In his Silsilah,Al-Albaani declared pointing between the two prostrations to be an innovation for two reasons. One of those reasons was that "the report from Abdur-Razzaaq is weak because Al-Farayaabi was the only one to report it from Sufyan and he had weakness in his old age, so perhaps it is from his weak reports." Al-Albaani could not confirm that.. More
Assalaamu alaukum. I was arguing with my friends in the room. They wanted to sleep, and I wanted to study. So I switched on the light at my side and switched it off at the other side. They insisted on me switching off all of them. Then, during the argument, he told me that there is a hadith that states that a Muslim who disturbs other Muslims will have.. More
The imam in my locality believes that Allaah is above His Throne. In addition to that, he also believes that Allaah is everywhere. Can I pray behind this imam? [Please do not refer to similar questions that have already been asked on this website.]

Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh. The muezzin in our mosque pronounces the azan very badly. He elonges some things in such a way that the meaning is changed. Is it still prescribed for me to repeat his words? Please note that he has already been advised but does not listen to those advising him.

Once, I accidentally prayed to the left of the imam in congregation; only the imam and I were praying. What should I do about that prayer, should I repeat it; should the imam repeat it? I remember that it was either the Dhuhr or the 'Asr prayer.

Assalamu alaykum. Sometimes, when I bend over to bow or prostrate and say 'Allaahu Akbar', I forget whether I actually said it or not and repeat it. I did that just now for the Thuhr prayer but then felt that I did not properly say Allaahu Akbar properly and repeated it. I was already warned by a religious friend of mine that repeating one of these.. More
Assalaamu alaykum Shaikh. While reading Sahih Al-Bukhaari, I read the following hadith that I already knew. Volume 1, Book 10, Number 560: Abu Sa'id Al-KhudriI narrated that he heard the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam,say, "There is no prayer after the morning prayer till the sun rises, and there is no prayer after the ‘Asr prayer till the..

Assalaamu alaykum. Two are performing the prayer, one as the imam and another following him at his side, a little behind him. Another person enters during the last rak'ah (unit of prayer) during the sajdah (prostration). Should he follow the imam? And how? And if so, then what should the first guy do; move back or sit in sajdah and complete his prayer?.. More
I understand by your fatwa no. 87404 that sleeping naked is permissible in Islam as long as no one would see me, but is it permissible to be nude when alone and ensuring that no one would see me? By that, I mean taking off your clothes when alone and doing everything naked for the comfort of it? Is it haram?

This is a bit urgent, does doing raising from rukoo' or sujood before the imam invalidate one's prayer? If so under what conditions (intentional/unintentional) does the prayer need to be repeated?

Assalaamu alaykum. I have a question regarding the difference between neglecting and forgetting the prayer. If there are 30 minutes left for 'Asrand I wait with the intention of praying in about 15 minutes, and then, while I am eating, I forget about 'Asrand the sun goes down. Does this fall under neglect or forgetting, because I forgot at the end?.. More
Assalaamu alaykum. May Allaah reward you for your service to the Muslim world. Sir, my father is a cancer patient. He spent his whole life preaching religion and hence there is no question that he failed to perform any prayer or fast. His cancer is in the last stages and it has occupied his whole body with pain and other serious problems. His mental.. More
