I‘tikaf of one who goes to work and goes home to bathe
My husband wants to observe i‘tikaf (ritual seclusion in the mosque) in Ramadan, Allah Almighty, willing. He will observe it in a masjid near our house. Is it valid that he comes home after finishing work and takes a bath and then goes to the masjid and repeats this process throughout the period of i‘tikaf? He also comes home before he goes to work..

Difficulty pronouncing Athkaar in prayer
Assalaamu alaykum. I have difficulty pronouncing the Athkaar (pl. of Thikr [expressions of remembrance of Allaah]) silently. Therefore, most times, when I pray behind the imam, I am unable to complete the recitation of the Athkhaar before he moves on to the next position. That said, when this occurs, I sometimes try to force the recitation of the Athkhaarso.. More

Performing Sujood as-Sahw with imaam before finishing Tashahhud
Assalaamu alaykum. I was praying the ‘Asr prayer and got to the last unit of prayer and was saying the Tahiyyaat. Because I have a speech problem, I got delayed on the Tahiyyaat, and the imam performed Sujood Sahw(prostration of forgetfulness). I performed the Sujood Sahw with him and the congregation but then afterwards (before the Salam) did the.. More

Standing after first Tashahhud not obligation when praying while sitting
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, Shaykh. I sit and pray even for the obligatory prayer due to pain in my feet, but I bow while standing and start praying while standing as it is a short period of standing. I know that standing is an essential pillar of the prayer, but I am confused on whether I must stand after the first Tashahhud.. More

Prayer of someone who cannot pronounce a letter correctly
What is the ruling on pronouncing the letter Daal (corresponding to D in English) in a way that sounds to people like Taa’ (corresponding to T in English) while reciting Al-Fatihah? I sometimes pronounce it correctly as I keep on repeating the verses to the extent that I frequently miss bowing with the Imam. When I bowing, he would be prostrating.. More

Why the Imam of Al-Masjid Al-Haram stands opposite to the door of Al-Ka‘bah
I noticed that the Imam who leads the Muslims in prayer in Makkah prays toward one direction only, which is that opposite to the door of the honorable Ka‘bah. Why does he not pray towards the other three directions of the Ka‘bah, since, as I know, it is valid to pray towards all four directions?

Reward of prayer varies according to the hardship involved
I work the night shift from 10:00 pm to 10:00 am and I pray Fajr at the mosque as I stay up all night because of my work. Is my reward of the Fajr prayer equal to that of someone who works during the day time and sleeps at night then wakes up at the time of Fajr specially to offer the prayer at its due time although he works all day? Another question;.. More

Supplicating during prostration can be done with both narrated and non-narrated supplications
Please advise me regarding some supplications that I have come accustomed to saying during prostrations; I do not know if they are allowed or not. These supplications include sayings like 'Rabbi-shrah li sadri wa yassir li amri…' [My Lord, expand my chest and make things easy for me…], 'Allahumma waffiqni lita‘atika' [O Allah! Make me succeed..

Ruling on joining prayers because non-Muslims do not like to see someone praying
I am studying in a Jewish college and it is not possible for me to pray during class times. Furthermore, the Jews do not like to see us pray in public places. As such, I pray sitting in my car at the time of the Thuhr and ‘Asr, as I would also be unable to keep my ablution if I were to leave the campus. Is this acceptable from a sharia perspective?
