Relation between sun and Qiblah
Respected scholars, assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. I want to know whether there is any connection between the sun and the direction of the Qiblah. Some say that we have to keep our backs towards the sun, and some say that we should keep our face towards the sun to face the Qiblah while unable to find the right direction of it. Which.. More

Little uncovered hair does not invalidate woman's prayer
I have a special hijab that I wear when I pray. Sometimes my hair in the back pokes out through the fabric, not full length hair strands but almost like half a cm of hair. I do not think that you can see it unless if you watch closely. I wonder whether my prayers are invalid when this happens. If they are invalid, do I have to make up for all my prayers?.. More

Any pure place is fit for prayer
Assalaamu alaykum. I have read the other fatwas, but I could not get the exact answer for my question. I have a question regarding the prayer. I am a university student, and the distance from my home to my school is 47 kilometers. I take two trains to get there.

A family member of mine has a question about the permissibility of something in regards to the gathering for prayer.

Performing Fajr prayer before its time is impermissible
Assalaamu alaykum. I pray that this finds you in the best of health. I am a revert, alhamdulillah. I live with my non-Muslim family, and they do not exactly support my decision to become a Muslim.

Being naked while alone
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?

Performing Fajr congregational prayer ten minutes before sunrise
Assalaamu alaykum. I live in Bangladesh. There is an uncommon practice here in the mosques. That is, most of the mosques here pray the Fajr congregational prayer right before sunrise (ten minutes before only). As a result, many a times, when I finish the congregation, I see that the daylight has appeared! If I accidently miss one raka'ah (unit of prayer),.. More

Praying in a studio room
Assalaamu alaykum Shaykh. I was wondering; in a regular room for sleeping and maybe even cooking, where there is a basin from which one can get flowing water and one makes wudu in this basin, washes parts of his body and brushes his teeth, and so on; is the prayer made in this room invalid? May Allaah reward you.

The time for Maghrib prayer lasts until ‘Isha prayer
Is it permissible to repeat the prayer because of not knowing a particular ruling? When I was praying the ‘Asr prayer I had doubts about how many rakats I had prayed, so I performed sujood as-sahw (prostration of forgetfulness). But afterwards I learned the right way to do sujood as-sahw. So I repeated my prayer, however I did so about 16 minutes.. More
