Firstly, the things that invalidate ablution, or wudhu are:

1. Passing of excrement, urine or wind
2. Deep Sleep
3.Losing of one's senses by any means such as madness, fainting, drunkenness, or use of drugs etc,
4. Touching the sexual organs intentionally and with naked hands.

If one passes the wind during salat or anything mention above, he should break the salat and should do the wudhu over and re-do the Salat.

You should raise your hands, say Allah Akbar, look to the right and leave the Salat to refresh your Wudu.

If you are leading Salat in Jamat, you should do the same, exept pull the person directly behind you and put him in the position of imam, then leave.

edit: it means that someone has to continue leading the salat, so you must pull someone from the first row, preferably the person right behind you and move him to the position to lead the salat so it can be completed by him for the rest of the jamat.

f you have a flatulence problem that you know you cannot complete any prayer without blowing, then that is considered an illness for the day, and Allah would excuse you, Someone who is ill and cannot for some reason make prayers is excused, Same if you had (excuse me folks) diaheria, you certainly wouldnt want to risk bending over and having an accident, so you are excused, Just after your stomach settles if its for the day or whatnot, then resume your prayers at such time you feel your bout is over,


Q. A person feels very uncomfortable during prayers because he gets recurrent thoughts that he might have discharged wind and invalidated his ablution, or wudhu. This happens very frequently, almost in every prayer. And it is all without sound or smell. This person often wonders whether he actually discharged wind or it was merely a bowel movement. Please advise.

ANSWER

A. An important rule in Islamic worship is that a certainty cannot be removed or contradicted by a doubt. Therefore, we should always rely on what we know to be certain. Thus, if prayer is due and one is unsure whether he needs to have ablution or not, there are one of two cases. The first is that he had already done his ablution, or wudhu, but is unsure as to whether he might have invalidated it. The certainty here is that an ablution has been done. The doubt is about its invalidation. Therefore, he is considered to still have a valid ablution. The second situation is that he is not sure whether he did the ablution in the first place. In this case, he is deemed not to have done it and a new ablution is required. Thus, in the case of doubt, we always act on the basis of what is certain.

If we have a person who is certain to have had ablution, but then he experiences a feeling that he might have invalidated it by a wind discharge. He is unsure. We say that a certainty cannot be removed except by a counter certainty. A wind discharge is ascertained by sound or smell. If neither is present, then no wind discharge has taken place. It is a mere sensation that might have no substance.

Scholars in all generations warn against giving in to such thoughts because they can become an obsession. In this case, the reader describes this person as permanently uncomfortable in prayer. The best thing for him to do is to ignore the prompting to have a fresh ablution and repeat his prayer. When he does this for a few days, he will find that the whole thought is removed, God willing.

Thanks everyone.

My little girl runs head on into me during prayers and I let out an audible "ouch" (Yes it hurt), Does this nullify the salat? Do I need to start over? Thank you.

In addition to their response, here is addendum:


carrying and holding a child during the salah

Abu Qatadah reports that the prophet (saw) was offering salah and Umamah bint Zainab was on his neck (shoulder). When he performed ruku, he put her down and when he got up from his sadjah, he would place her back on his neck. 'Amr inquired during which salah this happened, Ibn Juraij said it is related from Zaid Ibn Abu 'Adab from 'Amr ibn Salim that this happened in the morning prayer.

Abdullah ibn Shidad relates that his father said 'the messenger of Allah (saw) came to us either during the noon or afternoon prayers and he was carrying Hassan or Husain. The prophet (saw) proceeded to the front and put him down and made the takbir for the salah. During the salah, he made a long Sajdah. I raised my head and saw the child on the back of the messenger of Allah (saw) while he was in sadjah. I returned to my sadjah. When the messenger of Allah finished the salah, the people said to him, 'o messenger of Allah, you prostrated during your salah so long that we suspected you were thinking about some matter or you were receiving some revelation.He said, 'none of this happened but my son was resting and I hated to rush him until he had finished what he desired. This is related by Ahmed, an-Nasai' and Al-Hakim.

@Codebase

Having disregarded my two posts, here are questiosn for you since you claimed that money is not allowed despite the fact reasons were given:

1. Do you call the the Hanafis that permitted the payment of Zakat-ul-Fitr in money a liar?


2. Do you call Al-Thawri, Al-Hasan al-Basri, and `Umar ibn `Abd al-`Aziz liar or going against Allah's messenger?

3. Do you think Sheikh Shaltut went against prophet and should be termed 'a liar"

4. Do you call al-Ghazali a liar for supporting payment of Zakat in money?

5. Do you call al-Qaradawi who mentioned earlier the two reasons for which the Prophet did not prescribe it in money a liar as well?

This is another link


Zakat al-fitr can be paid in cash if cash is better from the point of view of the recipient poor.

In his response to your question, the eminent Muslim scholar Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi states the following:

In my opinion, the mufti whom the questioner heard severely attack paying zakat al-fitr in cash is in the wrong if the questioner understood the fatwa of that mufti. I believe that the questioner did, as I have heard of those muftis and preachers who annually attack paying zakat al-fitr in cash.

The mufti was in the wrong for four reasons:

First, it is not permissible to deny or attack the opinion of any party in the matters that pertain to ijtihad (personal reasoning) over which the scholars disagree and which have many different opinions. According toShari`ah, the mujtahid (one who is qualified for making ijtihad) is not requested to apply anything but the opinion he concludes. If he is in the right, he will be rewarded twice—for his ijtihad and for his reaching the right in a certain matter; if he is in the wrong, he will be rewarded once—for exerting himself in ijtihad.

Second, if we dealt with this matter according to the above-mentioned basis, we will see that Imam Abu Hanifah and his companions, Al-Hasan Al-Basri, Sufyan Ath-Thawri, Caliph `Umar ibn `Abd Al-`Aziz, and many other scholars permitted paying the value of zakah, including zakat al-fitr, in money.

Third, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked Muslims to give zakat al-fitr from the common foodstuffs, he wanted to make matters easy for them; silver and golden money were rare means of dealing among the Arabs and the majority of people did not own but a few coins.

Fourth, our scholars agreed that the fatwa changes according to time, place, and status. The one who impartially examines the current status will realize that giving food as zakat al-fitr is only suitable for simple societies in which the poor need food [grain] and the payer finds it easily. In the large and complex societies that have a high population density and where food [grain] is rare and the poor do not need it, as they no longer grind, knead, and bakes, the impartial will agree that paying the value of zakat al-fitr in money is more suitable.

@Zayhal

I never knew mudu can be found here so easily. Please can You name a particular market in :Lagos where I can get?

Do you know that there is equivalent of Mudu which measures correctly and if you cannot see that, you could use handful of an average man?


a`saa is a certain measure which equals 4 mudds (a mudd equals a handful of an average man). The contemporary equivalent weights of Sa` differs according to the stuff which is weighted. For example a Sa` of wheat equals 2176 grams, a Sa` of rice is 2520 grams, a Sa` of beans equals 2250 grams etc.

Therefore some scholars are of the view that the criterion should be the measure not the weight for there are kinds of food which are heavier than others.

Secondly, on zakatulfitr, the condition u mentioned about beggars not having a p;lace to cook, were there no beggars with such condition at the time of the Prophet (saw) too and yet only foodstuff were given? And what about garri, they can take this without cooking, abi?

Good.

What kind of food is permitted?

The jurists hold different views as to the types of food which must be given as Zakat-ul-Fitr. The Hanbali view is that the kinds of food which can be given are five: dates, raisins, wheat, barley, and dry cottage cheese. Imam Ahmad is reported to have said that any kind of staple grain or dates are also permissible, even if the above five types are available. T[b]he Malikis and Shafi`is are of the view that it is permissible to give any kind of food as long as it is the main staple in that particular region or the main food of the person[/b]. As for the Hanafis, they permit paying the value of Zakat-ul-Fitr in money.


I am very much aware of the Hadith Codebase quoted but here is the reason why money was not used during prophet's time:


Al-Qaradawi explains why the Prophet appointed Sa` as the measure and did not prescribe it in money saying that in his opinion there are two reasons for this:

First, money was still rare among the Arabs particularly the Bedouins. They did not have their own currency. So if the Prophet had prescribed it in money, he would have caused hardship to them.


Second, the purchasing power of money changes from time to time. For instance, the purchasing power of a certain currency sometimes becomes low and other times high, so paying Zakat-ul-Fitr in money makes its value unstable. That is why the Prophet prescribed it with a stable measure, that is an amount of food which fulfils the needs of one family. For one Sa` provides a family with food for a whole day.



s it is mentioned earlier, the Hanafis permitted the payment of Zakat-ul-Fitr in money. This is the view of Al-Thawri, Al-Hasan al-Basri, and `Umar ibn `Abd al-`Aziz. However, the other three schools did not permit this. Their argument is that the Prophet did not do so and hence its payment in money contradicts the Sunnah of the Prophet. But some contemporary scholars support the Hanafi view since this is easier nowadays for the payer particularly in cities where people use only money for dealings. Among them are Sheikh Shaltut, al-Ghazali, and al-Qaradawi who mentioned earlier the two reasons for which the Prophet did not prescribe it in money. He also stated that the purpose of Zakat-ul-Fitr is to fulfil the needs of the poor and this is achieved also by payment in money and that in most cases and most countries the payment in money is more useful to the poor.

He also mentioned that when the Prophet prescribed it from food, it was easy for the payer and useful for the recipient during that time. But nowadays to pay it in food is not useful for the poor because he cannot make use, for instance, of wheat or dates unless he sells them with any price, generally low, to buy his needs with the money.

Al-Qaradawi excluded the times of famines where the payment of food is more useful for the recipients and said that the criterion is the benefit of the poor so if food proves to be more useful as in times of famines and catastrophes, then its payment in kind is better. But if money is more useful, then its payment in money is better.

@Codebase

Zakaat ul Fitr, has to be given in the form the local staple food material and not in money. There was money during the time of the prophet and they didnot deem it fit to give it to people in form of money so why do we have to start that now.

Zakaat al-Fitr is food, not money, and it is to be given to needy Muslims only
What do you give for zakatul fitr? Is it money or grain? and what about if you don`t know any body to be given? Is it permissable to give it to the masjid or a kaafir homeless, or kaair in general?


Praise be to Allaah.

Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with them both) said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) made giving a saa’ of dates or a saa’ of barley as Zakaat al-Fitr an obligation for all Muslims, slave and free, male and female, young and old, and ordered that it should be given before the people went out to pray (Salaat al-Eid).” (Al-Bukhaari, 1503).

Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “We used to pay as Zakaat al-Fitr a saa’ of food or a saa’ of barley (which was their food at that time) or a saa’ or dates or a saa’ of aqit (dried yoghurt) or a saa’ of raisins.” (1506)

From this it is clear that Zakaat al-Fitr must be food, not money, so we must adhere to what has been recorded in the Sunnah. So give one saa’ of whatever is the staple food in your country, such as rice or wheat, for example, on behalf of yourself and each member of your household. (A saa’ is equivalent to approximately 3 kilograms). It is not permissible to give it to anyone except a needy Muslim. If you cannot find anyone in your own country, you can delegate someone else to give it on your behalf in another country. May Allaah help us and you to do the duties that He loves. And Allaah knows best.

- IT IS FORBIDDEN TO SPEAK IN THE TOILET, EXCEPT WITH SHARI'AH PERMIT.

"A man said salaam to the Prophet (saw) while he was in the toilet, he did not answer the salaam."An-Nasaa'i 37, Ibn Majah 353

Imam Nawawi said.
- It is allowed only for the necessity of the toilet, (eg. To ask for stones, or water.)
- Or to warn people in an emergency etc.


DO NOT ENTER THE BATHROOM WITH SOMETHING THAT HAS ALLAH WRITTEN ON IT.

In the case of things like money (e.g. in Saudi Arabia) it is permissible as long as it is put away as much as possible. (English is allowed)

Prohibited to go in to the Toilet with the Qur'an Nor make any zhikr or talk in the toilet.


THE DU'A FOR GOING TO THE TOILET

Zaid bin Arqam
The Prophet (saw) said: "This place is where the shayateen gather." Musnad Imam Ahmad 18800,Ibn Majah 296

This is why; the Sunnah is not to spend a lot of time in the toilet.

You enter the toilet by the left, and leave by the right. (Foot)

Imam 'Ali: "The Prophet (saw) said: "the cover of the awrah when he wants to enter the house of the shaytan (toilet), is to say bismillah, then to say A'udhubillah min al-kubthi wal- khaba'ith""[/b]Bukhari 142, Ibn Majah 297, Tirmizi 606

Anas reported: "When the Prophet entered the Toilet he said allahuma inni a'udhubika min al kubuthi wal khaba'ith" Bukhari 142, Muslim 375, Musnad Imam Ahmad 11536

[b]YOU MUST COVER UP AS MUCH AS YOU CAN WHEN YOU ARE IN THE TOILET.

It is recommended to cover yourself as much as you can when you are fulfilling your need.

Al Mughirah ibn Shu'ba: "I was travelling with the Prophet (saw), he asked me to take the lead, so I took it, after that he went to urinate, he went in such a way that no one could see him, and was wearing a shaami jubba, and showed only enough to fulfil his need."Bukhari 363, Muslim 274, Musnad Imam Ahmad 17668, Abu Dawood 151

It is a Prophetic etiquette, to cover yourself as much as possible.

"He left us to urinate in a place so dark and far away until we could not see him anymore." Muslim , Ahmad

"The Prophet (saw) was so far away that we could not recognise him"

When you leave the toilet say "Ghufranak"

A'isha said: "Whenever the Prophet (saw) left the toilet he said " Ghufranak"."Musnad Imam Ahmad 24694, Abu Dawood 30

Where can one get this mudu (am not sure of the spelling), I mean the container that is used to measure d foodstuff to be given out for the sadaqatulfitr or what can one use as its equivalence if the mudu is unavailable.

I think they sell this Mudu at the market. Its being produced by some of these Chinese companies , WAHUM, NEWCO etc. You would surely get it anytime and anyday you feel like. It has the same measure and one can use hands for measurement too.

Secondly, some people/groups agree that money can be given in place of foodstuff, for the sadaqatulfitr, is this acceptable in the Shariah considering the fact that there was money during the lifetime of the Prophet (saw) and yet, only food grains were used.
Please let's look into these together.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar used to say:
“Zakat does not have to be paid on property until a year has elapsed over it.”{Book 17, Number 17.2.6 : Malik’s Muttawa}


Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:
If anyone gives as Sadaqa the equivalent of a date from that (earning) earned honestly, for Allah accepts that which is lawful, the Lord would accept it with His Right Hand, and even if it is a date, it would foster in the Hand of the lord, as one of you fosters his colt, till it becomes bigger than a mountain.
{Book 005, Chapter 18, Number 2211 : Sahih Muslim}


WHEN TO PAY

Ibn ‘Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) ordered that the Sadaqat-ul-Fitr should be paid before the people go out for prayer.{Book 005, Chapter 5, Number 2159 : Sahih Muslim}

ITS BINDING ON EVERY MUSLIM

Ibn Umar said:
That Allah’s Messenger (way peace be upon him) prescribed the payment of Zakat-ul-Fitr (on breaking the fast) of Ramadan for people, for every freeman, or slave, male and female among the Muslims-one sa’ of dried dates, or one sa’ of barley.
{Book 005, Chapter 4, Number 2149 : Sahih Muslim}

ON THE PERMISSIBILITY OF MONEY BEING USED IN PLACE OF FOODSTUFF.

before I post anything, what do we have to say to beggars that do not have means of cooking foodstuff given to them?

Money can be given in place of foodstuff as "Money equivalent to zakatul-fitr differs from one country to another because it depends on the value of the main food stuff in one's area"

Ramadhan Kareem and Happy Laelatul Quadri in advance

Lailatul Qadr : The Night of Power

Qadr means honour and dignity. Lailatul Qadr means the night of honour and dignity. It is this night in which the first Divine Revelation came to the Prophet sallalahu alayhi wasallam, when he was in prayer in the cave of Hira. Since this night enjoys the honour of having the first revelation brought to the Prophet sallalahu alayhi wasallam, it has been named Lailatul Qadr.

This is one of the holiest and most blessed nights, which is likely to occur on one of the odd nights on the last ten days of Ramadhan and most likely to be the 27th. The reward of worship on this night is better than the worship of a thousand months of worship, equivalent to a person's lifetime. So, on this night one should pray nafil namaz, recite the Quran, do Tasbih, Zikr, Duas, etc as much as possible.

This night had already opened its gates of treasures when the angel for the first time had come with the Divine Message in the cave of Hira, but its auspiciousness has continued to be with us permanently. Every year in the month of Ramadhan, this night is given to the Ummah. Muslims engage in prayers, recitation of Quran and praying to Allah, as the Prophet sallalahu alayhi wasallam said: "The person who offered prayers to Allah in the night of Dignity with faith and with hope of reward from Allah, all his past sins have been forgiven." (Bukhaari)

As the rainy season is suitable for farming, similarly for the attainment of nearness to Allah, specific times , specific days and specific nights are most suitable, e.g. the time of Tahajjud prayers, Friday prayers, month of Ramadhan, the Day of Arafah, etc. So also the Night of Power is the most suitable night for attaining nearness to Allah.

In the Hadeeth, we have been asked to seek it in the last ten nights of the month of Ramadhan. Hazrat Aa'ishah radhiyallahu anhaa narrates that the Messenger of Allah sallalahu alayhi wasallam has said, 'Seek the night of Dignity in the odd nights of the last ten days of Ramadhan'.(Bukhaari).

By odd nights, the reference is made to the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, 29th night of the month of Ramadhan. No one night has been fixed so that the yearning to find it may increase and people may spend more nights in worshipping Allah. From this aspect, the importance of `Itikaaf (seclusion) during the last ten days of Ramadhan is clear.

Some special prayers and Zikr for Laitul Qadr:

1. Seeking Forgiveness. Hazrat Aa'ishah radhiyallahu anhaa asked the Prophet sallalahu alayhi wasallam that if she happened to get the night sublime what prayer should she say. The Prophet sallalahu alayhi wasallam replied that she should say the following prayer :
"Allahumma innaka afuwwun kareemun tuhib-bul af-wa fa-afo anni"
(O Allah, You are the One who grants pardon for sins, loves forgiving, so forgive me.)


2. Reciting Astaghfar. The following should be recited as much as possible:
"Astaghfirullah hallazi la-ila-ha illa huwal Hayyul Qayyumo wa atu-bu ilaihe"
(I seek forgiveness from Allah, the Almighty, there is no God but He. He is self-Existent, the Eternal and I return to Him)

3. Reciting Surah `Inna anzalnahu, '

"Inna anzalnahu fee lailatul Qadr, Wa maa adraka maa lailatul Qadr.
Lailatul Qadri khairum min alfi shahr. Tanazzalul malai-katu var-roohu
fee ha bi izni Rabbihim min kulle amr. Salaamun heya hatta matla-il fajr."

4. Do Salatul Tasbih.

5. Do Afzul Zikr i.e. La ilaha illallah

73 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny ? -

74 Whom neither man nor jinni will have touched before them -

75 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny ?

76 Reclining on green cushions and fair carpets.

77 Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny ?

78 Blessed be the name of thy Lord, Mighty and glorious!
