Tasbeeh in bowing and prostration is Sunnah, not obligation
Assalaamu alaykum. I have just concluded the Maghrib prayer behind the imam (I was following behind the imam) when I got up from bowing and realized (or at least predominantly believe) that I forgot to do tasbeeh (saying 'sobhaan Allaah') even once. At the time, I was distracted with errant thoughts and did not realize until I was in the middle of the.. More

Is it permissible to make the intention for i‘tikaaf (spiritual retreat) in the mosque even before actually starting it and to express this by saying, “I intend to observe i‘tikaaf as long as I am staying in the mosque?” I heard the imam say this on some occasion.

Ignorance about the obligation of making up missed fasts in Ramadan and the valid way of performing prayer
Due to my ignorance about religious matters, I did not make up for days of fasting that I missed in Ramadan due to valid excuses. I did not know the valid way of performing the prayer either. After about twenty years, I have come to know that I have to make up for the days of fasting that I missed. However, my health condition is not good enough to.. More

One is allowed to talk to his family on the phone during i‘tikaaf
Is it permissible for a Muslim who is observing i‘tikaaf (spiritual retreat) in the mosque during the last ten days of Ramadan to talk on the phone with his family to check upon them? He would only do this a few times throughout the entire period of his i’tikaaf. Also, he would talk to them in the washing area, not inside the mosque.

Reciting while sitting in obligatory prayer
My dearly beloved, peace be unto you. My question is in regards to sitting in the obligatory prayer; I stand for the first takbeer (saying Allaahu Akbar) and then sit down for the rest of the prayer. After the prayer was over, the brother whom I was sitting next to, who was also sitting down, told me that I should either sit or stand, is it wrong to.. More

Lifting nose, hand or foot during prostration does not invalidate prayer
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. While prostrating, do both of the hands have to have contact with the floor, with the palms flat on the floor? I read somewhere that if you do not have both your feet or both your hands on the floor, then your prayer is invalid. Sometimes, I scratch myself with one of my hands, so I do not touch the.. More

A small screen that displays the number of prostrations performed is mounted on the product. It does not contain any video or music. People often forget.. More
