Does my father need to clean the alleged place where he was licked by a dog a few decades ago from najis in order to begin doing prayers?
My father is a Muslim, but unlike me, he does not do prayers. In his youth, a few decades ago, he was licked by a dog. As far as I know, the dog belongs to a hard-to-remove najis, and to remove it, you need to wash the place 7 times with water, and 1 time with water mixed with clean earth so that th...
My father is a Muslim, but unlike me, he does not do prayers. In his youth, a few decades ago, he was licked by a dog. As far as I know, the dog belongs to a hard-to-remove najis, and to remove it, you need to wash the place 7 times with water, and 1 time with water mixed with clean earth so that the water will be cloudy. The question is, does my father need first of all to clean the alleged place where the dog licked him from najis (my father does not remember exactly where the dog licked him), since he wants to start doing prayers?

Assalamualaikum, I have been having this doubt for a while now, and no one seems to have an answer, I know that lash extensions and fake lashes invalidate wudu as water can’t pass through and reach ur real lashes as the false lashes sit on top of your natural lashes, however with clusters they are applied underneath your real lashes so wouldn’t water reach?

Recently I have been wondering regarding something that I've been hearing since childhood.
when we stand in the congregation for the obligatory prayer making the lines, the imam says in arabic a few phrases. i can make out that what he says is to make the lines in accordance with the sunnah (*our mother tongue is not arabic*)
my question is that is it a must to say that in arabic everytime before we start the prayer?, or is it sunnah?, or are they doing it just to remind us to make the lines straight as its kind of like the responsibility of the imam.

Rules for receiting a surah during salat
If I look at youtube, an imam may recite a surah X from ayah a to b, or surah Y from ayah c to d during a salat. For example Al Baqarah from ayah 153 - 158, Humazah from ayah 1 - 9, or Ash Shu'ara from ayah 86 - 104, etc. Where do we learn this ? How do we know that we can recite Al Baqarah 153 - 15...

How do we know that we can recite Al Baqarah 153 - 158, and not 157 - 159, or 151 - 155 ? If I look at either the quran.com or quranwbw.com, there is no symbol whatsoever that indicate it.

Problems with praying Jumuah at non-muslim school

I go to a non-muslim school with barely any muslim boys there, and the majority of them do not take their religion seriously. The school did not allow me to leave at lunch to pray at the mosque. I go to the school prayer room every Friday to pray Jumuah, however, I find myself to be alone there and that none of the other boys have showed up. Due to this, I resort to praying Dhuhr.
Am I required to go around the school and find some boys every Friday and call them to pray with me? I tried this once with another boy, and he said he would come pray Jumuah with me next Friday, but he did not come.
Am I sinful in this situation? I don't know what to do.

Making dua during Quran ayat of sajdah or sujūd
Is it permissible to make dua during a sunnah sajdah (i.e. one of the 15) in the Qu'ran? I remember reading somewhere that it is not permissible to do so - rather we should say subhana rabbi al A'la (x3) and raise after that. What is the most authentic opinion on this?

Assalamualaikum,
I've been constantly experiencing was was in all aspects of worship
(do not read if ur facing the same situation as I ended up mimicking other people's obsessive actions as well)
whether it is my wudhu that I have to redo 3+ more time or doubting the purity of my clothes, my pronunciation ect...
or if I released discharge during prayer (this one always turns out to be false so it easier for me to ignore it ) but there's also mainly if I did one or two sajda. For the later one recording myself praying and then checking made me realize that I've always performed it well everytime.
So can I not even second guess it even tho the doubt is strong and am I allowed to not repeat any Salah regardless of how doubtful am I at least until the waswas is gone? and will Allah hold me accountable for not acting upon anything until it gets better?

Improper performance of prayers (namaz) and ghusl in the past

I've been praying since I was 13 years old, but now I'm learning about all the new nuances that, as it turned out, made all my prayers invalid. First, I learned that during ghusl, you need to wash the skin under your nails, straighten your hair with your fingers so that the water reaches your scalp, and rinse your navel, but I didn't do that because I didn't know that I need to do it. I performed a new, correct, ghusl. It's been 1 month, and now I've learned that during prostration (sudjud) you need to touch the floor/carpet with your nose, but I didn't know, and I didn't touch the floor with my nose. Question: Do I need to make up for all the previous prayers now? Now I am afraid that I will do prayers, and after a long time I will find out about some minor nuance again, and again all my prayers will be invalid.

I have a question regarding wuduu and purity. I made wuduu and I was packing my clothes as we were heading back home from travelling, as I was packing I touched my dirty clothes my accident that I put on the side for laundry to wash when I head back home (such as dirty undergarments/pajamas). I then just used some sanitiser and prayed as it was prayer time maybe after it by a couple of minutes. It’s all dry however there were all in a laundry bag all together before I transferred it to the bag. Should I redo my prayer?

Asslam o alaikum to all of my brothers and sisters.. Well my question is that i have searched in google that when a person swallow his saliva while fasting is this breaks persons fast..? Everywhere it shows that swallowing saliva will not breaks persons fast but whenever i do sehri after sehri my mouth suddenly filled with water till iftari so is this ok to swallow that much saliva?.. Most people do not fell that much saliva in their mouth as i do..Mostly i spit out but after 2 or 3 mint again my mouth fill with water.. Iam not good in english but i hope you get whatever i said. My question is only that is this ok to swallow that much saliva? But it's very hard for me to not to swallow saliva while praying salah in the month of ramadan.. We don't use tissues while praying salah so i swallow my saliva because there is no any other way of spitting out while praying salah specially in the month of ramdhan

Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
It has been said that each prayer has a specific hikmah behind it.
For instance, it has been said that for fajr, it was because Adam عليه السلام saw darkness and became afraid and so prayed a rak’at due to fear, and when it became light he prayed another rak’at due to gratefulness — and this became Fajr. (Source: https://www.islamweb.net/ar/library/content/307/1937/باب-الصلاة-الوسطى-أي-الصلوات-هي-)
Is this true? JazakAllah khair

Does vaginal flatulence break wudu?
Otherwise known as queefn This can occur when air is trapped in the you know what and then is released producing a farting sound. This often occurs when I rukuu or Sujud and I was wondering if it falls under the category of passing gas and if so do I need to retake wudhu?

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah, a maliki argued with me that some sahaba prayed with their hands on side, he mentioned these sahahba : -‘Abdullah ibn Zubayr [s/o -Sayyiduna Zubayr and -Sayyidatuna Asma bint Abi Bakr]
-Muhammad al-Baqir
-Ja’far as-Sadiq
-Musa al-Khadhim
-Hasan al-Basri [Student of Imam ‘Ali]
-an-Nakha’i [tabi’i and student of ‘Abdullah ibn Abbas]
-Layth ibn Sa’ad [teacher of Imam as-Sahfi’i who said about him – ‘kana afqah min Malik – ‘He was more learned than Malik’]
-Imam al-Awzai [Mujtahid Imam of ahlus-Shaam whose madhab died out]
-ibn al-Qasim
-ibn Abu’l HakamIs
He Provided evidence for one and it follows :
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah (Volume 1, Page 391, Hadith 3946): It is narrated that some of the companions, including Abdullah ibn Zubayr and Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib, prayed with their hands at their sides. The report goes:
"عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ: كَانَ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ إِذَا صَلَّى تَرَكَ يَدَيْهِ، وَلَمْ يَضَعْ إِحْدَاهُمَا عَلَى الْأُخْرَى."
Translation: Ibn Jurayj said: "When Ibn Zubayr prayed, he would leave his hands (by his sides) and not place one of them over the other."
Please tell me if any of those companions including Abdullah ibn zubayr praying with hands on side is authentic or not. jazakAllahu khayrann
