Tauheen-e-Risalat and they should have killed person P at the spot. They were also informed as they have not taken an appropriate action at that instance, now they should take the case to a court and see what the court decides. Mr. R also told that the court must order a death penalty for such a clear case, otherwise it should be taken that the court had been pressurized or bribed. Mr. R then informed X,Y & Z that they may kill P as per shari’ah in case the court did not order a death penalty. Please guide me so that I could tell these people the fatwa. Because of the sensitivity of this fatwa, I will suggest to inform me urgently through email. Wassalam Muslim Khan Lodhi
Answer	If a person has in reality used some slandering words in respect of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam, this brutal act although causes for apostasy and emission from the fold of Islam, according to Shari’a it becomes permissible to put him to death until he repents over his this mean act and makes Thowba/Isthighfar and again comes to the fold of Islam. But this ruling is tied with the time of committing the sin. (Fiqhul Islam Vol 2 p184) whereas after lapsing of time the authority of putting him to death will rest only in the hands of the Courts and none else. Therefore it is necessary for the three who were present at the place to take legal action against the culprit and it is incumbent upon the Courts have a complete investigation and convict the accused with stern punishment so as to become a lesson for others.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum, Sir in order to join the Silsila (chain) of some Buzurg/Peer (Saint) is it necessary to have covenent (Bai'ath) with him and what is the reality of it from the Islamic point of view? Please rectify us in this aspect. Mohammad Azam
Answer	The main objective is self rectification. Bai’ath is a covenant of a person who makes Thowba and assures to refrain from sins on the hands of an elder who himself is a follower of Shari’a in his practical life and also have the capability of making others too adhere to Shari’a, which is of assistance in self-rectification. Adopting the Bai’ath system is although not Fardh or Wajib in grade yet it is Sunnath. Allah knows best. Habeebur Rahman Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria 24 Rabee’us Saani 1429

Question	Is there any authority to anybody after Allah and Rasool to bring in changes to Deen?
Answer	After the departure of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam from the this world no body has any authority to bring about any changes in (Mansoos Ahkam) the declared manifested orders of Shari’a. However if the questioner writes down in detail the purpose and the objective and sends this question again it would be pondered through and the Shar’i ruling on such changes too may be explained.

Question	What is the ruling on "Madrasathul Banath" (religious institutions only for girls)? Can those girls who have come from distant places be in the hostel and acquire knowledge? I am so worried because from one side many a big Ulemas are not in favour of it while on the other side a number of Madrasathul Banaths with hostels, too are functioning under the patronage of many a big Ulemas. Please solve my this problem and Allah will rewad you for this.
Answer	Let it be understood that acquiring religious knowledge is compulsory upon every male and female. Now if a female can arrange to acquire religious knowledge from any of her Mehrem males while engaged in her household duties and remaining indoors, it is the most suitable and best way and she should learn the important matters pertaining to Ibadaath (Acts of Worship), Akhlaqiyaath (Ethics), Muamalaath (Transactions) and Muasharaath (Social Relationships) and try to lead her practical life accordingly. But if such an arrangement is not there and if she could go and come to a close-by reliable girl’s Madrasa with a Mehram (male with whom marriage is forbidden) or due to certain difficulties at home if she happened to stay in the hostel, but there remained no possibility of any kind of Fitna(Mischief) whatsoever while travelling to and for from Madrasa or while at hostel or during the course of studies and also there is no immodest dressing (Be Pardagi), it is undoubtedly permissible to acquire religious knowledge with the permission of her Mehram while remaining in Shar’i Parda and nor is it prohibited. However even at this stage the suitable way is to adopt a day-scholar (non-hostelling) system rather than being in the hostel. The learned Ulemas who oppose to this Madaris are in fact opposing due to the shortcomings of the administration, incautiousness in going and coming to Madrasa and improper supervision in the hostels with regard to their discipline and etiquettes etc. In the contrary, these things are opposed by even every common man, as such, there remains a dire need of looking into these matters.

Question	Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam was a light or a human?
Answer	The Concept of the Ahl e Sunnath wal Jama’ath about the Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam is that, Nabi Sallalallahu Alaihi wa Sallam in his real essence is, not only included in the mankind but is the best of all the mankind; not only a human but the leader of all the human beings; not only from the progeny of Hadhrath Adam Alaihis Salaam but he is the Pride and Glory for Hadhrath Adam Alaihis Salaam and his off-springs. SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WA SALLAM. Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam states, “ANA SEYYIDU WULDI ADAMI YAWMAL QIYAMA” I will be the leader of the progeny of Adam (Alaihis Salaam) on the day of Qiyama –{ Mishkat page 511} Therefore to be in the group of human beings, mankind and progeny of Adam Alaihis Salaam, is not a crest or an ornament only for Nabi Sallallahu Alailhi wa Sallam, on the contrary, human beings and the mankind became the concern and anxiety of the Angels by it. Just as Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam in his real essence is human, he is the Minaret of radiance for the total mankind with regard to the quality of guidance. This is the radiance through the light of which, the mankind could attain the guidance of the Almighty Allah. The light, which will remain glittering and shining for ever. Therefore, according to the doctrines of Ahl e Sunnath wal Jama’ath, Nabi Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam while being a radiance(NOOR) he is in the same time a human being (BASHAR) too. And as per Ahl e Sunnath wal Jama’ath, it is incorrect to divide the Radiance and Humanism in two categories and affirm one and negate the other.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum! Sir I am connected to the Deoband Sect but everybody in my working place are conected to the Barelvi Sect and I do perform Namaz behind them. If I do not perform Namaz they use to make stories and there exist an avertion in between. In order to create mutual affection I perform Namaz, whereas the Imam Sahib, though he is a Barelvi he does not have any of their concepts and just do what their elders say. Kindly let me know whether my Namaz is valid or no? If no, then the Namaz of so much of people who perform here, too are not valid? Clarification Reply: Assalamu Alaikum Janab Moulana Sahib, I could not understand the following things from the reply you sent. 1. What is meant by Bid'ath e Rasomath (innovation in practices and traditions)? 2. What is meant by Mushrikana Aqidat ke Hamil (Bearing Concept of Idol-worshipping)? Please reply in detail since the matter is related to Namaz.
Answer	If the Barelvis are only perpetrating Innovations (Bid’aath) and Traditions(Rusoomaath) and do not possess any concepts of Shirk, it is preferable to perform Namaz following them rather than performing Namaz alone. Therefore it is necessary to the questioner to follow this Imam without praying alone. Allah knows best Noor Habib Shah Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria 15 Safar 1429 Reply for the clarification: Bid’aath and Rusoomaath means to perpetrate such activities which are not proved by Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam and his Companions and it is done realizing it to be Deen and also with the hope of getting reward (Sawab); such as celebrating Meelad, reciting Salath o Salam before giving Azan, kissing the thumb etc.etc., Concepts of Shirk means to attribute the essence and qualities of Allah Tha’ala to any Saintly elder or a prophet etc even though implicitly and indirectly as in the case of believing in Rasoolullah Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam as always omnipresent and, omniscient on each and every part of incidents that have occurred, occurs and will occur till the doomsday; visiting tombs and bowing/prostrating with respect; believing in Saints and Elders after their death as Datha (BENEFACTOR) and Dasthageer (GUIDE) like Allah Tha’ala; Making vows on their names etc.etc., Allah knows best.

Question	Is Allah capable of telling lies? If no, then are those who have the concept that Allah is capable of telling lies Kafir? Please reply soon
Answer	The foremost thing to understand is that engaging unnecessarily in arguments and discussions on those matters of doctrines pertaining to which no clear cut explanation is available in Nass (Unchallengeable evidence of Shari’a), and specially when such issues had already been comprehensively elucidated is nothing but a useless affair and the public should not tread in this path but they should strive to learn and practice which are established through Shar’i Nusoos(Evidences). After this brief concise, the subject under discussion should be understood with the example that ; Allah Tha’ala does not forgive the Mushrikeen as per His promise in Qur’an e Kareem (Sura e Nisa, Ayath No 48), But He is capable of forgiving the Mushrikeen although He will not forgive. Identically the same is the meaning with regard to the capability of Allah Tha’ala in lying, i.e., Allah Tha’ala is capable of lying but He will not tell lies. This is the view of all the Ahl e Sunnath wal Jama’ath. Considering those who are of this view to be Kafir is based on ignorance and deception. Without any Shar’i need, hurling such matters and trying to create detestation of Ulemas among the general public; and, instead of attempting to understand the real meaning of a speech taking into consideration all the nick and corner and, separating only a sentence from it and capturing the apparent literal meaning; are unique ornaments of the infidels. Therefore it is necessary for the questioner, before exploring into the ruling about them, to rectify his own concepts and doctrines and to understand the real meaning of the speech.

Question	Salam (Fortunate is the one who is mannered and unfortunate is the one who is ill-mannered) Isn't he the most ignorant of all who bears the concept that the Durood (Salutation) to Enlightened Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam is conveyed through Angles and Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam himself does not hear? Jibra'il Alaihis Salam said "now I can't go beyond the Sidrath ul Munthaha Ya Rasoolullah! now beyond this you have to go because I am not like you" Jibr'ail Alaihis Salam said that Ya Rasoolullah I am not like you but the so called Moulavis say that Rasoolullah Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam is like us. So what is the ruling about them whose big moulavi in his book Thaqwiyathul Eeman, and I say that is a kithab which removes one's Eeman, writes that the Ilm of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam is equalant to the Ilm of Shaithan Ma'azallah! How can such a Moulavi claim himself to be a Muslim? Moulana please note my phone no.03333623267
Answer	The doctrine of the Ahl e Sunnath Wal Jama’ath is that Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam is alive in his blessed Rowdhah and his this life is far above and aloft from the normal worldly life. Therefore it is understood from Ahadees e Mubaraka that Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam himself listens and answers if a person reads Durood Shareeef in the presence of Rowdha e Shareef and if a person sends Durood Shareef from a distant place, Allah Rabbul Izzath delivers it to Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam through the angels. (Narrated in Mishkaath page87 from Baihaqi, page 86 from Nasa’i and Daarami) Now let it be clearly understood that according to the precise proclamations of Qur’an Majeed and explicit explanations of the books of doctrines and concepts, among the Ulama e Deoband of Ahl e Sunnath Wal Jama’ath Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alalihi wa Sallam is Human, and, being a Human is a cause for the excellence and nobility of Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam although as for the dignity, he is the most supreme of all the Makhlooqaath (Creations), further, after Allah Thabaraka wa Tha’ala, status is for him and refusing this fact is a clear refusal of Nusoos- the unchallengeable evidences of Qur’an and Sunnath and considering the status of (Bashar) human being inferior than the status of (Mala’ikah) angels is based on nothing but ignorance. (Sura e Kahf ayat 110, Mishkaath page 511) As for the Book of Thaqwiyathul Eeman, it was authored by Muhyis Sunnah, Qathiul Bid’ah Shah Muhammad Ismail Shaheed Nawwarallhu Marqadahu, an excellent and outstanding book in establishing Towheed and refuting Bid’aath (Innovations). And the words which are raised in objection by the questioner who even prepares to call him Kafir based on them are not at all available in it, rather it is a clear distortion from Ahl e Bid’ath and has no connection what so ever with the reality. It is necessary for the questioner to refer the book IBAARAATH E AKAABIR authored by Hadhrath Allama Moulana Sarfaraz Khan Safdar Sahib which would Insha allah benefit him in clearing of his doubts.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum My question is 1, whether those maintain enmity towards Sahaba i.e The Shi'as are Muslims? 2. And in which way the dignity of Hadhrath Abu Bakr Radhiyallahu Anhu is superior than that of Hadhrath Ali Radhiyallahu Anhu? 3. Also inform us about the Battle of Camel. 4.Please send the fatwa of Ahmad Reza Khan Shib about the Shi'as. Jazakallah
Answer	1/2, The respected Sahabas Radhiyallahu Anhum are the best and the most pure after the ranks of noble Anbiya Alaihimus Salaathu was Salaam. Many among them were given the glad tidings of Jannath in this world itself and Allah Tha’ala has proclaimed His pleasure with Sahaba e Kiraam in Qur’an e Kareem and their Eeman was made the criterion for those who come after them up to the Day of Qiyamath. Therefore whosoever maintains enmity with them is the worst among the people and manifest Fasiq and Fajir. As for the rank of Hadhrath Abu Bakr Radhiyallahu Anhu next to the rank of Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam, it is established through a lot of Ahadees and also from Hadhrath Ali Radhiyallahu Anhu himself as is mentioned in the following narration.(Mishkaath page no 555). Therefore to have any doubt about this is similar to making oneself under his own deception. 3, With regard to this it will be useful to refer the book MUSHAJRAATH E SAHAABA authored by Mufthi Muhammad Shafie Usmani Rahimahullah. 4, We were unable to make access to any of his books. So it is better to refer to the Darul Iftha of the concerned School of Thought. Allah knows best. Muhammad Asif Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria, 17 Rabi’ul Awwal 1429

Answer	In the situation mentioned, it is not necessary to visit the Shamshan for Eesal e Sawab, rather it is impermissible too, since it resembles the Hindus.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum! Sir, I have doubts about purity and impurity. Often when I touch a thing I doubt whether it will be pure or impure and when it strikes to me that it is impure I keep on washing my hands until I am satisfied. And while bathing the same thing occurs and keep on pouring water due to which many of my Namaz become Qadha and I am quite worried about this. Could you instruct me of a Wazheefa. Thanks. Wassalam. Sajjad
Answer	One should suffice in washing his limbs only three times while making Wudhu and to over come the said Waswasa (whispers) it will be very useful to be particular in the below mentioned Wadha’if . 1. After every Namaz recite 21 times A’oozu Billahi Minash Shaithaaani Aamanthu Billahi Wa Rusulihi with 3 times Durood Shareef before and after. 2. Make the practice of reciting the third Kalima in abundance every now and then or else at least 700 times during day and night. Insha Allah with this your uneasiness would disappear.

Answer	The way of cleansing the unclean cloth is; it is essential to remove the traces of apparent impurity if found any, and the effects thereof. And the best way is to wash it three times and squeeze off as much as possible. Even it is permissible that, if it is washed only once and the dominant probability is that it has become clean. Whereas in situations where traces of impurity are not apparent, it is necessary in Shari’a to wash the cloth three times and to squeeze off every time to the extent that dripping of drops would stop. Hence by doing this cloth would become clean and pure. Allah knows best Haseeb Ahmed. Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria 16 Rabi’ul Awwal 1429

Jazak-Allah. Wassalam-u-alaikum. M.Javaid Akhter F.B.Area Karachi
Answer	The Shar’i method of performing Ghusl (Bathing) after the stoppage of Haidh (Mensturation) is ; She should first wash both her hands up to the wrists and then relieve herself and clean. Then clean the places of the body where the impure is, and then make Wudhu (Ablution). Thereafter pour water over the head three times then over right shoulder three times and over left shoulder three times in such a way that water seeps through all over the body and after pouring water for the first time rub the body so that water reaches everywhere in the body. If the woman has long hair and tied up as knots it is not necessary to untie the knots, however it is necessary that water reaches the root. And if necessity arises, pubic hair too should be cleaned. For further details and explanations it will be beneficent to keep the Book Beheshti Zewar (Heavenly Ornaments in English) authored by Hakeemul Ummath Moulana Ashroff Ali Thanvi Rahimahullah under refrerence.

Question	.Assalamu Alaikum! Mufthi Sahib, Is it Sunnath to wear cap or no? Is it Sunnath or Wajib to recite Sana in Namaz? Is it necessary or not to recite Sana in Fardh Namaz?
Answer	Wearing cap or turban is among the continous Sunna practice of Holy prophet Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam although he had left it too, on certain occasions as a token sign of permissibility. Therefore it is against the Sunna to perform Namaz without a cap, with no valid Shar’i excuse or just for laziness etc., and it is necessary to refrain from it and should take care in wearing cap or turban. As for reciting of Sana, it is not Fardh or Wajib but is among the Sunan of Namaz. Therefore one should take care in reciting it in the first Raka’at regardless of Fardh or Sunnath Namaz.

Question	how can we say our prayer in journey thanks
Answer	If the journey is Shar’i, i.e 48 Miles ( 77.24 Km) or longer than it, then, after leaving the boundary of the town or village it is Waijb to perform Namaz of 4 Rakaa’ath (Zohr, Asr, Isha) shortened (Qasr), that means to perform 2 Rakaa’ath instead of 4 Rakaa’ath. And if it is intended to stay in the destination for 15 days or more then it is necessary to perform the complete Namaz and it is not permissible to do Qasr over there. However if it is intended to stay there for less than 15 days then there too Qasr Namaz would be performed. Allah knows best. Hameedur Rahman Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria 22 Rabi’ul Awwal 1428

Question	I am connected to the Deobandi Sect and my question is, Where did Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam say that it is permissible to perform Namaz appointing a person who possesses such and such qualities as Imam? What I mean is, why is it not allowed to perform Namaz following Barelvis?
Answer	Generally, Barelvis, apart from committing Innovations (Bid’aath) and traditions (Rusoomaath) are bearing incorrect and Shirk concepts and doctrines too. Therefore it is Makrooh e Thahreemi to perform Namaz due to this rebellious act following an Imam who is extreme in such concepts and doctrines. Therefore it is not permissible to appoint such a person as Imam upon one’s own discretion Allah knows best. Muhammad Asif Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria 22 Rabi’ul Awwal 1428

Answer	1. Yes. Performing Salathuth Thasbeeh , according to Shari’a is correct and is established through manifest Ahadees in accepted authentic Books of Ahadees such as Abu Dawud (vol 1,page 183), Thirmizi (vol 1, page 63) and Ibnu Maja (page 99) etc., and also is reported by many of the respected Sahabas like Hadhrath Abdullah bin Umar, Hadhrath Ja’fer bin Abi Thalib, Hadhrath Ali bin Abi Thalib Radhiyallahu Anhum and so on. Although Allama Ibnu Jowzi Rahimahullah has stated that Ahadees pertaining to Salathuth Thasbeeh are fabricated, yet, it is his singularity or insistence because the Muhaddiseen (Scholars in Hadees) have rejected him very strongly. Thus, Hadhrath Moulana Khaleel Ahmed Saharanpoori Rahmathullahi Alaihi in his book Bazlul Majhood has quoted sayings of many Muahddiseen like Hafiz Ibnu Hajar and so on in details in rejecting Ibnu Jowzi. (Bazlul Majhood Vol 2, Page 277). Therefore saying that “praying Salathuth Thasbeeh is not correct” is wrong and based on ignorance of Ahadees. 2. Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab, although was a unifier (Muwahhid) and a person with strong enmity towards Innovations (Bid’ath), yet he has rejected some unanimous matters established through Qur’an and Hadees and the righteous predecessors. Therefore according to Ulama e Deoband some of his concepts are against the unanimous concept of Ahl e Sunnath Wal Jama’ath and incorrect in the light of Qur’an and Sunnath. From the Ulemas of Saudi, those who do not reject any of the unanimous concept of Ahl e Sunnath Wal Jama’ath even though they follow any of the four schools of thoughts of Jurisprudence of four Imams, are undoubtedly followers of Shari’a and correct Ulemas. 3. There is no doubt that Allah Tha’ala listens and accepts supplication (Dua) of each individual. But the fact is that Duas of some people or some avenues are quick in acceptance, and, Vaseela (Intercession) too, is done for the same purpose. Therefore it is permissible without any doubt to intercede through Saints of Allah, righteous people, Nabi Kareem Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam and good deeds while making Dua and this (method) is also established through the practices of Sahab e Kiram, Thabi’een and also of Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam himself. Therefore it is permissible to make Dua viz., Ya Allah accept my Dua through the intercession of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. As for such practices of Sahaba e Kiram Radhiyallahu Anhum after the demise of Nabi Sallallalhu Alaihi wa Sallam, it is proved by the method of Hadhrath Usman bin Haneef Radhiyallahu Anhu in which he ordered a person to make Dua through the intercession of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam thus; Oh Allah! I make Dua from You and I turn towards You through the intercession of Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam who is the Merciful prophet. This Hadees is quoted by Thabrani in Mu’jam Kabeer and declared authentic. (Mu’jam page 104). Further Allama Munziri too has ascertained Imam Thabrani.(AthThargheeb Wath Tharheeb Vol.1, page 43). Similarly, there is a Hadees in Bukhari Shareef that Hadhrath Umar Radhiyallahu Anhu was of the practice of interceding Hadhrath Abbas Radhiyallhu Anhu while asking Dua for rain during famine, saying ‘WE USED TO INTERCEDE THROUGH YOUR PROPHET AND YOU SENT US RAIN AND WE INTERCEDE THROUGH THE UNCLE OF YOUR NABI AND SEND US RAIN, ...THUS IT RAINED. (Bukhari Shareef Vol 1, Page 137). Please refer the books Ikhthilaf e Ummath, Takmila Fath’hul Mulhim and Roohul Ma’aani for further details. 4. Most of the Muslims in Saudi Arabia are the followers of Hadhrath Imam Ahmed bin Hambali Rahimahullah and they do not have any connection what so ever with the so called Ahl e Hadees i.e Ghair Muqallideen group. In contrast, in order to deceive the public they attribute their relationship with them. Allah knows best. Gul Zaman Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria Jamadis Saani 1428

Subject	QAZQA PRAYER
Question	I have questions about qaza namaz ( qaza namaz e umri) for more than a year. 1. is this compulsory to offer fix number of pryaers per day. E.g; do I need to offer 10-qaza namaz per day or I may offer according to my choice and feasiblity? (Like 3 qaza namaz in one day and 2 qaza namaz on another day as per I find time and easy for me). 2. Is this correct if I offer my qaza namaz per year wise e.g; I offer all fajar qaza namaz of year 1991 first and then offer all zuhar qaza namaz of 1991 and likewise all namaz (asar, magharb and eesha)? After completing all qaza namaz of year 1991 then I start offering qaza namz of year 1992 in the same sequence.Like faja qaza namaz of year 1992 first then zuhar of 1992 and so on. 3. It was mentioned in a Barelvi site that Namaz performed with Makrooh e Thahreemi should be repeated and the book Rad ul Mukhthar was quoted for reference but I read in a book written by a Deobandi scholar that the Namaz becomes valid with Makrooh e Thahreemi but the performer becomes a sinner and this book was written by Ikram ul Haq Sahib. Please be kind enough to send the correct answer. may ALLAH always smile upon you. amin
Answer	1,2 As for the performance of Qadh Namaz, methods mentioned by the questioner too are permissible. But the easier and the better way is to calculate the number of Namaz missed since attending adulthood, in actual if possible or with a probable guessing, and then to perform a Qadha of the Fardh Namaz of the time along with the timely Fardh Namaz, before or after it, by taking in to consideration the Makrooh time of praying. Niyyath for same could be kept, for example as, I am performing the first Zuhar Namaz which was missed by me or I am performing the latest Zuhar Namaz which was due upon me. 3 Let it be known that whatever Namaz performed with Makrooh e Thahreemi should be repeated within the time of that Namaz as per the unanimous opinion of the Jurists. But if it was not repeated during its time then there is difference of opinion among the jurists as to whether it is Musthahab or Wajib to repeat it later, and the accepted opinion here too is that it is Wajib to repeat it later too.

Question	I wanted to know that , 1- womens are not allowed to pray in the masjids, than why are they allowed to pray at Masjid-e-Haram and Masjid-e-Nabwi (s.a.w) 2-on what conditions is a women allowed to pray in a masjid
Answer	In the light of Ahadees it is more virtuous for women, according to Hanafi Mazhab, to perform Namaz at home than performing in any Masjid. It was from Masjid un Nabi that Hadhrath A’isha Radhiyallhu Anha and Hadhrath Umar Radhiyallahu Anhu and in conformity to them thousands of Sahaba Radhiyallahu Anhum had prevented women from going to perform Namaz. Therefore, due to the fear of Fitnah and the overall prevention of the Sahaba, it includes all the Masjids. As such the referred objection is futile whereas the permission for women to enter Haram is based on Thawaaf (circumambulation). Allah knows best.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum Mufthi Sahib! Is it permissible to perform Namaz behind Ghairi Muqallideen ( those who do not follow a Mazhab) or no? Specially when there is no other mosque...? Please send reply. Thanks. May Allah keep you all happy. Aameen Wahidullah Haddad
Answer	Generally, the present day Ghairi Muqallid people who call themselves to be Ahl e Hadees do contradict deliberately to Mazhabs specially to Hanafi, in provisions pertaining to non-unified matters; consider following (Taqleed) of predecessors to be Shirk; rebuke and find fault with the righteous predecessors; and, reject to accept Ijma e Ummath and Qiyas to be sources of Shari’a. If the concerned people who do not follow the Mazhabs too are of similar state then instead of performing Namaz behind them, should try to perform Namaz following another Imam who possesses correct concepts (Aqeeda) even though such a place is more far from one’s place.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum! Is Jumma Namaz Ja'iz in small localities and villages? Here all the Ulemas in interier Sindh give Fatwa as to Jumma Namaz in villages are Ja'iz and say that Allama Muhammad Hashim Thatvi had given fatwa to them in favour of having Jumma Namaz in villages. Shall we, Hanafis, perform Jumma Namaz in vellages due to the Fatwa of Allama thatvi? If it is not Ja'iz, then what is the population of a village that makes Ja'iz on them to conduct Jumma Namaz?
Answer	Let it be known that in reality Jumma is not correct in villages and it is correct in cities and towns. In our custom, city is a place where; the population is more or less four thousand; with a daily market that contains forty , fifty adjoining shops with all the daily living necessities available, for instance, footwear shop and textiles shop, cosmetics shop and tailoring shop, commodities merchant and milk shop. Also availability of Doctor and Hakeem, police station or cantonment and post office etc. etc., Also there should be different localities with different names in that city. Hence Jumma is valid in a in place where these conditions are fulfilled, and not otherwise. Further in such a circumstance, it will be necessitated to leave the Fardh Namaz of Zuhr and make arrangements to perform Nawafil in congregation which is prohibited and is a sin. As for the permission explained in having Jumma in villages in a Fatwa attributed to Allama Muhammad Hashim Tatwi Rahimahullah, let it be known that such a Fatwa is not available with us. If the questioner is able to e-mail a copy of the said fatwa after contacting the concerned Ulema e Kiram, perusal is possible on it. Allah knows best.

Answer	In situations as such, Namaz will be considered valid even by standing back to recite Qunooth, after going to Ruku’u or straightaway making Sajda Sahw at the end without reciting Qunooth after Ruku’u. However if Ruku’u is performed back and at the end of Namaz if Sajda Sahw too is performed, still, the Namaz is valid but should avoid doing so. Allah knows best.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum! I am a youth of 17 years and live in Pakistan. My humble request is that you guide me as to which FIQH is correct, Deobandi, Barelvi or Ahl e Hadees? All say that they are correct and I do not understand which one is correct. Please reply who is correct alongwith the proofs for it and also for theirs. May Allah give you and me the Thoufeeq to do good deeds and guide in correct path and bestow lofty ranks in Jannath.
Answer	Respected questioner It is necessary for you to consider and select as to which group or Jama'ath; whose Aqa'id and Nazriyath (doctrines and concepts) do not contain even the smell of fatal diseases such as Kufr and Shirk, stays distantly away from Bid'ath (Innovations) and Rasm o Riwaj (customs and traditions), practises only on Qur'an and Sunnath and follows and imitates Sahaba, Thabi'een,Thab e Thabi'een and the elders of Ahl e Sunnath wal Jama'ath and calls towards their mission. Unquestionably, they are on truth and should strive to adopt their company and nearness considering it as a source of fortune and Barakath. And according to our view they are the Ulema of Deoband whereas the Barelvis are keen and particular about Bid'ath (innovations) and Rusoomath (traditions) while those who are called Ahl e Hadis are in fact, people of no religion who disagree with the Salaf (pious predecessors) and are displeased with them. Therefore, it is necessary to abstain and avoid the people of these two groups. Allah knows best. Abdun Nafi'u Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria, 26 Safar 1426

Question	Assalam-o-aalikum. I had a desire since long to see Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.) and in quest of this I recited a lot of Darood (salah). Now I have seen a dream that I am going to Madina to visit the Masjid Nabvi and grave of the Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.). when I reached the Holy mosque I have seen a person who was lying on the ground and have a very bright beautiful face but without beard and moustaches. I was told that he is the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He shacked hand with me and enquired after my health. He also talked me more but I forgot. He (S.A.) was suffering from fever. I want to ask if I realy saw the Prophet(S.A.) in dream. If prophet may be without beard, if he(S.A.) can shake hand with a lady in dream. What this dream means (Taabir). Plz reply as soon as possible as I am very distressed.
Answer	Let it be known that seeing Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam in dream in whatever status is undoubtedly is seeing of Nabi Sallallhu Alaihi wa Sallam himself and if Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam was seen in a beautiful shape and form, it is an indicator of the better situation of the one who has seen and, if Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam was seen in a distressed situation then it is an indicator of the pollution and weakness in the mental and religious situation of the one who has seen Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam. Vision of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam is as of a mirror which reflects the situation of the looker. Seeing Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam in dream is true but neither Shar’i ruling is established nor any Shar’i ruling is made implemented on any person by it. Therefore, doing Musafaha (Shaking Hands) of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam with a woman in a dream is not contradictory to Shar’i rulings. Allah knows best.

As according to Ahnaf (Hanafi Maslak) do we have to exactly follow the Imam including Rafadain and spreading hands as in vitar at Haramain shareefain? OR any other Imam? Are takbeers for Eidain different in count at Haramain shareefain in comparison to Maslak Ahnaaf? JazakAllah BilKhair
Answer	1) In our times most of those who conduct prayers in Haramain Shareefain are followers of Imam Ahmed bin Hanbal Rahmathullahi Alaihi and it is permissible for a person of Hanafi Maslak to perform Fardh Namaz even without Rafa’a Yadain behind them, whereas it is not permissible to follow them in Witr Namaz if they pray with two Salams, but, it is necessary to perform it separately and, with one Salam. 2) There are different opinions with regard to the number of Thakbeer in Eid Namaz whereas it is Wajib among the Ahnaf to say six extra Thakbeer Allah knows best.

Question	Muhtharam Mufthi Sahib, Mufthi Sahib, I am in Sweden and here we have a muslim friend who is aproaching towards Athiesm. He says "I wish to see Allah. So how to believe when He is not visible to me?" What he says is that "how can I believe who controls the Sun and the Moon" etc etc. and use to say this type of things. Please reply with reference to what he says. Send the reply as soon as possible
Answer	Let it be known that invisibility of a thing is not a proof for its non existence since there are many things which are although not visible but ascertain their existence through signs and symptoms. For example we are unable to see the blowing of wind but due to the movements of leaves, feeling of cold etc. any sane person, but children and even non-Muslims admit that this is due to the blowing of wind. Movement of leaves etc. are evidence to the availability of wind whereas it is not visible. Similarly the presence of Rooh in human body is accepted but yet, we are unable to see it in spite of its presence in the body, and only with signs and symptoms like quietude and gestures, sleep and awake, seeing and listening etc. etc. we acknowledge it. Same is the case in regard to invisible things and matters like pain, fever, intellect, vision, sound etc.etc they are not visible but acknowledged through signs and symptoms. Without any doubt the subject of the lofty existence of Allah Tha’ala too is similar He is Wara’ul Wara’a and our eyes fail in seeing Him but with the help of rational and scholarly proofs and different phenomenal things of the universal system His lofty existence is established. As such, to understand this fact clearly set your glance on the universe and ponder. You will see a strong system and organized order in the arrangements. Does not this organized system and balanced order give proof of a powerful organizer? Changing of day and night due to the revolving of planets, emergence of seasons on their appropriate times, human being’s initial stage as a drop of semen in mother’s womb, transforming same into blood clot and flesh and the emergence of the physical structure of the body, ability of listening and seeing in it, and making animals subordinate to human being , dissimilar situations of people, some employers and some employees, some rich and some poor, some happy and some worried etc.etc. all these are the arrangements of an all powerful organizer and without doubt He is the Zaath of Allah Tha’ala. Therefore it is necessary for the friend of the enquirer to abstain from the aforesaid thoughts and also to repent and make Thowba and Isthighfar. Allah knows best.

Question	34862/34958 Dear Sir,Salaam Alekum,Through your site I want to know the meaning of word \" Mollana\" used by so many Alam-e-Din in sub-continent.As per my knowledge in Sura Baqara Last Ayyat it is written \" Inta Mollana funsoorna allal qoom-el-kafareen.Please give me this answer is this word not for Allah in the qoute Ayyat? if yes then why these peoples use this word before their name either they don\'t know or there are some other meaning of this word?I hope that you will reply me soon.for reply you can use urdu or english. Best regards, Muhammad Athar Malik
Answer	Let it be known that MOULA is a word in Arabic language. In the literal meaning it stands for Rab- Sustainer, Madadgar-Protector, Aaqa-Master, Sardar-Chief, Rehnuma- Guide, Ghulam-Slave and Nowker-Srevant etc and it is used in many opposite meanings, and NA is the pronoun for the third person plural term which is joined with the word MOULA. Likewise the meaning of these two, sounds Our Master, Our Chief, Our Guide, Our Servant etc. and determined by the pattern of each composition, according to the occasion and taking into consideration the status of the personality,whereas the Ayath in Sura e Baqara (ANTHA MOULANA) is meant for The Doer in the meaning of The One upon whom the Matters are Submitted. In Ahadees e Mubaraka ex. In Saheeh ul Bukhari (528/1) it is mentioned that Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam has said referring to Hadhrath Zaid Radhiyallau Anhu ANTHA AKHOONA WA MOULANA ( You are our brother and Moula). Also a Hadees is narrated (in Mirquaath 472/10) about Hadhrath Ali Radhiyallahu Anhu that a group of people came to him and called him ASSALAMU ALAIKA YA MOULANA (May Salam be upon you our Moula!). In these instances the former is in the meaning of FREED SLAVE and in the latter is in the meaning of CHIEF and LEADER and, for the learned Ulemas generally the word Moulana is used in the meaning of Chief and Leader as a matter of respect. Therefore it is necessary to refrain from undue confusions and doubts. Allah knows best. Muhammad Ramzan Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria 18 Rabee’ul Awwal 1428

Question	Assalamu Alaikum, Hope from Allah that you are in good health and may He keep you in good health. The question is whether Hazrath Ali had pledged (Bai'ath) allegience with the previous 3 Khaleefas or no? Please quote references from Qur'an, Hadees and History and reply in both the circumstances. I asked this because I wanted to have knowledge about this and so far I could not find from anybody. You will be grately appreciated if you please reply this question.
Answer	Yes! it is clearly mentioned in explicit authentic Ahadees and books of History that Hadhrath Ali Radhiyallahu Anhu had made allegiance (Bai ath) with earlier three Khaleefas. Further it is mentioned by Hadhrath Ali Radhiyallahu Anhu himself about taking Bai ath. Refer THAKMILA 102/6, THAREEKHUL ISLAM LIZ ZAHABI 641/3,639/3. Allah knows best.

Question	Salaam, my question is,what our shireyat says about passing PARA(QURAN)to neighbors to read for someone\'s ESAL-e-SAWAB,also distribute quantity of TASBIHAT(exp:1000 time kalma)to read for ESAL-e-SAWAB.Please answer me in detail so i can come out from confuession.Salaam o alaikum
Answer	The person who does any sort of Ibadath, whether physical or monetary or even verbal, which brings Sawab for the doer, can gift such Sawab to any soul whether dead or alive and the recitation of Qur’an which indeed a commendable, and an Ibadath of lot of rewards too folds in this category and In Ahadees it is clearly mentioned about its rewards. However, confining Isal e Sawab only for this particular method and to make congregation a must in this connection and to realize it as more rewardable are not at all correct and it is necessary to abstain from it.

Subject	MASJID contributions
Question	Assalamu Alaikum! Hazrath I want to know that there are some people who beg in Bazars and near Signal Posts; 1. Is it correct to beg? 2. Is it correct to collect contributions (Chanda) or beg within the Masjid? What does Qur'an and Hadees say about this? Jazakallah
Answer	Let it be known that it is not permissible to ask or beg at all without a dire necessity. Dire necessity means that if not asked in such a situation there could be an apparent risk of destruction of oneself or horrible loss due to severe hunger; and in that hard situation it is allowed to ask to the extent of saving oneself from destruction. And in Ahadees e Mubaraka severe warnings have been mentioned about those people who ask/beg without a dire need i.e. in the day of Qiyamath there faces will be filled with scratches and overshadowed with agony. Therefore it is necessary to be very cautious about this. Same is the ruling with regard to begging inside Mosques whereas within the Masjid raising funds for necessities of the Masjid is allowed only when it does not necessitate to move in front of those who are performing Namaz or leap over their necks. Or else, there should be an arrangement for such things after completion of Namaz . If the necessities of the Masjid and persuasion etc. to offer funds for same could be publicized and people by themselves come and give, then such a set up will be much more better. Allah knows best.

Subject	SUICIDE
Question	Muhtharam Janab Mufthi Sahib, What I wish to ask is that, if committing sucide is Haram, then is it possible or not, that the one who commits sucide be forgiven after death? Will the Sawab of the Aamals done on his behalf (Eesal e Sawab) reaches him or no? And whatever the Sadaqa e Jaria he would have done reaches him or no?
Answer	Committing suicide is although based on a very grave sin and a Haram act and in Ahadees e Mubaraka there are very severe punishments mentioned for a such a person, but despite all this if he is a Muslim then it is hoped from Allah the Most High that He would forgive him even though after suffering from punishments for a very lengthy period of time. Similarly his own Sadaqa e Jari’a and Isal e Sawab made on behalf of him too would reach him. Allah knows best. Muhammad Nu’man Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria, 26 Rabee us Saani 1428

Question	Janab Mufthi Sahib, Hope you are keeping fine. My question is that what is the level of status should we keep about the personality of Yazeed because his evil work and mal-treatment to Ahl e Baith and playing with the blood of this Nobles (Ridhwanullahi Tha'ala Alaihim Ajmaeen) is well known to all? With all these, still there prevails a doubt in the Aalam e Islam in this context and quite a number of people call him as their Ameer ul Mumineen despite the fact that he has done great conspiracies against Islam. I hope that you will give a comprehensive answer for my question>
Answer	The consensus of opinion of Ahle Sunnath wal Jama’ath regarding Yazeed is that neither should he be called Khalifa e Rashid giving a rank above his status nor should he be scolded, reproached or cursed since his death with Kufr is not established through any unchallengeable evidence. Therefore one should maintain silence with regard to his Kufr and also abstain from criticizing Hadhrath Husain Radhiyallahu Anhu calling him a rebel, but the safety and precaution is in not indulging in arguments based on the differences emerged during the time of Sahaba Radhiyallahu Anhum and Thabi’een and observing silence is better in these matters.

Question	What my question is that why is a Muslim who leaves the religion of Islam and becomes a Christian considered deserved death whereas punishment for leaving Islam is nowhere mentioned in the Quran as death, instead it is written that there is no compulsion in Deen. But in spite of this if a person leaves Islam and accepts the religion of Christianity, why is he killed and under which law? And is it Islamic to enforce the Law of Irthidad as it is being discussed nowadays in Pakistan? Kindly send the reply in the light of Qur'an and Sunnah
Answer	Searching proofs for each problem through only Qur’an e Kareem is becoming a common phenomena nowadays whereas there are four sources of origins as proofs in the sacred Shari’a, i.e. 1. Qur’an e Kareem 2. Sunnath 3.Ijma e Ummath (Consensus of the Ummath) 4. Qiyas e Saheeh (Correct Anology). If a matter is established through any one of these sources then it is acceptable in Shari’a and becomes compulsory for a Muslim to act upon it. Likewise in spite of explaining in detail the evils and harms of apostacy and the null and void state of all the Ibadath of an apostate, yet the Qur’an e Kareem does not mention a particular punishment for an apostate. But without any doubt it is established through authentic Ahadees that the apostate is sentenced to death and this death penalty has been remained a matter of consensus of the Ummath from the time of Sahaba e Kiram upto this date and no different opinion is found from anybody in this regard. Fuqahas (Jurists) have unanimously agreed that in Dar ul Islam, apostacy is one of the major crimes and penalty of which is death. Further, non-availability of a worldly penalty in Qur’an e Kareem for a particular crime is not a proof to say that there is no penalty in this world for such a crime as in the case of consuming liquor where Qur’an e Kareem declares it as Haram but does not mention any penalty along with it. And non-revealing a penalty does not necessitate that there is no punishment for it, contrarily, Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam has imposed 'Hadd' upon the consumer of liquor and ordered to strike lashes. In the same way although the worldly punishment of an Apostate is not mentioned in Qur’an e Kareem yet it is established through authentic Ahadees. And to argue with this Ayath that there is no death penalty for apostacy is incorrect and plainly based on lack of understanding because there is not even a sign of permissibility of apostacy in this Ayath, instead, the ruling of a Kafir who has been a Kafir from the inception is mentioned in this Ayath that there is no compulsion for him to embrace Islam. If there is an effort to implement the Law of Irthidad in Pakistan, make the complete details of it available to us so that the Shar’i ruling on it could be brought into light after pondering over it.

Question	ASSALAM-U-ALAIKUM I WOULD JUST LIKE TO ASK ABOUT HAZRAT MAIHDI KHALIFATE ULLHA THAT IN ONE HADITH IT IS WRITTEN THAT HE WILL COME FROM MAKKA AND IN OTHER THERE IS WRITTEN HE WILL COME FROM KHURASAN AND THERE WILL BE A GHAZWA WHICH IS CALLED GHAZWA-E-HIND SO PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT IS THE TRUE STORY I\'LL BE VERY THANKFUL TO YOU.
Answer	What is explained in this context is that Imam Mahdi will be born and brought up in Madina and people would pledge allegiance on his hand in Makkah in a place between Hajr e Aswad and Maqam e Ibraheem and then he will immigrate towards Baith al Muqaddas. This is established in most of the Ahadees like in a Narration mentioned in Abu Dawood Shareef whereas there are other Narrations in which some differences and clearances there of, are explained in detail. Refer Abu Dawood vol2 p233)……… Hadhrat Umm Salma (Radhiallaahu Anha) reports that the blessed Rasul (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'There will be differences at the time of the death of a Khalifah. Then a man of the inhabitants of Madinah will flee to Makkah Mukarramah. Some people will come to him and take him out though he will be unwilling. Then, they will pledge allegiance to him between the corners of Ka'bah (Hajar-e-Aswad) and Maqaame-e-Ebraahim. An Army from Syria will be sent to fight him (Mahdi). They will sink to the ground in an open plain ground between Makkah Mukarramah and Madinah Munawwarah. When this will happen, the eminent saints of Syria and Iraq will come and take allegiance to him........................" (Abu Dawood pg.233, vol2) ……….whereas Imam Mahdi is mentioned in a Narration relating to Khurasan in Mishkath, (p 471) Hadhrath Sowbaan Radhiyallahu Anhu narrates that Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam said If you see the army of black flag emerging from the direction of Khurasaan, join them. For, verily, in them will be the (Nusrath and Ijabath of) Khaleefa of Allah, Mahdi. Commenting under this Hadees Hadhrath Mulla Ali Qari Rahimahullah writes in Mirqat that there is a possibility that the word ‘BLACK’ could be an allusion to the huge army of Muslims which would emerge from the direction of Khurasaan and it is obvious that it would be the army of Haris and Mansoor, i.e., come towards the people of Flag, welcome them and accept the order that their Ameer imposes ( for, the Khaleefa of Allah, Mahdi will be among them), it means that they would be helped and accepted. It doesn’t contradict to say that the initial emergence of Hadhrath Imam Mahdi would be only from Haramain Shareefain. Summary of the statement of Mulla Ali Qari Rahimahullah is that Hadhrath Imam Mahdi himself will not be present within the army of Khurasaan but the army would be proceeding to Haramain Shareefain to help him. Therefore this narration doesn’t make a negation to those narrations mentioning that the emergence of Hadhrath Imam Mahdi would be in Haramain Shareefain. Also refer a Narration of Abu Dawood Shareef (vol 2, p 233) aiding the statement of Mulla Ali Qari Rahimahulla. It is narrated by Hilal bin Umar who says that “I heard Hadhrath Ali Karramallahu Wajhahu saying that Rasoolullah Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam said ‘ a person named Haris Haras, ahead of whose army will be a person named Mansoor , would come forward from beyond the river to help the Ahl e Baith of Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam (i.e. Imam Mahdi), just as the Qureish helped Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam. It is compulsory upon each Muslim to help him.’ Therefore it is understood that there is no contradiction in both of these Ahadees. Meaning of those Ahadees which mention about Makka is that the emergence of Hadhrath Mahdi would be from Makka and the meaning of the Ahadees which mention about Khurasaan is that the arrival of the Army from Khurasaan to help Hadhrath Imam Mahdi. As for the Battle of Hind, reference are available in Ahadees e Mubaraka about the occurrence of it. Allah knows best. Muhammad Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria 22 Jamadis Saani 1428.

Question	Asalam o alikum,Wa\'rehmatulah,Wabarakatuh, plz reply these questions ... jazakAllah. 1. In jannat ... is Hoor muslim? will there be some religion in jannat? 2. Allah is the Most Forgiver and He can forgive anybody. If He forgives a non-muslim and when he enters the Jannath then can a Muslim HOOR stay with a non-muslim? If no, then what will happen to the non-muslim and what will he get? 3. Can muslims women live with non-muslims men (marriage) 4. Can muslims in jannat meet muslims womens? I mean if some one hope to meet our mothers (ummahat ul momeneen)?
Answer	1. Allah Rabbul Izzath has created Jannath for Muslims and the believers whereas He has created Jahannum for disbelievers. Therefore the Hoors too will be Muslims and the Mazhab in Jannath will be Islam, the Mazhab of Ahl e Sunnath wal Jama'ath. 2. Although Allah is capable of doing so but He would not do so and He has already announced in Qur'an Shareef thus; ALLAH NEVER FORGIVES HE WHO ASSOCIATES PARTNERS WITH HIM AND FORGIVES THE OTHERS WHOM HE WISHES and it is mentioned in Hadees e Qudsi too that I HAVE BANNED JANNATH FOR THE DISBELIEVERS. Therefore it is necessary to refrain from wasting ones time and thoughts from such type of futile questions. 3. It is not permissible for a Muslim woman to marry a non-Muslim. 4. Yes, this is also possible. Allah knows best. Muhammad Ghaffar Darul Iftha Jamia Binnoria 24 Ramadhan 1428

Answer	1.

Question	hi i want to ask one question..my frnd told me that in quran it iz written that in jannat ther will be GHILMAAN(beautiful young boys)..he told me that they ll be available for sex...plz guide me...
Answer	The matter mentioned by the enquirer’s friend is based on his lack of knowledge and ignorance. Homosexuality is Haram in the Shari’a and since it is against the wisdom and nature, a gentleman with sound instinct would not like this act and he would feel scornful and disgust whereas Jannath is free from such type of things which would create scornfulness and disgust in one’s disposition. Also there would not be these types of improper and absurd ideas in Jannath , therefore, rather than wandering over such nonsenses it is extremely necessary to take care in remembering Allah and engaging in Ibadaath, and what is to be happened there, would come across automatically.

Answer	The Aqeeda of Ahle Sunnath wal Jama'ath is that all the Anbiyas ( Prophets) Alaihimus Salathu was Salaam are Ma'soom (saved from sins) whereas Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam being the leader of all the Anbiyas it is a Sin but could lead into astray to even think about a mistake or a sin from such a personality.

If this is false then can you explain to me if his parents were already Muslims (or faithfuls of their time)? Jazakallah Khair
Answer	Let it be known that sayings of the learned Ulemas about the Eeman of the blessed parents of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam are different due to different narrations in this regard. Since the subject matter is so subtle and delicate, observing silence in this matter is (considered as) more safe among the researchers of Ahnaf. Also it is the safe and peaceful implementation. Therefore engaging in these subjects and creating conflicts and disturbances could tantamount to ruin one’s Eeeman and to injure the feelings of the believers unnecessarily whereas these are subjects about which no question will be asked either in Qabr or in Hashr. Therefore it is necessary to avoid engaging in such things and wasting one’s time. Allah knows best. Qamar Ali Abbasi, Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria, Karachi. 8 Sha’ban 1430

Question	Dear sir i just want to know that, what is "BAIT" and what is its importance in the Islam?
Answer	Bai'ath infact is a covenant between the mentor-the spiritual teacher (Murshid) and a student (Mureed). Murshid undertakes to teach the Mureed the way of leading the life according to the commandments of Allah Tha'ala and the Mureed undertakes to practise certainly whatever is taught by the Murshid. Bai'ath is neither Fardh nor Wajib and even without it, under the guidance of the Murshid the purpose of self-rectification could be achieved. However since Bai'ath is a Sunnath of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam and his (Sahaba) companions, and by a covenant, the feeling of responsibilities of both parties become stronger, there is ample Barakath and convenience in achieving the objective. In short, what is necessary and compulsory is self-rectification, and not the Bai'ath however since it is a source of achieving self-rectification it is necessary to observe it. Allah knows best.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum Placing some questions in your presence. Please answer me and May allah reward you. Please give the Urdu translation of whatever Hadees you quote. My small daughter plays with dolls at home. Is it permissible to keep dolls at home and play with them? Many people say that doll is similar to an animated object hence it is not correct to keep at home and some people say this also that it is established through Hadhrath A’isha Radhiyallahu Anha that she too had used to play with dolls. Upto which age it is ordered to breast feed the daughter? Is it permissible to use the medical insurance card to avail medical facility if card received through the company. This is a facility from the company and you need not do any payment either to the company or to the insurance people. The method of this is that whenever you happen to go to a hospital for any reason, show the medical insurance card and you don’t need to pay anything to anybody. If a person has missed Namaz for 10 years after it became Fardh on him and now if he wants to make Qadha on them, is it allowed for him to leave the existing Sunnath e Muakkada and perform Qadha of the missed Fardh or Wajib Namaz? (for example, in place of 4 Raka’ath Sunnath before Zhuhr, pray 4 Raka’ath {of former Qadha Zhuhr} and after the Jama’ath of Zhuhr, pray 2 Raka’ath {of former Qadha Fajr} in place of the 2 Raka’aath Sunnath after the Fardh Zhuhr.) Upon whom should Sadaqa money be spent?
Answer	1. If the doll is only for the purpose of playing as a toy, although there is an allowance in buying and selling or keeping in the house yet it is better to avoid it. And if it for the purpose of beauty and decoration then it is not permissible to keep them. 2. Without any dispute it is permissible to breast feed the child up to the age of 2 years whereas there is allowance to breast feed up to 2 1/2 years in a state of dire necessity and not after that. 3. If the said medical insurance card is issued from the connected company of the inquirer and permission or wages of the employees are not counted in issuing it then in such circumstance it is permissible for the employees to utilize it in availing of medical facilities. However it is not correct for the company management to enter into such agreement with the insurance company due to which it becomes a sinner. 4. It is not correct to leave the existing Sunnath in order to pray Qadha Namaz. Anyway, excluding the Makrooh time whenever time permits should concentrate on performing the Qadha Namaz and should make Thowba and Isthighfar for delaying. 5. Naf'l Sadaqath can be given to wealthy, poor, muslim, non-muslim, relations, strangers and all whereas Wajib Sadaqath should be should be given only to the poor who are entitled for it.

Question	Dear Mufti Sb, A trader mentioned the price of a commodity for sale as Rs. 100 on cash and Rs. 120 on six monthly installments. What is the differential of Rs. 20 over the period of six months. I am an accounting and finance student and I feel this differential as an interest over the investment of the seller blocked in this transaction for six months (but the calculation of differential is not with a fixed rate just an absolute amount). Need your kind comments on the issue, is this trading of installment and cash price halal/haram? Regards,
Answer	In the aforesaid method, selling an item which is sold at 100.00 on spot payment for 120.00 on deferred payment is permissible in Shari'a and also the additional amount of 20% does not become interest if the transaction is taken place according to the the conditons mentioned hereunder. 1. It has to be decided in the first sitting where the contract is executed that the transaction will be deferred and the payments will be on instalments. 2. Amount of each instalment should be decided. 3. Total number of instalments too be decided. 4. Penalty etc. for any late payment on instalments should not be a condition.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum Mufthi Sahib, We make Dua that you keep finer with the concept of Thowheed. Can we say say Assalamu Alikum to non-Muslims before starting to talk any how it is a prayer for security. But some people say that Salam should be not said to non-Muslims in the Islamic way. We request you to please rectify us in this matter in the light of Qur'an and Sunnath whether we should or not say Assalamu Alaikum to non-muslims.
Answer	Should not say Salam in the beginning to non-muslims. If he says Salam then should reply with just Wa Alaikum. Although some respected Fuqahas have explained an allowance to say Salam in case one happened to go to them for some necessity, yet, what is preferred is that, instead of saying Assalamu Alaikum, those common greetings, should be used which are normally used in the society when one meets another and also take care of the occasion and the environment.

Question	assalam o alaikum, mufti sahab ek shaqs ki 3 saal ya is se ziyada ki namazien qaza hain ab woh taib ho ker in ki qaza ada kerna chahta hai to kya is ka koi khas tareeqa hai. ishi tarha qaza rozey aur sajda tilawat ada kerne ka kya tareeqa hai. agar is shaqs ko apni namazon,rozon aur sajda tilawat ka sahi tarha maloom na ho k kitne din ya saal k faraiz o wajibat ada kerne hain to aisey mein ye kya kare. Assalamu Alaikum! Mufthi Sahib, A person has Qadha Namaz for 3 or more years and now he has repented and wishes to perform them. Is there a particular way of performing them? Likewise, what is the way of keeping Qadha Fasting and doing Sajda Thilawath? If a person does not know exactly about his Namaz, Fasting and Sajda Thilawath, how many years Fara'idh and Wajibaath should he perform as Qadha and actually what should he do?
Answer	There is no particular way mentioned for performing the missed Ibadaath, neither the performance of same are fixed with a particular time, rather, except on Makrooh times and prohibited days, performance of missed Salaath and observance of missed Fastings can be done whenever one wishes. However, the easiest way of performing Qadha Salath is to perform one or any convenient number of Qadha Salath of the particular Salath of the Waqth (time) when the Fardh Salath of the particular Waqth is performed. In case of uncertainty as to the number of Waqth missed, Qadha Salath be performed continuously in a precautious manner and when it is confirmed that the missed Salath would have become completed then performing of Qadha Salath be terminated, but it is essential that the order of the Qadha Salath are maintained. Therefore the method of keeping Niyyat (intention) is, for Ex: while performing the Qadha of Fajr, Niyyat should be kept thus: “I make intention to perform the first Fajr Salath which was due on me”. In this way do on every Salath. As for the Fasting and Sajda Thilawah, start to perform them according to a careful calculation with the intention of performing either the first or the last Fasting and Sajda Thilawath due. Once it is ascertained that the missed number is completed, terminate doing so. Allah knows best. Muhammad Saqib Darul Iftha, Jamia Binoria 2 Muharram 1426

Question	Assalamu Alaikum! 1. Please inform the Shari'a stand of keeping the trousers above the ankle. 2. On which curcumstances relaxation is given to keep the trouser below the ankle? 3. Please mention the references, text and the translation.
Answer	According to the Shari’a it is Makrooh e Thahreemi to leave the trousers hang below the ankles purposely. Severe punishments are recorded in Ahadees e Mubaraka in this context. However if there is a valid excuse then there may be an allowance in Shari’a, but reliabale Ulemas should be contacted and elucidated of the nature of such excuses. It is narrated by Hadhrath Abu Hurairah Radhiyallahu Anhu that Rasoolullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, on the day of Qiyaamat, Allah Tha’ala will not look at a person who drags his garment below his ankles with pride. (Bukhari Vol 2 P 860, 861) Hadhrath Abu Saeed Khudri Radhiyallahu Anhu narrates “I heard Rasoolulllahi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam saying,’ Garment of Mu’min (Believer) is, up to the half of his calf and if it remains between the half of his calf and the ankle there is no Sin on it, and whatever is below, that will be in the Hell’, and he repeated this three times”. Further, on the day of Qiyamath, Allah Tha’ala will not look at a person who drags his garment with pride. Allah knows best. Muhammad Ismail. Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria. 24 Muharram 1429

Question	Assalamu Alaikum Is it compulsory (Fardh) for women to go to Masjid and perform Namaz? Is there any Ayath in Qur'an by-which it is established that it is necessary for women to go to Masjid and perform Namaz? If Allah has commanded so in Qur'an then why do the respected Ulemas dislike the women going to Masjid and performing Namaz? In CDs of some Madrasas here in Canada (Specially of Dr Farhath Hashimis Al Huda International) it is being taught to women that Allah's command is there in Qur'an that women should perform Namaz in Masjid. Please guide us in this regard by answering in detail
Answer	Neither in any Ayath of Qur’an e Kareem nor in any authentic, clear and unquestionable Hadees it is mentioned that it is compulsory for them to perform Salath in Masjids and non-executed otherwise. Whereas there are many Ahadees available prohibiting women from going to Masjid and performing Salath, and encouraging them to perform Salath in the most covered and enclosed part of the house citing it to be excellent. And if the concerned Doctor can highlight the Ayaath of Qur’an e Kareem in connection with the order arranged, perusal can be done on them too. Allah knows best.

Question	Is it permissible to conduct Jumma Prayers in a small village which has been continuing since long? Please solve my problem. CLARIFICATION:::>>>> Assalamu Alaikum I received your email. Moulana Sahib our village is very small and there is only a primary school and neither a court nor a bazar. Please solve me this problem since many people are waiting for the reply. May Allah reward you amply.
Answer	In reality Jumma is not correct in villages and it is correct in cities and towns. In our custom, city is a place where; the population is more or less four thousand; with a daily market that contains forty , fifty adjoining shops with all the daily living necessities available, for instance, footwear shop and textiles shop, cosmetics shop and tailoring shop, commodities merchant and milk shop. Also availability of Doctor and Hakeem, police station or cantonment and post office etc. etc., Also there should be different localities with different names in that city. Hence Jumma is valid in a in place where these conditions are fulfilled, and not otherwise. As for the concerned village, if it is not a locality of a City or not in the surrounding of it, performing Jumma is not permissilbe according to Shari'a since the necessary conditions are not available. Hence it is necessary to abstain from it, failing which, will necessitate to leave the Fardh Namaz of Zuhr and make arrangements to perform Nawafil in congregation which is, indoubtedly, prohibited and is a sin.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum Got information with regard to Qadha Namaz from Ulemas. One said that in every occasion the Niyyath of the first Namaz should be kept. Another Alim said that it is not correct to keep the Niyyath of the first Namaz whenever the Qadha Namaz is performed, instead, to keep Niyyath that, performing the Qadha Namaz according to the order of Qadha? Please inform the correct answer.
Answer	Yes, it is correct to have, while performing each missed Fardh Salath, for ex; the Niyyath of the first missed Zuhar Salath. Likewise may have the Niyyath of the last missed Salath too. However this is possible when missed Salath are excessive in number or unable to remember the correct order of Salath. Otherwise the order of the Salath and the Niyyath accordingly is necessary.

Question	A person who is connected to the Hanafi School of Thought at times perform Nafl Namaz with Raf'a Yadain (Raising hands) and Jalsa e Isthirahath (Sitting before standing for 2nd or 3rd Raka'ath). Purpose is to practice according to those Ahadees also. His intention and the way of practising is proper or should he stay within the limit of his Fiqhi School of Thought irrespective of Fardh or Nafl?
Answer	Preference is given in the light of evidences of Sharia, not to raise hands other than in Thakbeer e Thahreema while performing Salath. The reason behind this is that in the outset, Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam used to raise hands and, as and when the orders of observing tranquility in Namaz descended raising hands in Namaz too was abandoned to the extent that during the last stages of life of Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam, such Namaz too are established where he didn't perform Raf'a Yadain at all, except in Thkbeer e Thahreema. And there are some instances where prohibition of Raf'a Yadain too is recorded. Therefore, it is not correct for the concerned person of Hanafi School of Thought to do Raf’a Yadain in spite of having strong evidence to omit Raf’a Yadain irrespective of Fardh or Nafl Salath. Hence, it is necessary for the concerned person to refrain from his practice and act, in the light of Hadees e Mubaraka according to the Hanafi School of Thought. Some reference of Hadees are given hereunder. Narration of Hadhrath Jabir bin Samurah Radhiyallahu Anhu in Muslim, Vol 1, p 181. Narration of Hadhrath Bara’a bin Aazib Radhiyallahu Anhu in Abu Da’ood, Vol 1, p 109. Narration of Hadhrath Alqama Radhiyallahu Anhu in Thirmizi, Vol 1, p 35. Allah knows best.

Subject	PRAYER DUA
Question	Through which Hadees, the collective Dua after the Jama'th Namaz is established? Muthi Rasheed Sahib (of Dharb e Mu'min) has written in his book "Namaz ke bad Dua" that it is Bid'ath and he establishes that it is a Bid'ath in all the four Imams.
Answer	Making Dua by Imam, Muqtadi (Follower) or the individual after the conclusion of Fardh Salath, and raising hands while making Dua , which are Sunnath e Musthahabba (desirable Sunnath) are established through the Ahadees of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam and commentary of Fiqh(Islamic jurisprudence). Hence if the Imam and the Muqthadi both practise this Sunnath it would subsequently become a collective action which is permissible. However making Dua silently is excellent since it is encouraged in Qur’an and Sunnath. Even it is permissible for the sake of teaching if the Imam makes Dua loudly and the followers say Ameen. And there is no harm in it according to Shari’a since, making Dua after the Salath; raising hands in Dua; saying Ameen; and, at the end of Dua wiping the face with both hands are all established through blessed Ahadees. Therefore to consider it as wrong and say it as an evil innovation (Bid’ath e Sayyi’a) is not correct. However, the present day practice of collective Dua where Imam and the followers both make Dua together; together they begin, with Imam/Muazzin saying loudly the opening words such as ALHAMDU LILLAHI etc. and together they finish, due to which, the Muqtadi is supposed to wait for Imam’s Dua and, is unable to finish his Dua, and in case he finishes his Dua before the Dua of Imam it is considered among the people as an improper act. In certain places, those who do not say Ameen or other words in reply to the audible Dua of Imam in a raised voice are looked down upon, in some other places the Muqtadi, after completing his Salath is supposed to be seated, awaiting the conclusion of the Dua of Imam. These activities have no least connection what so ever with the pristine Shari’a and neither any proof is found for such actions in the golden era which is famous for (encompassing) all the goodness. Therefore all these scenarios are invented and (Bid’ath) innovations, whereas Mufthi Rasheed Ahmed Sahib Rahimahullah too declares these particular scenarios as Bid’ath. And it is necessary to refrain from them. Summary is that, the collective Dua of Imam and Muqtadi is a resultant act and not the purpose. Therefore to try to make it longer than the main Dua and to consider it as essential is not correct, rather, Imam too has the choice to make Dua as much as he wishes and the Muqtadi too has the choice. In this Dua they are not dependent upon each other. As such if Muqtadi wishes he may make a brief Dua and go, or finish alongwith Imam’s Dua or make lengthy Dua after the completion of Imam’s Dua. All these mehods are permissible and adopting any of this method would validate the Sunnat e Mustahabba act after the Fardh Salath. Allah knows best.

Question	I am from the Thableegh Jama'ath and of Deoband Maslak but in my mind I get the question that the people of the land where the Holy Mecca is,do Rafa e Yadain (Raising hands in Namaz) and why not we do whereas Ahl e Hadees too do Rafa e Yadain? Is this matter established in the light of any Hadees or no? Please inform me.
Answer	In the foremost it should be understood that the difference of opinion with regard to raising or not raising hands twice or more than twice in Namaz does not pertaining to the validity or invalidity of Namaz. On the contrary, it is only about the superiority of the Namaz and evidences are found in Ahadees e Mubaraka for both these ways of performing Namaz. The reason behind this is that in the outset, hands were raised in more than these two places and as and when the orders of observing tranquility in Namaz descended raising hands in Namaz too was abandoned to the extent that during last stages of life of Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam such Namaz too are established where he didn't perform Raf'a Yadain except in Thkbeer e Thahreema. And there are some instances where prohibition of Raf'a Yadain too is recorded. Now that, although it is permissible to perform Namaz in either way, yet in the basis of the following evidences and further evidences similar to them, according to the Ahnaf it is excellent to omit Raf'a Yadain except in Thakbeer e Thahreema and preference is accrued for it. Therefore it is necessary for the questioner to follow his Maslak without any doubt or hesitation and avoid falling into commotion just by seeing the Ghair Muqallidin whereas, in Makka Mukarrama, there are large numbe of people available who do not make Raf'a Yadain. And in Makka Mukarrama people of different Mazahib have become Imams in different periods and for a long period of time, Imaams from the Hanafi Mazhab too used to conduct Namaz. Some of the explicit authentic Ahadees and Ahadees of Hasan category where it is mentioned not to make Raf'a Yadain are given below for further reference.

Question	Are there Ahadees available where-in Rafa e Yadain is not mentioned? If so please quote complete references of them.
Answer	Yes. there are number of Ahadees available with regard to omission of Raf'a Yadain except in Thakbeer e Thahreema. Ulemas have declared it as excellent and preferable due to more conformity with Qur'an, more authenticity and for the reason that it had been the practice of last stages of Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam. Clarification is thus; that in the initial stages Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam used to do Raf'a Yadain in every standing and sitting posture to the extent that he even did so before and after going to Sajda. Consequently, as and when the orders of observing tranquility in Namaz descended raising hands in Namaz too was abandoned gradually to the extent that during the last stages of life of Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam such Namaz too are established where he didn't perform Raf'a Yadain except in Thkbeer e Thahreema. And there are some instances where strict prohibition of Raf'a Yadain too is recorded as per the narration of Sahih Muslim. Therefore, according to the Ahnaf, omitting of Raf'a Yadain except in Thakbeer e Thahreema is Masnoon and excellent, and, based on evidences, preference is accrued for it. Given below are some Ahadees for further references. In Thirmizi Vol 1, p 59 :Hadhrath Abdullah bin Mas'ood Radhiyallahu Anhu says, "Should I not show you how Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam performed Namaz?" and went on performing Namaz. Only in Thakbeer e Thahreema he did Raf'a Yadain. Imam Thirmizi says that this Hadees is Hasan and many of the Sahabas of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam and Thabi'een and this is the saying of Sufiyan Thowri and of people of Kufa. In Muslim Vol 1, p 181 : It is narrated by Jabir bin Samurah Radhiyallahu Anhu that Rasooulullah Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam came towards us (while we were performing Namaz and we were doing Raf'a Yadain. In a detestable manner he said) Why do I see you all raising hands in Namaz like the tails of wild horses. Be quiet and tranquil in Namaz. In Abu Daud Vol 1, p 109 – It is narrated from Hadhrath Bara'u Radhiyallahu Anhu that Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam used to raise his hands up to the ears when he begins to perform Namaz and does not repeat it. In Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaiba Vol 1, p 237 – Mujahid Rahimahullah says "I peformed Namaz behind Hadhrath Ibn Umar Radhiyallahu Anhu he did not do Raf'a Yadain anywhere except in the First Thakbeer of Namaz". In A'ala us Sunan Vol 3 p 53 - Hadhrath Abdullah bin Mas'ood Radhiyallahu Anhu says "I have performed Namaz behind Hadhrath Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam, Hadhrath Abu Bakr Siddeeque Radhiyallahu Anhu and Hadrath Umar Radhiyallahu Anhu and they did not raise hands any where except after the beginning of the Namaz."

Answer	After performing Fajr Salath it is not correct to perform Nafl Salath until the sun rises whereas it is permissible to perform Qadha Salath, Sajda e Thilwath and Janaza Salath, but, the time between the appearance of the corner of the sun and the fading away of its orangeness, is Makrooh, which is approximately a ten minutes duration. It is prohibited to perform Fardh, Nafl, Sajda e Thilawath, Janaza Salath and all, during this period. And after the sun-rise when the orangeness disappears time of Ishraq begins. Allah knows best.

Answer	Janaza Salath itself is a Dua and there is no other Dua with it. Therefore it is necessary to refrain from the aforementioned practice. Allalh knows best Muhammad Asif Darul Iftha, Jamia Binoria 19 Rabee'us Saani 1428

Question	Assalamu alaikum! 1. I read in the Islam (magazine) a question that the Imam of Makkah does not keep Niyyath for the Namaz of ladies behind him and in reply the Moulana Sahib had said yes and it was so. Sir is it possible that the Imaam of Ka'ba does not keep Niyyath for the ladies who perform Namaz behind him while a large number of females do participate in every Namaz in Ka'ba. Feeling so much uneasy since I do not know whether this is correct or not. Please be kind enough to clarifiy the matter. May Allah reward you. 2. Assalamu Alaikum! Sir I had enquired you about making videos and getting videos made, as to whether they were permissible or impermissible whereas Mufthi Munib ur Rahman Sahib had declared them as permissible? Jazakumullah Khaira.
Answer	Imams of the Haramain are connected to the Maslak of Imam Ahmed bin Hanbal Rahmathullahi Alaihi and according to them it is not necessary to have special Intention (Niyyath) as to leading the Salath for females but a general intention is sufficient. And among our Imams of Ahnaf's too, one view is just the same. Therefore the Salath performed by the females following them are correct although the view according to the judicial decree is that repetition is better and excellent and,it should be the way. Taking photos of animated beings, and, making videos or getting videos made on them, are prohibited and Haram according to the Shari'a and abstention from which, is equally essential for all, the common and the privileged.

Question	Assalam-o-Alikum In our company office collegues are use to pray zohar(Bajamaat) in office premises despite that we have a masjid adjacent to our office.My question is that: 1) Without having any sharia causes is it Permissible to them to pray in office. 2) Also mention the Sharia causes so a man can leave a jamaat in masjid. ======================== JWAB E TANQEEH ======================== Assalam-o-Alikum This is a proper masjid where 5 times pray and Namaz-e-Jumma offered on regular basis. Note: For refrence please find attached file. I hope you will have now better understanding aout this matter. Jazak Allah Khair
Answer	Congregational (Jama'ath) Salath is Sunnat e Muakkida, which is closer to Wajib category. Therefore abandoning it continuously without a valid Shar'i excuse is a sin and tantamount to losing the intercession of beloved Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam. Many a strong warnings too are recorded in Ahadees e Mubaraka apart from this. Therefore the concerned persons should join the congregation in the Mosque and stop offering Salath in a separate place or office leave ing the congregational Salath in the Mosque. As a matter of warning there are predications found in Ahadees e Mubraka as to the non-validity of such Salath. However some allowances are found to leave the congregational Salath due to certain genuine Shar'i excuses such as inability to reach the Masjid due to weakness or pain as a result of serious illness; total paralysis; so aged to the extent that unable to walk around; blindness; strong and heavy rain; snowing,mud and unbearable cold under which condition walking upto the mosque would create physical pain or harm; fear of losing one's life or wealth; having intention to travel; fear of missing the group; presence of meals while one is feeling severe hunger etc. etc. and not otherwise.

Question	Will our Namaz be accepted if we apply lipsticks and perform?
Answer	If applied after having taken (Wudhu) ablution, then having it will not effect the validity of the Salath. However in the event, the layer of it remaining on lips after having applied it before taking ablution, Wudhu will be valid only if performed after removing the layer.

Answer	Congratulating a person or embracing (Muanaqa) during Eid or in happy occasions is, in itself, permissible. However considering it to be Sunnath or making the particular number of times, for Ex; to do Muanaqa three times, as necessary and essential, and, making a person who do not do so a target of finding fault with, or running down upon are impermissible, rather in such circumstances this will become an innovation (Bid'ath), refraining from which is essential.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum,\par I have few questions related to Salaat (Namaaz) 1. Is it prohibited to crackle fingers while in Namaz? If so, in which Hadees Shareef it is mentioned? 2. Is it necessary for men to keep the ankles covered while in Namaz or is there any relaxation on it? Waiting for your reply.
Answer	1. In the following Narration of Ibn Majah it is prohibited to crack fingers while in Salath. Narration of Hadhrath Ali Radhiyallahu Anhu - Ibn Majah p 68 2. Not only during Salath but in normal situations too men are ordered to keep the ankles uncovered. Severe punishments are recorded in Ahadees in connection with those who cover their ankles.

Question	1. Is there a way of consicing the Namaz of Qadha e Umeri? If so, please inform me. 2. Can a name of a person be changed if the meaning is not proper? Those who say that so and so has fallen sick due to the name and much more of these types are told,.... even if the name is correct and the meaning is also proper, can these types of sayings of people be accepted in such a situation too? Please inform the Shar'i point of view.3. During the period between 1st Muharram to 10th Muharram has Imam Husain Radhiyallahu Anhu conducted any Nikah in the valley of Karbala?
Answer	1 It is necessary to perform all the Salath one has missed whatever the count be. And if the number is excessive and the questioner too wishes to perform them, and, if he performs Salath taking care of all the Arkan, Fara'idh and Wajibaath and complete them with the least level required, it would be sufficient for him. During the Salath of each Waqth if he wishes to perform more than only one missed Salath, that too is possible. 2 If a person's name does not have a correct meaning, it is permissible to change it, and, it is established through Ahadees as well. However if the meaning is correct, no need to fall victim to superstitions and augury unnecessarily. Realizing that sickness and recovery are from Allah Tha'ala one must try to endure and be diligent in making Dua for progress. 3 In spite of perusals, could not find the matter of Hadhrath Hussain Radhiyallahu Anhu's Nikah at Karbala. Hence other religious scholars may be contacted in this regard. Allah knows best. Asadullah Darul Iftha, Jamia Binoria 17 Sha'ban 1430

Answer	Even though there is no harm in performing Salath in such a place due to the compelled situation of non-availability of another place due to ......"the earth as a whole is made to me as clean and place for sajda/masjid" ........, yet, without a compelled situation it is Makarooh and impermissible for Muslims to perform Salath in churches.

Question	What is to be done with the Qadha Namaz of an old aged lady? And if she dies in that situation?
Answer	First and foremost, it should be necessary for any feeble, weak elderly person to try to perform the missed Salath even though by gesture while lying down. Along with that as a precautionary measure, may make Wasiyyath to pay Fidya on them. In this status if the person dies having made Wasiyyath to pay Fidya the inheritors become responsible to pay Fidya up to the level of 1/3rd of the deceased property. If Wasiyyath is not made it is not the responsibility of the heirs to pay the Fidya. However if those inheritors who are sane and major, on their own accord wish to pay the Fidya, undoubtedly thay can do so and it is correct and permissible according to the Shari'a. And it is hoped from the Allah the Most High that He will accept this Fidya and excuse the deceased. Allah knows best. Muhammad Sa'ad Javid Darul Iftha, Jamia Binoria 6 Rajab 1430

Answer	If this has happened for the first time Salath should be terminated and performed afresh. And if such doubts keep on occurring and there is no probable presumption too, then the less count should be taken it for granted. If in this thought no time lapsed to the extent of performing a smaller Rukn, Sajda e Sahw too is not necessary otherwise it becomes necessary. Allah knows best.

Answer	1 In such circumstances too Ahanaf should not pray before the time of double shadow but to perform their own congregation on reaching the double shadow. However, it will be valid according to the Shari’a if performed following a Shafi’i Imam due to a compelled situation. 2. Since the Shafi’i people perform with two Salams it is necessary for the person who follow the Hanafi Maslak to perform Withr Salath alone and not to follow the Shafi’i Imam. Allah knows best.

Question	A boy whose age is between 14 to 15 years is staying in the Madrasa attached to the Masjid for almost for the past three months. Earlier the Muazzin Sahib used to conduct the Namaz in the absence of the Imam Sahib. For the past few days, Muazzin Sahib is on leave and this boy stands to conduct Namaz in the absence of the Imam Sahib and says that it was the order of the Qari Sahib. What Qari Sahib says is that he knows that the boy is Baligh (reached the age of adulthood) and is a Hafiz whereas there is not even a hair of moustache or beard in the face of the boy. And there are people of 60 -70 years of age among those who stand behind him. When Qari Sahib was told to ask the boy to bring forward and elderly person for Fardh Namaz he said that he didn't have confidence in Namaz of any of the follwers and asked the followers not to talk about the mosque matters or else to find a some other mosque whereas there are no other mosques connected to the Deobandi sect in the close proximity. The name of the Mosque is Imamul Anbiya which is situated in Gulisthan Jowher Block No 3. The incident is fresh and the boy could be seen and verified. Jazakallah
Answer	Ruling of attaining puberty/adolescence is not in connection with the appearance of beard or moustache but on account of wet dream(nocturnal emission). Appearance of bearad is a sign of it. However, if the concerned youth is in fact sane and reached adulthood, although it is permissible according to Shari’a to perform Salath following , yet it is not free from detestation. Therefore rather than spoiling the environment of the locality by giving wayward answers the referred Imam Sahib should provide opportunity to a religious person, who, is aware of the rules of the Salath and, also performs Salath properly to conduct the Imamath so that an important Ibadath such as Salath could be performed without any disputes or detestation.

Question	Assalam-o-alekum: what is the reality of \"Shab-e-Brat\"? Is there any proof from shariah regarding Shab-e-Brat? guide me with detail answer with reference to hadith.
Answer	Virtues of the fifteenth night of the month of Sha'aban which is also called customarily as Shab e Bara'ath are recorded in Narrations of Ahadees from almost ten Sahabas. Hence there is no harm if some more Ibadath are done individually in this night in comparison to other nights. But, making arrangement for special gatherings in Mosques, decorating Mosques with illuminations etc, and taking mesures to perform particular type of Salath are not found in the golden era famous for all the excellence, i.e., are not established in the era of Sahaba, Thabi'een or Thab'u th Thaabi'een.

Answer	Virtues of the 15th night of Sha'ban which is also known as Shab e Bara'ath is recorded in Ahadees e Mubaraka narrated from more than ten Companions and there is no denial in the fact that righteous predecessors individually used to make more Ibadath in this night. However making arrangements in this night to have gatherings in Masjid, decorating Masjid with illuminations etc. are no where established, therefore it is necessary that the enquirer try to prohibit people from engaging in myths and extravaganzas in this night and not to refute the virtues of this night generally.

Answer	Both of these views are upheld by the commentators (Mufassireen) of Qur'an with regard to the revelation of Qur'an. One view is that the whole Qur'an was descended to the worldly heaven from Lawh ul Mahfooz in this night and the second view is that the beginning of Wahi from the worldly heaven took place in this night and Hadhrath Jibraeel Alaihis Salam came with Wahi to Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam in the same night and both of these views are correct as per the case may be.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum Janab I would like to get clarification with regard to Shab e Mi'raj. What I want to know is whether there is particular date or are there any Hadees indicating a fixed date in this regard since in Pakistan the 27th night of Rajab is celebrated and the night is spent on Ibaadaath etc. whereas in Saudia there is nothing as such. Please enlighten in this regard.
Answer	In this connection nothing is narrated from authentic avenues through Nabi Sallalalhu Alaihi Wa Sallam or his noble companions. During the period of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam as there remained no particular arrangement in remembering dates etc, there appears many contradictions pertaining to the date of this event even though there is a saying attributing it to the 27th of Rajab as well. However it is not reported from Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam himself or his noble companions or the Thabi'eens that they did engage themselves in extra ordinary Ibadath in this night. Therefore it is necessary to refrain from making some particular Zikr or Thasbeeh or any other mode of Ibadath specially with this night and considering them to be rewardable and cause of Sawab etc., Allah knows best.

Answer	If a place is officially declared as Waqf and a Masjid is built there it is considered a Shar'i Masjid which will be under the rule of Masjid upto the day of Qiyamath. To demolish the Masjid or using it for other purposes is, while being Haram and impermissible in Shari'a, it would tantamount to inviting the wrath and punishment of Allah, the Almighty. Therefore, it is incumbent and compulsory upon the influential personnel in the area to prevent the connected person or the institution from using the concerned place of the Masjid for some other purpose.

While it is necessary to refrain from such acts, arrangements should be made to wear long sleeved garments in future.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmathullahi wa Barakathuhu! What do the respected Ulema say about those who do not perform Namaz? Are they Kafirs? What do the guided Imams say about this?
Answer	Let it be known that, a person's mere non-performance of Salath only is not the indication or reason for his leaving Islam and entering Kufr, rather, it is not correct to apply the ruling of Kufr on a person, after accepting Islam, until he bears an explicit Kufr concept or utters an explicit Kufr talk. Similarly a person who admits the obligation of Salath but due to some laziness or short-comings does not perform it, is undoubtedly a sinner for leaving the Salath but declaring him as Kafir is a wrong and impermissible act, refraining from which is essential. As for reference made on those Ahadees e Mubaraka, such a person is called so as a matter of warning and not in its real essence. Allah knows best.

I am not clear which one to follow. Can you kindly tell me about some authentic source whom I can follow for prayer timings. Just as an addition, according to one some of the timings, in May, June and some days of July, we should have to pray Isha prayers as Qaza always. The reason they give is that according to astronomical conditions, as soon as time for Maghrib prayers is over, the time for Fajar prayers start. I would be grateful if you can give your point of view on that as well. Best Regards,

Question	Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmathullahi wa Barakathuhu! What I wanted to ask you was whether Hazrath Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam had given Azan? Please reply soon... and requesting for Duas.
Answer	As per our research on some Narrations of Ahadees it is clearly understood that our beloved Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam himself has not given Azan. However it is better if other elderly religious scholars too are approached in this regard and clarified. There are some narrations found in the affirmative yet the expert scholars in the field of Hadees have attributed them to be abridged and declared as interpretations. Allah knows best.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum! Two questions. 1. Can women conduct their own Jamaath within the house or in some halls? 2. Can women join the Jamaath of men and perform their Namaz ( while remaining in the Pardha or in seperated partition)? Assalamu Alaikum
Answer	1 It is also Makrooh for a female to become an Imam and conduct Tharaweeh for females. However, if a girl in order to protect her memory, without inviting, collect the household females and recite them Qur’an by conducting Tharaweeh Salath, an allowance is found in Shari’a for such an act. However, it is Makarooh e Thahreemi to make arrangement to call people from outside or to go out and perform Tharaweeh in a hall etc. It is necessary to refrain from it. 2 Females can perform Tharaweeh Salath following a male Imam if complete arrangement of observance of Pardah is available and there is no fear of a (Fitnah) mischief. There is an allowance for this but it is necessary to refrain from going out of the house for this. Allah knows best. Muhammad Murshid Darul Iftha, Jamia Binoria 24 Ramadhan 1430

Question	What is the correct way of raising the finger in Thashahhud? Should it be done twice or just once?
Answer	The correct way of indicating the finger in Thashahhud is; join the middle finger and the thumb and make a ring. Fold the fourth and the fifth finger and raise the second finger on ASHADU AN LA ILAHA in such a way that the finger is bent towards the Qibla and not raised straight towards the sky and when saying ILLALLAH lower the second finger but the positions of the other fingers should be maintained as already made. And doing so once is sufficient and not necessary to keep on repeating. Allah knows best. Kaleemullah Darul Iftha, Jamia Binoria 24 Ramadhan 1430

Question	Assalamu Aalikum I have a collegue in the office who does not perform daily Namaz, Namaz of Jumma and, to the extent that even he does not keep fasting during Ramadhan. All other collegues do explain him a lot and tell him various Ahadees but no effect is reflected on him. He says that he is of offsprings of Muslim parents and that he is a muslim. Inform us what Shari'ath says with regard to such a person?
Answer	While taking care of your own Salath and other Ibadaath, should be careful in making arrangements in doing Dua particularly with concentration and persuading and encouraging him on and off. Insha Allah definitely changes will take place. May the benevolent Rabb give us Thowfeeq to become His sincere servants as he has become a very big sinner due to our shortcomings. Allah knows best.

Is it permissible or should it be performed silently so that the one stands besides could not hear? Awaiting your reply.
Answer	It is permissible without doubt to raise the voice to the extent that the voice reaches the ear of one who recites. However it is not at all permissible to recite in a voice which will create disturbance in the Salath of one who stands beside. Therefore it is indeed necessary for them to abandon this undesirable practice. Allah knows best. Muhammad Haneef Darul Iftha, Jamia Binoria

Question	Hazrat mufti sahib db Assalaam alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakathuh If a thing is lost within the Masjid or in the compound of the Masjid like Bai thul Khala is there any permission for the Imam to announce it in the Masjid after the Namaz? This is the question and if possible please send the reply in Arabic and English or in anyone of this languages so that we could show it to the non-Urdu speaking crowd also here. Jazakallahu Khaira!
Answer	Let it be known that the announcement within Masjid on lost articles is prohibited in Hadees. This has been made the common ruling by the Islamic jurists as well. The preferable way is to search for the lost article without a public announcement. Nevertheless some Jurists are of the opinion that only those items that were actually lost or found within the Masjid may be publicly announced. However it is also necessary to give concern to the reverence of the Masjid and avoid undue chaos and uproar. Allah knows best. Muhammad Sa’ad Javed Darul Iftha, Jamia Binoria 20 Zil Haj 1430

Question	Assalamu Alaikum I have some questions regarding Qadha Namaz. 1. If a person whose Asar Namaz is due, gets the congregational Namaz of Maghrib, does he have to keep the intention for performing Qadha Namaz of Asr while joining the Jamath or should he first perform the Qadha Namaz of Asr and then Perform the Maghrib Namaz? 2. If two people have their Qadha Namaz can they perform the Qadha Namaz with Jamath? 3. During a journey while performing Qasr Namaz, is it allowed to perform the Namaz of Asr with Namaz of Zhuhar in the time of Zhuhar? 4. If two or more people are performing the Qasr Namaz is it possible to perform two or the fixed number of Raka'aths in Jama'ath or should they perform individually?
Answer	1 If the person who missed the Asr Salath is not a Sahib e Thartheeb, he would perform Maghrib Salath with Jama'ath and then perform the missed Asr Salath whereas it is not permissible to have the intention of Asr Salath as well, while performing the Maghrib Salath. By doing so neither Asr nor Maghrib would be executed hence abstinence is necessary. 2. If a Salath of a group of people is missed together it is permissible for them to perform it in congregation if they wish so. 3. According to the Ahnaf apart from two places i.e in Muzdalifa and Arafa during Haj, it is not permissible to combine two Salath in one Waqth. However due to the compelled situation of a journey if one Salath is performed at its final time and the other one is at its beginning, undoubtedly this is permissible but remember that each Saltah should be performed only within the particular time for it. 4 It is Sunnath e Muakkidah closer to be Wajib to perform Salath in congregation. It is a sin and a matter of great loss to leave it without a valid excuse. Therefore, even during a journey it should be taken care to perform Salath with congregation if there are two or more people. If the intention of the questioner through this query is something else, by re sending the question with required details could enable a perusal. Allah knows best.

Question	Heard that someone has told that all the Ahadees pertaining to Thasbeeh Salath are weak and there is not a single Hadees which is Saheeh or strong and therefore it is necessary for a person to pray Thahajjud since the Ahadees pertaining to Thahajjud are Saheeh and strong. It is requested from yourselves to please explain the authenticity and the strength of the Ahadees on Thasbeeh Salath. Is this matter as per what a student of Hadees told me or in contrary to it?
Answer	Let it be known that as for the Sanad (chain of Narrators) and the Mathan (text) are concerned the Ahadees on Thasbeeh Salath are authentic. The righteous predecessors of Ahl e Sunnath wal Jama’ath have relied upon them and considered it, i.e.Thasbeeh Salath, to be one of the Blessing of Allah Tha’ala to the extent that the compiler of Sunan Abu Daud Rahimahullah created a separate chapter collecting all the Ahadees on it. Referring under the Hadees on Salathuth Thasbeeh, compiler of Bazl ul Majhood quotes from Kithab Al Khisal al Mukaffara of Hafiz Ibnu Hajr “Ibnu Jawzi has offended by quoting this Hadees in his Mowdhooaath .....” and goes on establishing the proofs and says that Ibnu Munda compiled a book to the effect to its authenticity. Therefore it is necessary for the questioner not to heed to everybody who comments about Ahadees and not to rely on their claims until such claims coincide with the sayings of the learned renowned Ulemas who are considered as reliable among the Ahl e Ilm.

Question	Assalamua Alaikum! 1. I stay in Sharja and my office is 90 Kilometers away and I use to travel daily. In this situation should I perform Qasr Namaz or the normal Namaz? Thanks 2. I wish to know that: two Raka'aths were finished and I joined the Imam in the third Raka'ath. Now when I complete the Namaz after Salam should I again recite Sana, Alhamd Shariff and any other Sura or just recite Alhamd Sharif and go to Ruku'u? Please guide me.
Answer	1 If the office of the questioner is situated out of the boundary of the city, in the distance mentioned, the questioner would perform, on the way or in the office, only (Qasr) shortened Salath in Salath of 4 Raka’ ath, individually or following a passenger Imam and not the complete Salath. And if the office is situated in a distance less than 48 kilometers from the boundary of the city, in such a situation, perform the Salath completely. 2 Way of performing the remaining two Raka’aths after Imam gives Salam is that, recite Sana, Thaawwuz, Alhamdu Shareef and a Surath in the first Raka’ath and only Alhamdu Shareef and Surath in the second Raka’ath.

Question	If Imam finished 3 rakat for maghrib, and stood up for 4th rakat by mistake, and one of the muqtadis gave him luqma as Subhan Allah to remind him or error. But he continues for the fourth rakat knowing that he made an error. He offered Sijda Sahu at end of fourth rakat. Muqtadis wanted him to repeat the salat, but he quoted Hadiths to support that there is no need to repeat. He wants quote of Hadith to prove that he has to repeat magrib salat. The argument is that he continued for the fourth rakat, even he was reminded by the muqtadi by saying Subhan Allah, he should have gone to Qaida immediately, and do sijda sahu to end the salat. Please respond with references. Jazakum Allah Khair. Wassalaam.
Answer	If the referred Imam stood up for the fourth Raka’ath erroneously after performing the last sitting (Qa’da e Akheera), each person’s Salath would become valid by performing the Sajda e Sahw and repetition is not necessary. If the Imam had not performed the Qa’da e Akheera at the end of the third Raka’ath no one’s Salath would have become valid and it is necessary for all to repeat the Salath. Allah knows best.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmathullahi wa Barakathuhu Sir, special Dua is requested from you. What is to be asked is that there are two mosques in the close proximity of our office within 5 minutes distance. How is it to conduct Jama'ath or perfrom Namaz in the office without any excuse? Is it permissible or impermissible? We have Jama'ath Namaz in our office and it is conducted by whoever likes and no person is appointed for it. It doesn't ooccur to perform Namaz behind the person who conducts Namaz and nobody else is also ready to conduct it. Self and some other collegues go to mosque and perform Namaz leaving behind the Jama'ath Namaz in the office. How is it, my doing this? How is it to perform Namaz behind a person, behind whom one does not like to perform Namaz? If one is compelled to perform due to an excuse will the Namaz be accepted? Under which grounds it becomes Ja'iz to conduct Namaz in the office or home while the mosque is close by?
Answer	It is not correct to make it a practice to leave the congregational Salath in the Masjid and conduct Jama’ath in the office etc., without a valid excuse. However if anyone does so although he gets the Sawab of the Jama’ath, yet, he will be a sinner and will be deprived of the Sawab of the Masjid. As for the questioner’s going to Masjid to perform the Salath leaving the Jama’ath in the office is concerned, it is permissible and rather preferable. But if the person who conducts the Salath in the office is not qualified to do so due to debauchery and immorality etc., in such a circumstance it is more preferable and better to perform Salath in Masjid even though in such a compelled situation Salath will be valid with detestation if one is happened to perform Salath behind a such person.

Question	Bismillahirrahmanirraheem Assalamu Alaikum What do the respected Mufthis say about this? A person while walking in front of a Namazi ( person who is performing Namaz) uses his Roomal ( the big handkerchief which is normally placed over the shoulders of the learned Ulemas) as a Suthra (barrier) and walks. What...? Is this action correct? Please guide us in the light of Qur'an and Hadees, Jazakallah
Answer	Whether the Mosque is big or small first of all one should not pass from, in front of a person who is engaged in Salath, instead, he should go from the rear side. If the Mosque is big (which is between 40 -60 cubits) or Salath is performed in a bare land it is allowed and permissible as well to pass in front of him leaving a space of two rows from the place of Sajda even without a Suthra (barrier)and the manner mentioned above is not necessary. If there is no room to go from the rear side and also difficult to go from the front due to Mosque being small or non availability of Suthra, what is desirable is to await until the Salath is concluded. In a compelled situation where there is a doubt of getting a loss in awaiting, since there is an allowance recorded by some elders to hold a kerchief as a barrier and pass behind it as mentioned, it is hoped that one may not be taken to task for using a barrier as such. However one should refrain from doing so in normal conditions, else, he will be a sinner for passing in front of one who is engaged in Salath. Allah knows best.

Answer	The most excellent Durood is Durood e Ibrahimi. It may be recited or any other Durood which is convenient may be adhered to. If the following Durood could be recited it would be better since many virtues are recorded in Ahadees e Mubaraka about it. ALLAHUMMA RABBA MUHAMMAD, SALLI ALA MUHAMMAD, WA ALA ALI MUHAMMAD, WAJZI MUHAMMADAN SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WA SALLAMA MA HUWA AHLUHU. Quoting from Thabrani, the Hadees of Jabir Radhiyallahu Anhu is recorded in Nuzhathul Majaalis that Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam said, one who recites this Durood morning and evening would give labor to those who record the Sawab of this for one thousand days. It means that they will get tired by keeping on recording it’s Sawab for one thousand days. (Faza’il e Durood Shareef- authored by Hazrath Sheikh Rahimahullah -page 75) Allah knows best.

Answer	In the light of the commentary of the following Ayath and of the Ahadees e Mubaraka it is correct and permissible beyond doubt to grant the reward of our good deeds to a second person.

Please guide me and tell me what is the reality... i wl be very thankful to you..
Answer	Virtues of Shab e Bara'ath, making arrangement to do Nawafil and Ibadath in that night, observing fasting on the day of it, etc are although established through such Ahadees of which the chain of narrators are weak, yet , due to frequency of narrations and miscellaneous avenues of recordings, they possess some sort of a strength. Therefore, most of the elders have accepted it and virtues of it are, among them, agreed upon because there is an allowance to act on weak narrations too, as far as virtues are concerned (Ma'arif ul Qur'an Vol 7, p 758) And same is the view of Ulama e Deoband too, however collective Ibadath in the Masjid, decorating the Masjid with lights and distribution of sweet dishes and performing Nafl with congregation etc. are not established, yet, due to the virtues of this night there is no harm in making arrangement to perform Ibadath in this night individually.

Question	Please inform the virtues of Shab e Bara’ath in the light of Hadees or Shari’a. Are there any Nafls in this night and fasting in the day? If so, then what is the speciality in this night as people celebrate this night saying Shab e Bara’ath?
Answer	Virtues of this night are recorded in Ahadees e Mubaraka. And, in some narrations it is mentioned that Allah Tha'ala frees a large number of captives from Jahannum in this night. Probably due to this reason this night is interpreted as Shab e Bara'ath (night of acquittal). Therefore comparing to other nights if precaution is taken to engage in more Nawafil and Ibadath in this night and to observe fasting in the day if one is capable of doing so does not make any harm, but performing collective Ibadath in the Masjid, decorating the Masjid with illuminations and distribution of sweet dishes and performing Nafl with congregation etc. are not established. However, due to the virtues of this night there is no harm in making arrangement to perform Ibadath in this night individually. Allah knows best.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmathullahi wa Barakathuhu What is the difference between Shab e Bara'ath and Shab e Qadr? Also inform the importance of Shab e Bara'ath (15th Sha'ban)? Does the destiny of all the living beings are decided in this night or no? Or this decision is made on Shab e Qadr? There are many misconcepts found with regard to this night (15th Sha'ban) and please correct us. Awaiting your reply. Faizan Rizvi Jazakallah
Answer	A major and clear difference between Shab e Qadr and Shab e Bara'ath is with regard to the months. Shab e Qadr is one of the un-identified nights in the last ten days of Ramadhan while the fifteenth night of the month of Sha'ban is called as Shab e Bara'ath. Secondly the complete Qur'an e Kareem was descended to the worldly heaven from Lauhul Mahfoozh on Shab e Qadr and not in Shab e Bara'ath. According to the saying of Hadhrath Ibn Abbas Radhiyallahu Anhu all the important matters that are to happen pertaining to the creations such as sustenance, birth, death etc. till the next Shab e Qadr are decided in this night. These are the views of Qatada, Mujahid and Hasan Rahimahumullah as well. Since the same, with regard to sustenance, life, death etc is mentioned about the Shab e Bara'ath too, some commentators of Qur'an have explained the view that, overall decision is made on Shab e Bara'ath i.e the 15th night of Sha'ban and the detailed decision is made on Shab e Qadr. As for the virtues regarding Shab e Bara'ath, although the Ahadees e Mubaraka in this connection are weak with respect to the chain of narrators, yet, due to frequency of narrations and miscellaneous avenues of recordings, they possess some sort of a strength. Therefore, Ulemas have agreed upon the virtues of this night. Hence it is encouraged in Ahadees too to engage in more Nawafil and Ibadath in this night compared to other nights and to observe fasting in the day but there is no proof whatsoever for making gatherings and adhering to perform collective Ibadatah, decorating the Masjid with illuminations and distribution of sweet dishes etc. Therefore it is necessary to refrain from such practice.

Question	In our Masjid one Namazi ( a person who comes to perform Namaz) who does not have Shar'i beard i.e. less than one fist, use to give Azan and Iqamath in the presence of the Muazzin (whose beard is Shar'i) and the other Namzis who have Shar'i beard. Is it correct what he does? If no, then do the Namazis who have the Shar'i beard become sinners?
Answer	When an officially appointed Muazzin is in Masjid, it is Makrooh for the concerned person to give Azan or Iqamath in his presence and in the presence of the others who have Shar'i beard and capability to recite correctly. Muazzin himself has to be particular about it, lest people of the locality and the others who perform Salath too would become sinners. Allah knows best.

Answer	It is not permissible to perform Salath behind a Shia. Firstly for the reason that some sects of the Shias bear Kufr doctrines and ascertaining as to which is difficult. Secondly those who do not have kufr doctrines, while performing Wudhu do Masah on their legs instead of washing them. Whereas with Hindus, except for having hearty affection and love, allowance is found to have connection with regard to other worldly matters but it should not be to the extent that the aversion towards Kufr gets vanished out of the heart.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum Mufthi Sahib, I would like to know from you the way of performing Withr Namaz according to all four Imams. Is the method of peforming Withr Namaz by the Ahnaf established by Hadees? Awaiting reply with the references of Hadees. Jazakallah
Answer	Let it be known that according to the Ahnaf, Withr Salath consists of three Raka'aath in one Salam in such a manner that in each Raka'ath after Sura e Fathiha, any other Sura or some Ayaths would be recited. And in the third Raka'ath, after these Ayaath or Sura, saying Thakbeer for Dua e Qunooth and reading Dua e Qunooth are both Wajib. This method is established beyond doubt through the Narrations of the following Ahadees. As for the method of the other Mazahib, may approach the Ulema of the concerned Mazhab. Narration of Hadhrath A'isha Radhiyallahu Anha in Aa'la us Sunan Vol 2, page 23/27 Narration of Hadhrath Ali Radhiyallahu Anhu in Fiqhul Islami wa Adilla Vol 2, page 826 Allah knows best.

Question	Please Send Me The Reference Of Hanfi Namaz I Was Read Bukhari Shareef There Was Defined Only Ehl-e- Hadis Type (RAFA-e-DAIN)
Answer	You (appear to) have not read the Narration of Hadhrath Abu Hameed Saa'adee Radhiyallahu Anhu in Bukhari Shareef wherein the leaving of Raf'u Yadain (Raising Hands) is mentioned lest necessity to pose such a question would not arise. Now let it be known that the complete manner of performing Salath is not found just in one Narration rather it is found in books of Ahadees in miscellaneous dispersed ways which were recorded by the Ulemas on their books in sequential manner. May have the following books to keep under reference for matters pertaining to Salath in Hanafi manner, Salath of Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam and miscellaneous issues like Raf'a Yadain (raising hands) Qira'ath Khalfal Imam (reciting in Salath while following the Imam) etc. 1. Majmoo'a Rasa'il 2. Thajalliyath e Safdar 3. Hum Namaz me hath qyun nahi utathe 4. Raf'ul Yadain 5. Ikhthilaf e Ummath aur Sirath e Musthaqeem, etc.. Allah knows best.

Question	In the Masjid of the factory where I am employed, Jamath is conducted, at 1.15. Jumma Namaz is held at 2.00 in another Masjid. The owners of the factory say that they are unable to close the factory for Jumma due to incurring of loss. Namaz is performed by everybody but what Allah Tha'ala has mentioned about Jumma day in Sura e Jumma is to stop all the activities, if engaged in any. Please reply whether the factory should be closed for Jumma or no?
Answer	There is no harm according to Shari'a , rather it is permissible and correct if, some employees are selected by a draw or by mutual understanding to perform Jumma Salath in the Masjid where it is performed at 13.30 and on their return others in the other Masjid where it is performed at 14.00 and during the process factory too is made to run.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum! My question in the presence of the respected Ulemas is that why are the respected Ulemas do not say anything with regard to advancing and reversing of the time? Due to this step of the government, a big difficulty arises with the change of the timings with regard to performing of Namaz. Apart from this the schedules of the other activities too get effected but I cannot understand the silence of the lerned Ulemas in this matter. Last year too, when the same government had advanced the time, Ulema of our country said nothing and now again they are silent. Isn't it the responsibility of the respected Ulemas to keep away the government from taking such steps that changes the timings of Namaz and Fasting and create difficulty? My request is that let the learned Ulemas make strong appeal from the government to withdraw the decision of advancing the time by one hour and to end the problem of load-shedding by installing power plants. The defeciency of the electricity will not be filled by advancing and reversing the hour. People of Pakistan will be grateful immencely to the respected Ulemas. Wassalam. Awaiting the reply
Answer	Let it be known that the basis of Salath(prayers) , Saum(fasting) is not the present day clock or hour but it is based on day, rising and setting of the Sun and the changes in the local timing etc. Clock and hour is just a criteria and to identify the local time. Therefore by advancing or reversing the clock there won't be any effect in the Waqth of Salath. That is the reason why the Ulema have paid no interest on it. Without evaluating the country's situation, consumption of power and concerning the real gain and loss of it just blindly following the others is a great tragedy about which the entire nation should be brought to vigilance and made them returned towards Allah the Almighty.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum What is the method of celebrating Shab e Mi'raj? Whether the way it is celebrated in Pakistan is correct?
Answer	There is no method of celebrating the Night of Mi’raj by Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam or his noble companions recorded through authentic avenues and neither Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam nor his companions or their followers did engage themselves in any special Ibadath in this night. Therefore it is not correct at all rather an innovation to consider a special Zikr, Thasbeeh or any method of Ibadath particularly for this night and consider it to be rewardable and a cause of Sawab. Further in our country of Pakistan traditions which are adhered to in this occasion are mostly inherited from Jewish and Hindu culture. Hence instead of engaging in such traditions it is necessary to turn towards Allah, and, in it remains, salvation and success.

Question	Assalamu alaikum I have to ask a really urgent question and a tabeer.A friend of mine got married like four years ago but didn't get rukhsati done yet. Over these years they have found a lot of negative stuff about her in laws. Who ever she did ask abt this they sed k rishta acha nahi hai n that she should leave him and not get rukhsati there but her mother and family is not doing anything about it n they are telling her to do sabr..so she is not very happy and is confused if she should get her rukhsati done there or not. I had talked to ustaaz saab abt this masla n he sed that the girl should do istikhara. Now the girl did istikhara a few times but didnt understand and didnt c any dreams so a few weeks later she did istikhra again and saw a really bad and dirty dream so after she saw that dream she stopped doing istikhara and told me the dream so i could get the tabeer. She used to have these two friends in college that she still knows, they weren't very deeni. BAsicallay they were a burri suhbat 4 her. So wen she realized that those friends r not good she stopped talking to them. Now she doesnt talk 2 them at all. They have become really bad living in America. Now they drink beer and do alot of bad stuff. So in her dream she saw that she went to their house. both the friends that she had r sisters. so she saw that she is sitting with the older sister in front of the tv and the friend is putting some video on...she was changing channels. Now she switches to a channel where she sees the other friend meaning the friends little sister...They r watching the video n suddenly they c the sister doing some bad acts with a guy in the dream...n she says to her sister tumhay shurm nahi aatai apni behan ko itni burri harkatay karti daikh rahi ho n ur watching her n not even saying anything. Wut kind sister r u?...so the older sister says that dont u know that this is totally normal..wuts so wrong abt it?....yaani k un ghaleez harkato ko bura b nahi samj rahi thee.....she saw this dream before fajr n then woke up so disgusted n didnt do istikhara after that.. so wuts the tabeer to this dream...did she get the answer to her istikhara?....plz let me know as soon as possible so i can tell her..
Answer	Let it be known that Isthikhara and Mashwarah are done on Mubah (permissible) matters where one has the choice of doing it or leaving whereas, after the conclusion of Nikah, it is not counted at all in doing Isthikhara for choosing whether to do Rukhsathi or no since the girl’s discretion has come to an end and gone to the boy. Now the boy has the discretion as to keep her in the bond of Nikah as usual or to give Thalaq and free her. Therefore now after the conclusion of Nikah it is necessary to do Dua for its brighter side and try hardly to abstain from such type of thoughts that are just whispers (Waswasa) of Shaitan. Hence the inquirer’s friend should try to make her happy on the decision of her parents and evade from unnecessarily falling into other’s gossips and make Dua at large for betterment and happy and pleasant disposition of her husband. As for relief from those whispers and Waswasa , it will be fruitful to recite third Kalima in abundance. Allah knows best. Muhammad Imran Darul Iftha, Jamia Binoria 15 Sha’ban1430

Question	1: Is it acceptable to wear a cap or head covering for males, only during namaz. I heard someone say that such is the practice of jews. Since we told to create as much dissimilarities between them and us i was wondering if this would also fall into that category or not. 2: What category of deed is for the husband who pays his wife's zakat of her jewelry. I mean is it general sadqah from his end or something else. Also, i read in the Quran (if i'm not wrong) that Allah swt will return (same or double) the amount paid in His name/cause. Pls advise if i'm right and whether it applies in the zakat case mentioned above. Jazakallah.
Answer	1. Wearing Cap or Turban is not particular for Salath rather it is a part of the dress and was from a customary Sunnath of Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam. Therefore one should refrain from being a victim of unnecessary doubts and claiming it to be a practice of Jews. 2,3 Husband is not responsible for executing Zakath of wife even if the wife does not possess cash to execute Zakath for her jewellery. She may sell a portion of her jewellery or request her husband to pay it for her. Further, husband himself or upon request of his wife, if pays the Zakath for her jewellery he will get the reward of Sadaqa and will be entitled to the virtues mentioned in the question.

Subject	JIHAD
Question	In which circumstances it is necessary to get the permission of parents to engage in Jihad fi Sabeelillah and what are the circumstances where it does not become necessary to get their permission? Please explain in detail.
Answer	In the prevailing circumstance, Kuffars and Hindus of Palestine, Bosnia, Iraq and Kashmir have oppressed and meted out tyranny on Muslims and governments of these countries without providing freedom of religion for Muslims, are in full cry to eradicate their religious customs, symbols and signs. Hence, Jihad has become Fardh e Ain in the said areas. Therefore in case the Muslims are not sufficient for the Jiahd in the areas mentioned such as Kashmir and Iraq etc., it becomes Fardh upon the Muslims who live in the adjoining areas to the extent that gradually in this order it could become Fardh on every Muslim around the world. But the interpretation of Jihad becoming Fardh e Ain does not mean at all that each Muslim in that area should carry weapons and proceed to the battle field and surround the enemy but, whatever is felt appropriate, should be planned and adopted skillfully. Accordingly, if the necessity is felt to send a group carrying weapons to the battlefield and to make another group engaged in helping them through other avenues, this plan too can be implemented. The idea behind the saying that the present day Jihad is not Fardh e Ain on other Muslims does not mean at any cost, that they just tie their hands and wait, but, it becomes their responsibility/duty according to AL MUSLIMOONA KULLUHUM KA JASADIN WAHID (All the Muslims are like a single body) to help and assist the oppressed Muslims of those areas physically and financially to the extent of their ability and courage as per the set out plans to put pressure upon Muslim rulers to take every possible action to force these non-Muslim rulers so that they take back their paw of tyranny from these oppressed Muslims and accept their fair demands and give them their religious rights. Likewise it is necessary upon them to make Dua too, in the presence of AllahTha'ala for the freedom of these tyrannized Muslims. From the above mentioned explanation it is obvious that Jihad has not become Fardh e Ain upon every Muslim around the world but it is Fardh e Kifaya. Therefore obedience to the parents is essential and without their permission one should not engage in Jihad of Kashmir etc.. It is necessary to satisfy them and once they are satisfied should participate if they are are satisfied. Until such time they are saisfied, should help and assist the Mujahideens through other avenues, because it is found in plenty of incidents, from the treasure of Ahadees where some Sahabas Radhiyallahu Anhum who had come to participate in Jihad without parents' permission, but Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam had emphasized them to serve their parents.

Subject	BURIAL MAYYAT
Question	Assalamu Alaikum After the burial of the Mayyith, the relatives of the Mayyith use to spread a cloth or a mat and keep sitting while people, one by one use to come and make Dua and pay their condolence. I want to ask you whether this is correct? And also is it correct to have the 20th , 30th and 40th and were these things in practice during the time of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam and are these things permissible as per Qur'an and Hadees. Is it permissible or not for the women to visit the graveyard. Please reply me for this soon. 2. Assalamu Alaikum, I wish to ask you that, I want to study abroad and there is an examination for that which is called ielts. I did the examination on the 21st May but I could not get through. Please inform me of a good Wazheefa for my success because the exam is so difficult. Please inform me of a Wazheefa to make it easy as soon as possible. Can any person get Isthikhara done through any Moulavi or he himself should do it?
Answer	The method of sitting for paying condolence as mentioned is not correct, however in any house if the arrangement can not be done for same then they can sit even in the mosque of the locality and this should be done only for three days and not beyond that. To have 3rd, 7th and 40th i.e., to sit on a particular day for the purpose of Isal e Sawab for the Mayyith, thinking it as essential and to have Qur'an Khwani etc. and to realize that the presence of everybody concerned to be essential etc. are such acts which do not carry any proof in the Shariath e Muthahhara and are pure innovations and it is necessary to abstain from such acts. The best way of Isal e Sawab is, whenever possible to the extent of one's capacity to do Sadaqa and charity, perform Nafl Namaz or recite Qur'an Majeed and to bestow the Sawab to the soul of the Mayyith. If it is impossible to do more, at least sura e Ikhlas be recited three times daily and the Sawab be bestowed upon the Mayyith. It is not correct for young women to visit graveyards due to Fitna and Fasad (corruption, mischief, insecurity troubles etc.etc.) however, old women, taking care of the limits of the Shari'a can visit. The better way of doing Isthikhara is to do it oneself. And the Wadheefa for success in the exam is, to make Dua for success in the exam after reciting 500 times AS SAMEE'U after completing Chasth (Dhuha) Namaz on Wednesday. Insha Allah the Dua will be accepted and will succeed in the exam. Allah knows best. Shafeeullah Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria, 7 Sha'ban 1430

Subject	Graveyard
Question	Assalamu Alaikum, Is it possible to visit graveyard and do Fatiha Khwani without Wudhu and also what is to be recited in it and how is it to be bestowed upon the dead? Can Sawab be bestowed upon Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam too? What is the time duration for Zawal during the day and night according to the new and former time? Is Namaz to be repeated if one forgets to recite Sura e Fathiha in any one Rak'ath in Sunnath, Nafl, Wajib or Witr? Please send answers to these questions to my email address soon. Thanks and Jazakumullh Khaira
Answer	Yes. It is possible to bestow Sawab to the dead even without Wudhu by reciting whatever is in memory from the Qur’an. Ideal way of doing this is to recite Sura e Ikhlas, Sura e Al Haqumu Ththkaasur and Sura e Fathiha 3,3 times and bestow the Sawab to the dead. And the preferable way of doing it is to first bestow the Sawab to sacred soul of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam and then to the souls of all Mumin males and females and after that to the soul of whom is intended through the mediation of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam. As for the duration of Zawal, it changes every day and it is necessary for the enquirer to have the book DA’IMI NAQSHA E AWQATH E NAMAZ of Professor Abdul Latheef Sahib with him and refer it as and when necessary. By missing Sura e Fathiha in the said prayers, it becomes Wajib to do Sajda e Sahw . One should repeat these prayers if Sajda e Sahw is not performed and remembered it before the lapse of time of the said prayers. If time lapsed or remembered it late, then it is incumbent to make Thowba and Isthighfar, yet, it is safer to repeat it . Allah knows best. Shehzad Mu’een Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria, 21 Sha’ban 1430

Can a SYED BOY marry a NON SYED GIRL? 4. Can a NON SYED GIRL be the KUFF/KUFV of a SYED BOY? Respected Sir, I request you to kindly issue a very detailed verdict/fatwa with the official stamp. I will always be grateful to you for this act of kindness. FROM SYED ALI UL AHSAN NAQVI TIRMIZI HOUSE NUMBER 523, STREET 18, CHAKLALA SCHEME 03, RAWALPINDI, PUNJAB, PAKISTAN, POST CODE: 46000 PHONE NUMBER: 92-51-5592575 E-MAIL:aliulahsan@yahoo.com
Answer	Let it be known that the KUFV (lineage, wealth etc.) is attributed to the male and if any girl of a Seyyad lineage wishes to marry a non-Seyyad boy on her own for a very less Mahr than that of Mahr e Misl without the consent of her Awlia (pl.of Wali -patrons/benefactors) according to Shari'a the Nikah itself is not taken place since it is instrumental to the ignominy and disgrace of their family. However if the Awlia of the the girl of the Sayyad family agree through mutual consent and permission to marry with a non-Seyyad boy, then in such an instant it will not be considered in Shari'a as a reason for disgrace. As for the marriage of a boy of a Seyyad lineage with a non-Seyyad girl without the consent of his parents, eventhough the Nikah will be valid in Shari'a, it is not suitable at all in an important matter like Nikah for a girl or boy to take such a step without consulting with their respective Awlia. Therefore it is necessary to abstain from such actions. Allah knows best Shehzad Hussain Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria 18 Sha'ban 1430

White dress has been preferred for males. 9. It is Haram for males to wear real silk. 10. It is Makrooh for males to wear plain red clothes but it is no harm if mixed with some other colour or striped in red. 11.

Question	Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah, I converted to Islam 9 years ago Alhamdulillah. Want to wear hijab, but my non-Muslim parents do not allow me. They do not want their community to find out about my conversion & have threatened that I will have to leave their house, if I put on hijab. (1) Hijab is farz, so am I allowed to leave my parents' house, in order to wear hijab? (2) I am doing a job but do not earn enough to get a place to stay & also do not have any other place to go & am also unable to marry. What should I do? (3) Suppose if I manage to save money & find a decent place to stay, is it allowed for a Muslimah to live alone, without a mehram? Can I live as a paying-guest with some Muslim ladies? JazakAllah khair Wassalam, a sister in Islam.
Answer	In this circumstances it is necessary for the questioner to keep on trying in explaining her parents with wisdom and insight and along with this, get married to a good, pious person who follows the Shari'a no sooner than it becomes possible. It is necessary to learn the laws of Shar'i Parda referring to the books connected to it and to be vigilant on it in any case and to withstand and bare with patience in case any annoyance or trouble etc. is caused by the parents or any other party. Insha Allah the Benevolent Rabb will bring better situations in return. Allah knows best. Niyaz Ahmed, Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria, 21 Sha'ban 1430.

Answer	It is Wajib to keep beard, and to grow it to the length of fist is Sunnath. And to make it shorter, trim or shave is not permissible at all, and Haram according to the unanimous opinion of the A'imma (jurists). In the situation where one is having beard, it is permissible undoubtedly to have moustache along with it. Reference of some Ahadees e Mubaraka and writings of Islamic jurists mentioning that the beard is obligatory and shortening it to less than a fist is impermissible is quoted below for perusal.

Question	Mohtarram Mufti SahibAssalam u Alaikum I am writing you from London with a very common question.Is the meat used in fast food like KFC, McDonalds and Subway etc halal or haram?A friend of mine here says that the meat used in fast food shops especially KFC and McDonalds is not haram. The point on which he argues is that in Quran its nowhere mentioned that this kind of meat is haram. I have taken a few verses from Quran which discuss this matter but these verses are not very clear. These verses say that the animal on which the name of other than Allah has been said is haram but these verses do not clearify the matter about the meat slaughtered with jerks on which no ones name has been said.Could you please guide us towards the right. Many regards.Wa-Salam ÇÓ äÿ Êã Ñ ãÑÇ ÀæÇ ÌÇäæÑ ÇæÑ áÀæ ÇæÑ ÓæÑ ˜Ç æÔÊ ÇæÑ ÌÓ íÒ Ñ ÎÏÇ ˜ÿ ÓæÇ ˜Óí ÇæÑ ˜Ç äÇ㠁˜ÇÑÇ ÌÇÆÿ ÍÑÇã ˜ÑÏíÇ Àÿ ÀÇŸ Ìæ äǍÇÑ ÀæÌÇÆÿ (ÈÔÑØí˜À ) ÎÏÇ ˜í äÇÝÑãÇäí äÀ ˜Ñÿ ÇæÑ ÍÏ (ÖÑæÑÊ) Óÿ ÈÇÀÑ äÀ ä˜á ÌÇÆÿ ÇÓ Ñ ˜ª äÇÀ äÀíŸ?

Answer	Let it be known that the Qur'an Shareef is a complete code of life. With regard to Halal and Haram of edible things only the rule is explained in it and although the animals slaughtered for names other than Allah is declared Haram in it, it could be understood by referring deeply that the animal which was not at all slaughtered but killed by a jerk, or the conditions of slaughtering were not met, or the one who slaughters is not fully equipped with all the conditions needed, is not considered in the eyes of Shari'a as a slaughtered animal but it is called as a dead animal because in Qur'an Shareef only the meat of such animals which are slaughtered in the blessed name of Allah Tha'ala is declared Halal whereas no ruling is mentioned whatsoever about being Halal of an animal which is not slaughtered at all but clarifications of these rules are found in abundance in books of Ahadees. And in this context all the clarifications which the students of Sahaba Radhiallahu Anhum Ajma'een explained to their circle of students are available in books of Fiqh. Therefore if someone says that there is nothing mentioned about an animal killed by a jerk etc. in Qur'an it is based on his sheer ignorance of and his distance from the religion. He should try to understand the Shar'i status of problems after gaining knowledge from learned elders. As for the meat of non-muslim companies such as McDonalds and KFC are concerned we do not have any concrete proof to say that it is Halal. Hence it is necessary to abstain from them.

Question	Dear Sir, Please read carefully below-mentioned About Pespsi and Cocacola bevearages and tell me anbout this that it is right according to islamic point of view tell me at the aerliest. Pepsi and Coca Cola Contains PORK (PIG) extracts - PROVEN!! Shocking / Bad News : Pepsi and Coca Cola contains extract from Pork (Pig)Most of the people avoid Pepsi and Coca-Cola for various reasons:-because of harmful chemical contents such as excessive carbonates, etc. Now there is yet another reason which is more dangerous. The scientific and medical research says that drinking Pepsi & Cola leads to cancer because the key element is taken from Pigs sausage. The pig is the only animal that eats dirt, dung and urine, which makes lethal and deadly fabric polluted germs and microbes. According to a report published in Jordanian magazine, the Head of Delhi University Science and Technology , Dr. Mangoshada scientifically proved that the key element in Pepsi and Cola contains extract from the intestines of Pig which causes cancer and other deadly diseases. The Indian university conducted tests on the impact of drinking Pepsi and Coca Cola which proved that drinking them lead to more rapid heart rate and low pressure. Also drinking 6 bottles of Pepsi or Cola at a time causes instant death.. It also contains chemicals such as carbonic and phosphoric acids, citric acid which harms teeth and causes bone fragility. Bones kept in the Cup of Pepsi melts during the week knowing that the bones of the dead remain in the grave for thirty years.Research itself confirmed that the calcium dissolved in Pepsi and it weakens the bladder, kidneys, kills the pancreatic, leads to diabetes and infectious diseases. Pepsi or Coca-Cola lovers, you have nothing to worry as it is not the only drinks available on this earth, as we have other healthy alternatives such as natural fruit juices, canned coconut water, flavoured milks, buttermilk etc., all of them are conveniently available even in the small stores.
Answer	If the research mentioned here is correct and based on reality and other researching institutes too declare it as correct, then, in that situation it is a must to refrain from such beverages. And until a complete research is carried out on it, there is an allowance until such time to drink it since the basis (during this period) is only a doubt, but, what is better and preferable in any case is, to refrain from it.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum! What my question is whether Network Marketing Halal? A Norway company, GOLD MINE INTERNATIONAL, has adopted this method to increase customers. Please note that the function of this company is only manufacturing and selling of gold products. Details of their system is explained in their website "www.goldmineint.net" (in DEMO in the tab SUPPORT US). I have a copy of the Fatwa issued by Mufthi Asmathullah (Naib Mufthi-Darul Iftha) where-in he has said network marketing as Halal, in answer issued to the question raised regarding the network marketing of "My7Diamonds" company. In this Fatwa the answer is very brief and no reference of Quranic Ayaath or Ahadees are quoted whereas I have got a Fatwa trhough a website "www.islam-qa.com" as per "Standing Committee for Academic Research and Issuing Fatwas. Fatwa no. 22935, dated 14/3/1425 AH." according to which it is Haram. I have informed everybody and it is notices that in this work nobody is deceived but making effort is conditional to earn profit. My earnest request is that please visit and study both the websites in detail and submit a comprehensive answer quoting references from Qur'an and Hadees as to whether network marketing is Halal or Haram (as is being done in Gold Mine International)? And is there a connection of Riba al Fadhl or Riba al Nasiah in network marketing?
Answer	Deeply gone through the process of the said "Gold Mine International". Nowadays a large number of companies have emerged who do business in such a way that they sell things which are cheap at expensive prices and also negotiate to pay commission on enrolling members. People under the influence of greed tend to purchase things which are cheap at higher prices which according to Shari'a is a form of Qimar (Gambling). As such if the products of Gold Mine International are more expensive than the prices of same in the normal bazar then this business activity is impermissible. Market price can be determined by selling the company products in the open market. If the company products are not available in the market the price on which the customers prepare to buy the company product is considered as the market price of the company product. If the customers are prepared to buy at company price then the market price is equal to the company price. If the customers are not prepared to buy at company price then it indicates that the company price is more than the market price. The additional amount is placed on a chance that the customer succeeds in enrolling members, or else, if he doesn't succeed in enrolling members the additional amount he paid will be a loss. If the prices of products of the company are equal to the market value or have a very small difference even then the following defects are found in the procedure of the company. 1. Saying that the real purpose of the company is only to sell it's products is only a trick because if a person wants to buy a company product without becoming a member and without getting involved in the chain company doesn't sell it's products to him. 2. According to the company procedure, entitlement for commission is under the condition that members are enrolled from both sides of the chain. Therefore if a person enrolls members from one side and didn't from the other side, or the required number of members were not enrolled, he would not get returns for his tiresome effort. According to the Shari'a, it is not permissible to have such conditions because in one way a person's tiring effort becomes useless and he does not get any reward for it and on the other hand the commission for which he is entitled is pending on existence and non-existence as if the transaction was made thus; if members are enrolled from both the sides, the commission would be such and if enrolled less than that, no commission at all. And this is not correct according to the Shari'a. If the procedure is made in such a way that complete commission is on the required no. of members and less commission is for less members, then there is an allowance in Shari'a for it. Therefore, it is not permissible to participate in this business activity with the said defects in the present process. Refrain from it and also prevent others too from it. It is necessary for those who are engaged in this business with the above mentioned defects to quit it and make repentance and do Isthighfar for the mistakes committed and also to refrain from utilizing the income received from this business activity.

Subject	HADITH BIDAH
Question	Is celebrating giyarwaan shareef bidah? I have heard a hadith which suggest that you can pass sawaab to some one by doing good deed e.g. reading Qur'an, feeding some one and then saying to Allah to pass on this sawab to the dead. In giyarwaab shareef, sawab is given to Hazrat Abdul Qadir Jillani. What is the authencity of this hadith. If this is true then how come giyarwaan shareef becomes bidah? If it is bidah then is it because you can not creat more than two ocassions in lsam other than the two Eid. What if we pass sawaab to some other day of the year and not on 11th of Islamic month. Would it be OK then ?
Answer	It is permissible, without doubt, to do Eesal e Sawab to any muslim whether he is a famous saint or not and this is established through Ahadees e Mubaraka but the holy Shari'a has not specified any day, time or, month etc. for it. Binding a thing, which Shari'a has left common and independent, with time etc. and performing it considering it as a source of Sawab is no doubt, falls in the fold of surplus and innovation in Deen, whether with the name of Giyarwaan or any other name. Therefore one should do Eesal e Sawab within his capacity as and when he wishes Allah knows best. Abdur Raheem, Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria 01 Ramadhan 1430

Question	Assalamu Alaikum May Allah reward amply and honour you as you are rendering the service of spreading Islam in this era of evil. Aameen. I am Suhail, a Pakistani national residing and employed in United Arab Emirates. Here almost people of every nationality are doing employment. I am employed here in a well established telecom company. There are Arabs from Palestine who are working with me. Don't know why they think themselves as very superior than others and they do not have any care to Pakistan, Indian or Bangla Desh nationals. They behave with us as if we are Kafirs. They do not like to eat with us or drink with us and to the extent that they do not even shake hands with us at times. And they plainly say that 'we are Arabs and our status is superior than you all'. I am so much worried about their behavior. I like to explain them that before 1450 years, Hadhrath Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam had erased this difference and I want to quote references from Qur'an and Hadees but due to my lack of knowledge in Deen I am unable to do this. I studied the website of darsequran a lot and mailed them. They gave your address and asked to contact your Darul Iftha. Sir, I need Qur'an Ayaths and Ahadees connected to this matter and you will be greately appreciated if you could please send them. Allah will reward you for this and I will be waiting for your reply.
Answer	The problem explained by you is infact based on mentality of ignorance and unawareness of Qur'an and Hadees. During the Era of Ignorance people use to boast on one another on superioritiy over the differences of pedigree and lineage, language and color but Islam had erased all these concepts of ignorance and declared the standard of nearness to Allah as Thaqwa and piety as clearly manifested in the following Quraani Aayaath and Blessed Ahaadees..

Question	I would like to know a Fatwa about Gohar Shahi. What does Shari'a say about having connection and associating with the followers of Gohar Shahi?
Answer	Gohar Shahi and his followers due to thier wrong concepts and corrupt doctrines are a misguided group therefore it is not suiable to move with them or have any kind of connection with them thinking that they in the correct path hence it is pertinent to refrain from them at al costs. There is no harm to associate with them for a person who is capable enough to convince them, with the intention of explaining them and bringing them to the fold of correct path. Allah knows best.

Question	My son stays in Karachi. He use to visit the Islamic Propagation Centre of a person called Muhammad Sheikh. On visiting the website of this Centre, I came to know that following are the Aqa'id of this person (Muhammad Sheikh). 1. Does not accept the Hadees of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam. 2. He gives explanation to Qur'an whereas by himself he is not an Alim of Deen. 3. Does not agree with the event of Mi'raj. 4. He says that it is not necessary for ladies to wear shawl while offering Namaz. 5. He says that Hadhrath Eesa Alaihissalam will not return back. My son said that the famous TV artist Ali Afzal Khan too use to come over there to propagate his Aqa'id. Apart from him a person (Saleem Akhthar) whom I knew since long from Dubai, too use to come there and these people making my son go astray. Guidance is sought from the respected Ulemas whether it is correct to visit centres of such people? What does the Shari'a says about having contacts with people who have such Aqa'id? Wassalam.
Answer	If the doctrines and concepts of the concerned person are in fact as is mentioned by the questioner then holder of such a concept is not only a misguided and person who has gone astray form the correct path, but, due to his refutation of Hadees e Mubaraka, on the basis of being among the Munkireen e Hadees he is out from the fold of Islam. Prevent your son from having association with such a person and in the event of his refusal it is allowed to break off ties with him and also to have legal action against him Allah knows best Niyaz Ahmed Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria 20 Sha'ban 1430

Answer	Announcement for Gasth and writing names of those who wish to participate in this work are permissible acts and there is no Shar'i proof in prohibition of them.

Question	Please reply comprehensively to this matter without being submissive to anything because nowadays Ulema use to say Shi'a as Muslims whereas I have read through Moulana Yousuf Ludhyanvi Sahib calling Shi'as as Kafirs in vey clear words. Please help me as I am too much worried in this regard. My brother is Shi'a and I am a Sunni. Are Shi'as not Muslims? At times, it strikes as if they are Muslims and sometimes doesn't. Please resolve my problem. Thank you.
Answer	Shi'as or of different sects, and doctrines of each sect is different. Therefore, there are details in declaring Shias as Kafir, i.e., the sect of Shi'as whose dogmas and doctrines believe, Hadhrath Ali Radhiyallahu Anhu as God; or accept the distortion of Qur'an; or believe that Hadhrath Jibraeel Alaihis Salam did mistakes in descending with Wahi; or accept the slander against Hadhrath A'isha Radhiyallahu Anha as correct; or negating the companionship of Hadrath Abu Bakr Radhiyallahu Anhu; or any other type of dogma which is against Qur'an and manifest Kufr; are of course Kafir. However there is difference of opinion in declaring those Shi'as who do not have any dogma of manifest kufr but criticize and castigate Sahaba Radhiyallhu Anhum Ajma'een etc. as Kafir and those Shi'as who give status to Hadhrath Ali Radhiyallahu Anhu above the status of three Khulafas are although not Kafirs but certainly they are defiant and rebels. There is allowance in having connections and transactions with them but refraining is preferable and better. Therefore it is necessary to try to focus on the concepts of the said Shi'a brother and act accordingly. Shafee'ullah Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria, 4 Zil Qa'da1430

Subject	supplications
Question	Salam. I read recently that there is an hour on friday when all supplications are answered. I wanted to ask if this means that if you ask something for allah in this dunya for example to do well in all my exams that allah will grant my request in this life and that he will give me good grades it will be granted in this life. Does this also apply to asking allah for things for the afterlife. I am also very scared of jinn and shaytan that I do not get up for fajr because of it. What can I do to prevent jinn from entering my house, and what can I do to protect myself from them to stop them harming me, or possessing me or entering my house. Thankyou
Answer	Yes. It means that, whatever supplication is made in the presence of Allah Tha'ala in that hour, whether for worldly purpose or for (Akhira) Hereafter,Allah fulfills his suppication. But at times, his supplication is stored as a treasure for his Aakhira.Therefore about a supplication if it is felt that it is not accepted, should not worry because it is quite possible that Allah Tha'ala would illuminate our life in the Hereafter in lieu of that, which is indeed a very great thing.

Question	What is the status of Shab e Bara’ath (15th night of Sha’ban) in Islam? Does Allah really take account of everybody as to how much Rizq to be allocated etc. etc..? Why does Shab e Bara’ath be celebrated? Waiting for your reply. Please answer me in detail.
Answer	It is impossible to reject the virtues of this night due to the following Hadees and other narrations similar to this. It is understood from some other narrations that this is the night where decision is made on important matters such as death, birth and Rizq (sustenance) etc. of the year's duration by Allah and handed over to the angels. Also the Benevolent Master pays his attention towards His slaves in particular and forgives them (in this night). Apparently due to this reason it is also called Shab e Bara'ath. However, in spite of all this, there is no special Ibadath mentioned for this night and this is the night of individual Ibadath. Whatever Ibadath that could be performed well with convenience should not be missed and should refrain from other useless activities. Allah knows best.

Question	What is the Shar'i standard of doing Qurban in Eid ul Adh'ha? People who have means think that by slaughtering a goat their duty is fulfilled. Is it proper or not to take shares in Qurbani?
Answer	For a person who has means it is compulsory to do Qurbani only on his behalf, either by slaughtering a goat or a sheep or by taking share in a 7th part of a cow, ox or camel. By doing so, his duty will be discharged. However if he is married and the spouse too is a Sahib e Nisab then Qurbani becomes compulsory upon the spouse too. Now, it is better if the Husband does it on behalf of her and informs her, or else it is compulsory for her to do Qurbani from her own wealth. And if a person who has means wishes to perform a Qurbani on behalf of someone else, it is permissible and is also an act of merit and Barakath. Allah knows best.

Question	What do the respected Ulema say in this regard? Zaid is a leather trader and he purchases skin of dead animal from non-muslims on condition that he will deduct the cost of purifying the skin and after purifying he sells the skin. There are thousands of traders like this in India and they have been engaged in this type of business for over 20 years. What is the ruling with regard to the business done by him. Please reply. Thanks
Answer	Although purchase of unpurified skin of dead animal is Bathil (a void contract) but, as the charges of purification is borne by the Hindu seller and since this has become a common occurrence too, it appears to be an allowance in this regard. But what is better is, that the transaction be made after the purification. Allah knows best. Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria, 29 4 1429

Question	1. How often should the pubic hair be cleaned? Can females use blades, scissors (things made of metal)? What portion should be cleansed and which system should be adopted? 2. After how many days break should physical contact be made with husband?
Answer	1. Cleaning of pubic hair and other unnecessary hair once a week is Musthahab (Praiseworthy) and it is Ja'iz (Permissible) to clean once in fifteen days whereas leaving it uncleaned for over forty days is Na Ja'iz (Impermissible) and and act of sin. And for females, although they can use blades, scissors etc for cleaning, the Musthahab way for them is to remove even with the help of any cream or powder. The limit of the pubic hair starts from the first wrinkle below the navel when one sits in squatting position, to, on and around both the private parts, rear and front. 2. There is no Shar'i limit mentioned about this matter. However, as per the physicians, it should be adopted once a month and in a dire need twice a month. If the necessity still persists, then once or twice weekly. As for making it daily or doing many times in the same night is quite harmful to health. (Courtesy; Thuhfathun Nikah) Allah knows best.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum, I want to get confirmation about a matter. I was listening to a Bayan of Moulana Rab Nawaz Hanafi (Sipah e Sahaba) wherein he mentioned the signs of Dajjal quoting reference from Mishkath Shareef page no 477 of volume 1 and said that Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam had informed the sign of Dajjal that there will be green sheets on their heads. Can you please confirm about this? Or are there any other examples where the green sheets are mentioned. Please explain me in detail. Thanking you.
Answer	This sign and symptom is not of Dajjal but of his followers and disciples i.e Green silk sheets will be on them. It is possible that the conerned Moulana too would have explained the same thing which is quite clear in the narration of Hadhrath Aboo Sa'eed al Khudri Radhiallahu Anhu mentioned in page no 477 of the Mishkath Shareef.

Question	Dear Sir, Please answer my question about following quote in light of Quran o Sunnah with fatwa stamp, "only Allah have knowelge of Qiyamat and no one other have knowelge of Qiyamat", and if some one belevie that Hazoor (saw) have knowelge of Qiyamat. he is Kafir or Not.Also i have some relatives, they have follow Ghamidi, and they not like IMAM Shayrani,please inform about Imam Shayrani hi is Sunni and he follow path of sunnah and can we follow his books and writings, As these question very important for me so please reply urgently,Waiting for your quick answer, Thanks Abdul Kareem
Answer	The definite knowledge of the time of occurrence of Qiyamath (resurrection day) is possessed only by Allah and no one else, however, Rasoolullah Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam was informed of the signs of Qiyamath and it was also informed briefly that whatever time it occurs it would be on a 10th Muharram and on a Friday but, Allah Tha'ala did not give the undisputable knowledge of the year of its occurrance to anybody. Therefore, It is against the Qur'an and Sunnath for any person to have the aforesaid Aqida on Rasoolullahi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam. Imam Sha'rani is a true, strong, orthodox, god-fearing, pious, Imam of Shafie Maslak who was a follower of Sunnath and it is beyond doubt, correct to benefit from his writings and books, however, If the questioner is of Hanafi Maslak it is necessary for him to follow Imam Aboo Hanifa Rahmathullahi Alaihi in matters pertaining to (Furu'i Masaa'il) sectional injunctions as mentioned by Imam Sha'rani himself; " Oh my brother! You leave aside descrimination on Imam Aboo Hanifa Rahmathullahi Alaihi and his companions and do not say that his proofs and evidences are weak imitating those who are ignorant of Imam Sahib's situations, his abstinence, piety, devotion and foresight and precautions in religion. (If you say so) your abode will be with the losers. Study and peruse his evidences as we have done and you will realize that the Mazhab of Imam Aboo Hanifa Rahmathullahi Alaihi is amongst the authentic Mazhabs". It is necessary to avoid and refrain from following a person like Ghamidi who disagree and disgust with the pious predecessors and having liberal thoughts. Also one should explain and prevent one's relatives too from following him. Allah knows best. Faheemuddeen, Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria, 16 Jamadil Ukhra 1430

Heard that the occurance had taken place 2 years before in Syria or some other country. Now what is to be known is that whether this incident had taken place or no? If it has taken place then on which basis had Rasoolullah Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam given this prediction to Ummath? After this incident, how should the righteous people of the present day take steps keeping in front of them the other predictions whatsoever given by Rasoolullah Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam with regard to the signs of Qiyamath? Rasoolullah Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam has foretold all what is to be happend and the history too enlightens us about the future as mentioned in Al-Bidayah Wan Nihayah. Yet, how is it to proceed forward without having a deep study on these things? Kindly reply in detail with regard to these things in the light of Qur'an and Sunnath and be rewarded in both the worlds. Also please console us so that we succeed in Dunya and Aakhira. Aameen!

Also please tell how human body after death can answer to angels if its destroyed in accident or is in water or in space. Please point out relevant quranic verses or hadith. Please dont mind these questions, I am muslim and trying to offer my prayers regularly and want my heart clean from any questions that come to mind. I have no doubt on Allah's being able to do anything anytime anywhere. I have no doubt that Allah will re-born humans on judgement day. However, everything that Allah does while creating sky and planet and everything afterwards, has some logical and/or physical reasons (except miracles) some of which are very clear after advancement of science and some may get clear at some future time.

Question	Assalamoalaekum I am liviing in Shenzhen China. Allah has blessed me with a son here. I want to do his Aqiqa, it not convenient to find animal for Zabeeha in normal days. Can I do it in the form of money paid to some reasonable place? What is the amount of money to be paid for it if it is jaiz. Is there any citeria for buying animal for aqiqa. Look forward for your kind guidance.
Answer	Doing Aqiqa is such an act which is Musthahab (Praiseworthy) to do on the 7th 14th or the 21st day of the child's birth. And it's connection is only with slaughtering of an animal. If it is not convenient to reach for an animal in a particular place or if there are some other temporary helplessness this could even be postponed. However it is possible and permissible too, to perform this Musthahab act through a reliable person or an institution if one wishes so.

Answer	If a person possesses the value of 52 ½ Tolas of Silver from valuables of Zakath i.e., Gold, Silver,Currency, Merchandises and extra things beyond necessity including the price of the TV, then it is not permissible to give Zakath to such a person. If the value does not reach this amount then there is allowance to give him Zakath, yet, what is preferable is that the person concerned sell the TV first and fulfill his requirements.

Question	Assalam o alaikum, Maulana sahab, I am a partner in a business. i have just joined the factory some years back. Alhamdulillah Allah gave some talab to implement our lives on din. my father and two uncles are also partners in this factory. now i need to know two masail: 1- We halal a cow in the factory premises every month with the intention (niyat) of sadqa, the beef (meat) is then distributed equally among the labor (mazdoor) and the staff members also. Staff and labor both consists of some people who earn more than Ten thousand rupees per month. Some of the new people (staff or labour) who are employed in the factory are not always reminded that the cow is of sadqa. NOW my question is that (a) as owners of the factory, is this sadqa correct and according to shariah fall in sadqa category (b) if not, how can it become sadqa, please explain the procedure and conditions to be followed in detail. 2 - THE second mas'ala is : within the factory there is a prayer room or musalla', where two or one time jamat is done. after the zuhr namaz is completed (after sunnats and nafil of zuhr) all the partners and some employees sit and do tasbeeh of "laho la wala quwwata illah billa hil aliyy'il azueem" on "aalo bukhara seeds" (beeds). Since years, this act is done everyday without gap, except for fridays as its not a jama masjid. when one of the owners was asked about the niyat of this act, he said it is done for 'barkat' and 'sawab'. Is this act correct in light of shariah? please enlight me with detials with concrete facts and sources with the name of the mufti sahab on it who will be giving the answers so that i can present it to my father and uncles who are the decision makers. JazakAllah
Answer	1. If this Sadaqa is not of Wajib but given only with the intention of attaining Blessings and Barakath and to relieve from difficulties and calamity then it is permissible for all, rich and poor to eat it. If not so then explain the matter in detail and re verify the Shar’i ruling on it. 2. If it is not made mandatory and not considered as an act of excessive reward it is correct to do so just as a Wazheefa ( a daily prayer/worship). Allah knows best.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum I would like to know that if Aslam has taken the land from the owner Amjad on contract (rent), who will pay the Ushur of the land? The owner of the land or the one who does cultivation on it? If the cultivator pays then how much? Ex. The cultivator gives 50000 as rent for the land and another 50000 on seeds and fertilizer etc. while at the end of the year he sells his harvest for 150000. Now the Ushr has to be paid on 150000 or on his profit? As 2500 comes from 100000 as Zakath of 2.5% what will be the % on Ushr? Or how much to be paid on 100000? Note: Land is not cultivated with rain water. May Allah reward you.
Answer	In this circumstance it is incumbent upon Aslam to pay half tenth of the total harvest i.e. one out of twenty or five out of hundred as Ushr. After paying this amount he would pay the contractor’s amount or any other expences. Allah knows best. Faheemuddeen Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria. 14 Jamadil Akhir 1430

Question	Dear Mufti Abdullah Saab, kindly answer the following questions in the light of Quran and Hadees: 1- do we have to make niyah for sadaqa or giving (for example Rs.200 in masjid) and amount without any niyah can be considered as sadqa? 2- if we want the sawab of our sadqa to be transsfered to our parents wife or any one, will we have to make niyah for that as well? what niyah can be made in this case. 3- is their any particular % for giving sadaqa from our salary?. Jazak Allah Khair Bundah Kamran Haider
Answer	1. It is necessary to specify and make Niyyath (intention) at the time of giving any kind of Sadaqa. NIyyath is the name of the intention and the firm idea that comes in one’s mind. If a person intends to spend some money in building a certain mosque and later, while paying the money, even if he could not tell anything in words still he gets the complete reward. However if he utters it in words it is much better. 2. Yes it is permissible and correct to make intention of doing Esal e Sawab (Bestowing Rewards) to a single soul or all the Mumin males and females and the reward of the complete Sadaqa will be received by the intended soul and also to the one who did the Sadaqa. 3. There is no particular amount or a percentage of salary is specified for Nafl Sadaqa in Shari’a. May give in Sadaqa whatever amount is possible to the extent of one’s capacity. However it is better to give in Sadaqa such an amount once and for all so that the receiver need not have to ask from another one for that days requirement. Allah knows best. Niyaz Ahmed.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum! I am in possession of 200 valued 100 Prize Bonds and they are with me for almost for the past one year. How much Zakath do I have to pay on them?
Answer	The value of the said Prize Bonds according to the price of Silver is equal to the Nisab of Zakath even today. Hence if the questioner is already in possession of the Nisab of Zakath, the Zakath for these bonds too will become obligatory when Zakath becomes obligatory on his other valuables that are counted for Zakath. If he is already not in possession of the Nisab of Zakath then it is incumbent to give the 40th part of the total value of these bonds to Fukaraa and Masaakeen after the completion of one full lunar year from the date of purchase.

Mufthi Sahib what I want to know is that when we go to people they ask about the number of students and about the expences etc. etc.. If we tell them in excess i.e. If we tell them the number of students as 4000 whereas actual number is 2000 and likewise in expenses too if we tell them more, will that be included in falsehood (considered as lie)? Remember! the purpose of the lie is only and only to get more funds and to get the Madrasa and the students benefited.
Answer	To disclose more than the actual number of students or the actual monthly expenses etc. are undoubtedly based on falsehood and deceit and to do so, whatever the intention be, is impermissible according to Shari’a. Therefore it is incumbent to disclose the actual number and the amount instead of the aforesaid practice. Allah knows best. Muhammad Asif Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria, 12 Rabi us Saani 1429

May Allah enlighten the entire world through your wisdom and make it a Sadaqa e Jari'a for you......aameen! Is each boy, adult or minor entitled for Zakath? (Can they be fed in the Mess, through the aid of Zakath) Parents are not entitled while the children do not have money upto the Zakath limit since the money is with parents. Hope that you will broaden our mind in a sympathetic way at your earliest. May Allah reward you. Awaiting the reply.
Answer	Those minor children whose parents are Sahib e Nisab are not entitled to receive Zakath whereas adult children who are not Sahib e Nisab and also those minor children whose fathers are not Sahib e Nisab are entitled to receive Zakath money. Now, let it be cleared that if Zakath and non-Zakath funds are mixed in any Mess of a Madrasah it is permissible for all to eat from the Mess. Or else, if the matter is resent with whatever details, Insha Allah the Shar’i ruling on it could be informed according to the details. Allah knows best.

Question	1. Can I give Zakath to a relative of mine (who is entitled too to receive Zakath) without informing him? 2. Instead of giving cash in Zakath, is it possible to give essential things such as floor, material, jewelleries for their children's wedding and mobile phone etc?
Answer	It is not essential to inform while giving Zakath that it is Zakath. However while calculating or giving to those who are entitled it is necessary to have the Niyyath of Zakath whereas it is allowed to give the said items too, as Zakath instead of giving money as Zakath.

Question	Most respected Hazrath Mufthi Sahib, Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmathullahi wa Barakathuhu! May Allah enlighten the entire world through your wisdom and make it a Sadaqa e Jari'a for you......aameen! The money utilized in Madrasa"s Mess is 95% from the aid of Zakath. What arrangement can be made for respected Asathiza (who are not entitled for Zakath) from the Mess as ration against salary........ Entertainment for guests of Madrasa.........Arrangements of meals for all the students whereas students are adults and minors and also the parents who are entitled and not entitled to receive Zakath..... Please send detailed reply so that work will become convenient. Please reply even if there is no provision in Shari'a. Jazakumullah Khaira. Awaiting reply.
Answer	It is not permissible to feed those who are not entitled to receive Zakath from the funds of Zakath regardless of them being students, teachers or employees. By this (act) the Zakath of the givers too would not be executed. However, if a reasonable amount is added for those who are barred from Zakath from a non-Zakath fund then there is no harm in giving them food. Otherwise it is incumbent to abstain from it.

Question	Assalamu Alaikum! How much money can be retained from the collections after receiving them by a person who is appointed to collect contributions?
Answer	It is not only impermissible at all, for one who takes contributions for any Madrasah to collect some amount personally for himself from the contributions, but also it is Na Ja’iz (invalid) according to the Shari’a since it is based on betrayal and deception and it is essential to refrain from it. However, the best method is that the owners and the administrators of the concerned organization fix a salary for such persons, or else it is possible to fix an amount based on a certain percentage of the collected contributions as salary.

Question	Assalamualaikum I am a student of a Deobandi madrasa in Pakistan and my darja sabia is going to start now. As my studies were progressing in the madrasa, I noticed a few unusual things in Madaris. Since I am a student of chartered accountancy also, I have observed that the financial system in deeni madaris is very poor especially the use of donations. Donations such as Zakat are collected and after doing a particular sort of Heela (i.e. the substance of that money is changed from Zakat money into normal usable money), it is even used for paying salaries of employees. Millions of Rupees collected in the name of Zakat are used in this way. I would like you to please clarify this issue to me in the light of Qur\'an and Hadith. I hope you will answer my question soon.
Answer	By a strategy accepted in Shari’a due to a compelled situation, if ownership is transferred , although there is an allowance to utilize it in spending on the said fields, yet , it is not correct to make it a practise and should refrain from it.

Question	What do the respected Ulema say about this matter? A person carries the Qura'an Majeed and swears that he would not do a certain work and the same person after a little while does the same work what he swore not to do. What will be the Kaffara that has to be performed in excuse of this? Jazakallah.
Answer	If the person carried Qur’an Majeed in his hand and said that “I swear that I do not do this work” then undoubtedly the oath is executed and by doing against it he breaks the oath and, as a result, Kaffara (compensation) becomes incumbent on it. Compensation for breaking the oath is to feed completely 10 (ten) poor people with morning and evening meals or to clothe ten poor people. If not capable of doing so then he should observe fasting for 3 consecutive days. Allah knows best. Noor Habib Shah, Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria, 17 Safar 1429

Question	It is one year since I got married and I have to give zakath on my jewellery. What I want to ask is that my husband is not financially in sound situation to become Sahib e Nisab. How should I give zakath on my Jewellery?
Answer	If the applicant possesses in her ownership 12 ½ Tola of Gold or 52 ½ Tola Silver, or, some Cash some Gold some Silver and some Merchandise with a cumulative value equalling 52 ½ Tola or more of Silver, then she will be considered in Shari’a as a Sahib e Nisab (Possessor of wealth to give Zakath). After the lapse of one lunar year from the time of her ownership to the said amount of wealth it becomes necessary on her to give 40th part of her wealth as Zakath. Payment of this 40th part could be made either in gold and silver or in cash and the rulings for both are the same. Allah knows best. Muhammad Ismail Darul Iftha, Jamia Binnoria. 11 Safar 1429.

Question	What is the Islamic ruling about the following,I have a own taxi which I drive for my daily earnings.Apart from this I have a own house and land.Now my question is,Is Zakaat Wajib on taxi's?...........Arif Billah
Answer	Zakath does not become Wajib on the said Taxi and on the value of the owned house. However, if the income derived from the Taxi is in excess to the expenses of the day to day needs and also if the plot is meant for trading and the cumulative value of both (land and the excess income) is amounting to the Zakath Nisab, then after the completion of one year it becomes Wajib upon the applicant to execute Zakath , otherwise no.

Question	My father has done Haj. My mother died this year. Can my father perform Haj e Badal for my mother? Please inform with details.
Answer	If the applicant mother has not made a Vasiyyath (last will) to perform Haj e Badl on her behalf, or a Vasiyyath is made but her inheritance does not suffice to fulfill her wish then it is not incumbent upon the inheritors to perform Haj on her behalf. However if any heir on his own wish wishes to perform Haj e Badl to bestow it’s reward for any deceased, it is permissible in Shari’a and the Benevolent Rab would accept it and bestow it’s Sawab to the late mother.

Answer	If your parents are of Sahib e Nisab and they can bear up by themselves all the expenses in executing the obligation of Haj then in such a status Haj become Fardh (Obligatory) upon them. If they do not own the expenditure of Haj it does not become obligatory upon them just because you are rich and Sahib e Nisab. However if you make them perform Haj it will be a source of Sawab and reward for you and undoubtedly it will also be a great fortune for you. Allah knows best.

However if there is a poverty stricken person in a constrained situation, a needy relative, a member of the family of Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam or someone from among the council of advisors/mentors were found to be in a more needy and destitute situation it is more better to aid them financially than performing a Nafl Haj whereas in normal conditions it is better and virtuous to perform Nafl Haj Allah knows best.
