Whilst praying the naafilah prayer the congregational prayer starts

*Please appropriately reference this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*

 

Question: Noble Shaykh, what is the overall opinion regarding what to do when one is performing the naafilah prayer and the (congregational) prayer starts?

 

Response: The overall opinion regarding the naafilah (prayer) is that if the (congregational) prayer starts while he is in the second (final) rak'ah, then he should briskly complete it, and if he is in the first rak'ah, then he should break his (naafilah) prayer (in order to join the (congregational prayer).

 

Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen

 

 

Performed the Maghrib prayer and realised he had not performed the 'Asr prayer

*Please appropriately reference this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*

 

Question: If one remembers that he has not performed the 'Asr (prayer) except after having performed the Maghrib (prayer), should he (then) perform the 'Asr (prayer) and (then) the Maghrib (prayer) or should he (suffice with) perform the 'Asr (prayer) only?

 

Response: He should only perform the 'Asr prayer, because he has performed the Maghrib (prayer) at its time, and likewise (it is considered) he has performed the 'Asr (prayer) at it's time since it's time is (considered as such) when one remembers (not having performed it).

 

Shaykh al-Albaanee

 

 

Ruling concerning doubt with respect to ablution

 

Question: What is the ruling concerning a person who doubts whether he nullified his ablution or not?

 

Response: If a person has doubt whether he nullified his ablution or not, then his original state of being pure remains and his doubt does not have any effect. This is based on the Prophet's statement, when a man asked him about feelings he has in his stomach during the prayer, "Do not leave [the prayer] until you hear a sound or you perceive a smell." The Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) made it clear to him that the basic ruling is that of purity until one is certain that something has occurred to nullify it. As long as the person is simply in doubt, his state of purity is sound and confirmed. Therefore, he may continue to pray, circumambulate the Ka'bah, read the Qur.aan from a mushaf and so forth. That is the original ruling. This is, all praises are due to Allaah, from the magnanimity and easiness of Islaam.
