Combining prayers without traveling
Assalaamu alaykum. I know that we are not allowed to join prayers without travelling unless there is a need and if it is not done as a habit. Even so, I have heard that we must do it in a congregation and in a mosque unless we are travelling. Otherwise, it is not allowed. The reason is that the Prophet 
never joined prayers.. More

Time of 'Asr starts while combining Thuhr and 'Asr
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, Shaykh. I was combining the Thuhr and ‘Asr prayer at the time of the Thuhr, and the azan for the ‘Asr started while I was still praying the ‘Asr. Are my prayers valid? Do I need to repeat them? If yes, then only the ‘Asr, or the Thuhr also? Also, I suffer from illnesses that require the renewal.. More

Prayer of incapacitated person
My mother is paralyzed on the right side. She can only move her left hand and leg. At times, she can remember things, and sometimes she cannot do so. She is unable to speak, except for a few sounds like; aum, oi, attoi and sometimes just humming. All of this makes it difficult to understand what she is trying to say. She wears adult diapers, which she.. More

Ruling on praying on plane
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. Our plane will take off before the Thuhr and land before the ‘Asr (at my destination). However, I fear that because of baggage collection and immigration procedures, I might not be able to pray the Thuhr within its time. In this case, should I pray on the plane? I do not think that I can combine the.. More

Prostrating when praying seated
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, Shaykh. Yesterday, while I was praying the Fajr prayer (I was praying seated due to an illness and was bowing and prostrating while seated on a chair), I forgot to do make my prostration lower than my bowing (I strongly felt that it was almost the same). Hence I worried whether my prayer would be valid.. More

Praying with Tayammum due to old age
I have a grandmother whom I have started to help to pray recently. Given that she cannot get up on her own and that moving is difficult for her, she performs Tayammum (dry ablution). I was not aware of this fact and let her pray without it at first. Does she have to repeat those prayers? Understand that she was not really practising before and that.. More

However, now I suffer pain in my upper back, below the shoulders, and it hurts me if I do not.. 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

Combining prayers to avoid OCD in ablution
Assalaamu alaykum, I suffer from continuos Waswaas (devilish whisperings) regarding ablution, so it takes a lot of time and mental pressure for me to perform ablution each time. Can I combine the Thuhr and ‘Asr and the Magrib and ‘Ishaa so that I can pray two prayers with one ablution till I get rid of this OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder)?

Combining prayers due to old age
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. Praise be to Allaah, my maternal grandmother is over 100 years old. She prays some prayers before their defined time. She prays the ‘Ishaa prayer along with the Maghrib prayer, and the ‘Asr prayer along with the Thuhr prayer. My question is: can she continue praying this way due to her age? When.. More
