Should a Hadith from people of Bid'at/innovations be trusted/accepted?
Should a Hadith from someone in the chain of narration (Isnad) who practices a Bid'ah be accepted? I have heard that if it supports what he is practicing of Bid'ah then it is not accepted but if it does not support his practice it is OK. What if he didn't create that Bid'ah/innovation, and he is tru...

What if he didn't create that Bid'ah/innovation, and he is trustworthy and truthful, does the practicing of this Bid'ah affect the transmission of Hadith he has? What have scholars (looking for the views mainly of Bukari and or Muslim) said on this?

Ayatul-Kursi (Qur'an 2:255 ) is generally said to be of great benefits e.g. it's recitation is encouraged in order to come under divine protection among many other.
Sure it speaks of His Throne. But what makes it so important?
Is there a tradition from Muhammad (saww) which speaks of its importance (at such an exalted level)?
Also, traditions speaking of it's protective nature would be appreciated.

Is planting on the graves forbidden?
I was told from Salafi guy that planting on the grave is forbidden as Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) did it only for himself and none of the Sahaba did it. The Hanafis, Shafi`is, and Hanbalis have all declared it to be recommended to place green stalks and the likes on the graves. If Prophet Muhammad (PBUH...

If Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) did it, I wonder why the Sahaba didn't follow it (if that is true)? Can it be an innovation?

Is burial at sea disrespectful to Muslims?

According to recent reports I've been reading about the death and burial of Osama Bin Laden, I've come across a notion that despite any body preparation that may have been done (washing the body, wrapping it in white, reciting litanies in Arabic), the actual act of burial at sea itself is somehow highly offensive to Muslims.
Is this the case? Is burial at sea, regardless of the personality, itself disrepectful or haram? Is there hadith or Qu'ranic input on this? And, how serious a disrespect would this be, if indeed the allegation is true?

"O Messenger of Allah! I want to go out and fight (in Jihad) and I have come to ask your advice." He said: "Do you have a mother?" He said: "Yes." He said: "Then stay with her, for Paradise is beneath her feet."
Grade : Sahih (Darussalam)
Reference : Sunan an-Nasa'i 3104
In-book reference : Book 25, Hadith 20
English translation : Vol. 1, Book 25, Hadith 3106
Is this hadith not considered shirk meaning paradise lies beneath someones feet and not with Allah swt grace and mercy the only way for our salvation?
Does this hadith have some weakness?

Are there any verses from the Quran or ahadith from the sunna that validate this point?

If you start praying zuhr 5minutes before asr starts, but whilst you are praying it asr starts does it count?
Assalamuailakum, I read that if you perform even one rakat of fajr before sunrise you have caught the prayer. Is this the same if you are praying zuhr and asr starts during it?

This is a copy of another question I deleted. That question was unclear and when edited it seemed nobody got to see the edited version. Therefore, here is a more clear version:
Basically I done wudu and prayed my namaz zuhr and asr. After this I looked in the mirror and realised I had dry skin on my nose. I went to the bathroom washed the dry skin and realised after that it returns to its dry state and nothing changes.So it seems that I shed skin and then new skin is exposed that has no water on it. I don't know if this has happened before the wudu or after so is my wudu invalid? If so what should I do with my Zuhr and Asr prayer?

Salamu'alaikum. Please is it permissible for someone to spend longer time in Sujud while the Imam had already gotten up? If no, kindly help me with the Hadith that prohibits that. Jazakumullah Khairan.
