Praying two Rak‘ahs before Maghrib and ‘Ishaa'
Assalaamu alaykum. With regards to praying two Rak‘ahs (units of prayer) before the Maghrib prayer or ‘Ishaa’ prayer, do the scholars who say that it is recommended mean that one should pray it all the time? May Allaah reward you.

Suspecting imaam of committing immorality
Two friends of our masjid's imam lived in the masjid with him for some time. They were mature adults and were getting religious education. They suddenly left the masjid and then wrote a letter to the masjid's committee saying that the imam was keeping one minor student in his room at night and sleeps with him on the same bed. The committee fixed a time.. More

Fate of one who believes that missing prayers deliberately is only sin and not Kufr
Respected Shaykh,
In fatwa no. 83724, you have mentioned that the scholars differed with regards to a person becoming a disbeliever if they deliberately miss a prayer (or prayers) out of laziness. Some said that this person still remains a believer while others said that he has become a disbeliever. Each group has their evidences. My question is.. More

Slight movement while praying does not negate Tuma'neenah
Assalaam alaykum. I have a few more questions about ease in prayer. These answers will help me very much, Allaah willing:
1. In each position, does the praying person have to recite the required Athkaar (plural of Thikr [expressions of remembrance of Allaah]) while simultaneously being completely still? If a person recites while not being completely.. More

Imaam left prayer and second imaam started Al-Faatihah from beginning
Assalaamu alaykum. While praying the Maghrib prayer, the imam's ablution broke, and another person took the lead with a new recitation of Al-Faatihah. When we finished, it was said that we should prostrate because the previous imam had commenced reciting Al-Faatihah and that the second imam, instead of continuing from where the first one had stopped,..

Swallowing phlegm during the prayer
Assalaamu alaykum. I thank you for your responses regarding previous questions about the prayers. I keep trying to get better in my worship. I often catch a cold just because of the weather or just because of taking a bath. During prayers, the mucus bothers me, and I have some minor difficulty breathing. So then I sniff the mucus so that it does not.. More

Refraining from joining group supplication with imaam
Assalaamu alaykum. In our masjids, the imam supplicates together with the congregation (which is considered a religious innovation) after the prayer. So some brothers leave the masjid as the imam starts supplicating in order to show their dislike towards religious innovations. However, in that case, they do not complete their Thikr (remembrance of Allah).. More

Listening to Friday sermon not obligatory on women
This is a trivial question, but there is a mosque nearby my house, and they always hold the Friday prayer there. I am a woman, and I can vaguely hear the sermon becaise they use a loud speaker. What is the ruling on listening to it for me? Is it obligatory or optional?

Putting pictures of graves of Awliyaa' on mosque walls
Assalaamu alaykum. I am from South India. In my neighborhood mosque, the walls of the northern and southern sides are decorated with pictures of various tombs of graves of certain well-known persons called 'valiullahs'. To what extent is this new trend justifiable? I personally objected it. Kindly guide us in the light of the Quran and the Sunnah. May.. More

Praying among people while crying and shaking
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, Shaykh. I weep at times during the prayer, without making sound, but my body moves when I cry, and hence my shoulders, who are in physical contact with other people, move; is there any harm if I pray in the masjid? I like to pray in the two Holy Mosques (Makkah and Al-Madinah). I have more Khushoo (humble.. More

Men covering head while praying
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. If I do not cover my head during prayer to show that it is not obligatory in Islam, is that good or not? Our elders in the Salafi masjid raise questions about it. What should I do. How should I correct my intention? If I cover my head, is it for the people? And if I do not do so, then questions will..

Ending time of ‘Ishaa’ prayer
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, Shaykhs. I heard that there is a difference of opinion among the scholars regarding the ending time of the ‘Ishaa’ prayer, but I did not know what the right or most correct opinion on this is (which is till midnight and not till dawn), and Allah knows best. I read it a few days ago, and I want to.. More

Praying behind imaam whose creed might be defective
Assalaamu alaykum. I hope you are in the best of health. The following isue has arisen in my life. I know that it is impermissible to pray behind a disbeliever. I live in a Barelvi area. I read that it is permissible to pray behind them if they do not have any beliefs that include Kufr (disbelief) or Shirk (polytheism). I have been praying behind the.. More

Wearing nice clothes in 'Eed
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, Shaykhs. If I keep a separate dress for eid and go to the masjid in it but without it being displayed, wearing an abaya and being properly covered, for the eid prayer, will I have the reward of following the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam? I read the following: "It was narrated.. More
