Determining sunset in mountainous area
The time of Maghrib starts when the sun has completely set. This means that when the disk of the sun goes below the horizon, then the time for Maghrib starts. However, if a person lives in a very hilly area and tries to look at the sun with his eyes to determine when it sets, it will appear to set earlier behind the hills. A note on this can be found..

Starting congregational Fajr prayer 25 minutes before sunrise
I read on your website that one should pray the Fajr prayer individually if the congregation at the masjid starts only 10 minutes before sunrise. What if the congregation starts about 25 min before sunrise? Is this also a significant delay (due to which one should pray individually)?

Performing Fajr prayer before its time is impermissible
Assalaamu alaykum. I pray that this finds you in the best of health. I am a revert, alhamdulillah. I live with my non-Muslim family, and they do not exactly support my decision to become a Muslim. My problem is with the Fair prayer. I am afraid that they will kick me out or retaliate if they catch me praying, and the Fajr starts after everyone has woken.. More

Performing Fajr congregational prayer ten minutes before sunrise
Assalaamu alaykum. I live in Bangladesh. There is an uncommon practice here in the mosques. That is, most of the mosques here pray the Fajr congregational prayer right before sunrise (ten minutes before only). As a result, many a times, when I finish the congregation, I see that the daylight has appeared! If I accidently miss one raka'ah (unit of prayer),.. More

The time for Maghrib prayer lasts until ‘Isha prayer
Is it permissible to repeat the prayer because of not knowing a particular ruling? When I was praying the ‘Asr prayer I had doubts about how many rakats I had prayed, so I performed sujood as-sahw (prostration of forgetfulness). But afterwards I learned the right way to do sujood as-sahw. So I repeated my prayer, however I did so about 16 minutes.. More

Thinks that he is praying on time but then finds out that its due time had already passed
I sometimes wake up in the morning not knowing if the sun rose or not. I notice the break of morning, but there is still some darkness. Thus, I pray the Subh (morning) prayer on time and then pray at another time as making up for the prayer. Is this right or should I just pray it the first time?

Delaying prayer to pray in congregation in the Masjid
Assalaamu alaikum, dear shaykh we are Ahl-ul-Hadees and we both try pray zuhr prayer at Awwal Waqt at 12:15 according to Azaan software (Islamic finder) whereas in nearby hanafi masjid the salah is established 1 hour and 15 minutes later at 1:30 pm. So is it better to pray alone (or two, three person at office) or is it better to wait 1 and half hour.. More

Validity of prayer whose Athaan is called before its prescribed time starts
Asalamu alikum We here in Srinagar Kashmir follow a particular salah timing chart. According to that chart, for example, the Asr salah begins at 4:19 and Isha Salah begins at 8:55. But unfortunately, the masjid committee allows the mu'adin to pronounce Adhan at 4:15 for Asr Salah and at 8:45 for Isha Salah. Though we offer salah well after the beginning.. More

And he starts the prayer at 3:39pm and he has just said the opening takbir and began to pray or is still reciting al fatihah when the prayer time ends. Do he have to pray the prayer again with the intention of making.. More

Praying ‘Asr before its due time because of work
I work in a restaurant in the U.K. and I work for two days a week, non-stop (i.e. without any breaks) and thus, I cannot pray ‘Asr at its due time (on these days). I cannot perform prayers during working hours in this non-Muslim country, so I pray ‘Asr one hour before its due time. Is it permissible for me to do so? Advise me in this regard. May.. More
