  • Siwaak prescribed before every prayer

    Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. Shaykh, I have a question about the Miswaak (tooth stick). I read a hadith that says that your prayer will be multiplied by 70 if you use a Miswaak before it. So my question regarding this is: if I pray two units of prayer of the Sunnah before the Fajr (or any prayer) and then two units of prayer of.. More

  • Washing or wiping over spot that prevents water from reaching skin

    Assalaamu alaykum. Some scholars have said that if there is a spot on the skin that is difficult to remove in ablution and Ghusl (ritual bath), the ruling is the same as that for a splint, meaning that you wipe over the spot. Other scholars have said that you can just wash it and that that is enough. If you follow the first view for Ghusl and the second.. More

  • Whether ashes from burning impurity is impure

    Assalaamu alaykum. My question is regarding ashes after burning an impure thing: are the ashes of an impure thing (for example, a piece of paper contaminated by pig gelatine or alcohol) impure, or has it become pure through being burned? And my second question is: if a person's name is Abdul-Khaaliq or Mohammad and he carries an ID card with his.. More

  • Brownish discharge after menstruation

    Assalaamu alaykum. I am really confused about my period. I normally see a brownish discharge the first 1-2 days of my menstruation; then, for 4-5 days, I see blood. On the 6th, 7th, 8th days, I see a small amount of (thick) brownish color on my pad every few hours, but it does not soak my pad and only stays on the surface. On the 9th and 10th days (and.. More

  • Clearing confusion regarding vaginal discharge

    Sorry, I wrote this query, but with the wrong email. Please answer me on this email: Assalaamu alaykum. I am confused about your ruling on female discharge during her days of purity. In fatwa No. 358021, you said, "You do not have to wash it. You only need to perform ablution." Then, in fatwa No. 825309, you said, "Whenever the discharge exits from.. More

  • Ghusl with glue that is hard to remove on the body

    Assalaamu alaykum. I have a question regarding glue and Ghusl (ritual shower). I went to the hospital due to my heart condition, and they left a machine on my body for 3 days. It has left glue on my body that is not coming off unless I rub it hard, to the point that the skin starts bleeding. I would like to know whether my Ghusl is valid, because it.. More

My question is about this specific situation: sometimes I unwillingly fall asleep for a few hours and miss a prayer. When I wake up, the current.. More

  • Washing hands and blowing nose thrice upon waking up

    Assalaamu alaykum. I read that when waking up from sleep, a person must wash his hands thrice and sniff water up into his nose and blow it out thrice. Is this to be done before ablution (making the entire thing washing the hands and nose six times altogether, including the washing off the hands and nose during ablution), or is it a part of ablution?..

My family is from Palestine originally, but I live in the US. I heard that I have to follow the Mathhab which the people follow where I live. Most Muslims.. More

    Assalaamu alaykum. If a woman has Mathi (pre-seminal discharge) and she cleans her private parts like she would in Istinjaa’ (cleaning with water), but later in the day, she experiences normal vaginal discharge (which is pure), would the pure discharge mix with the Mathi residues present inside her privates (the inside of the privates that cannot..
