He followed his imam in Taraweeh to pray ‘Isha’, then he followed him again for the last two rak’ahs

I missed ‘Isha’ prayer and the imam began to pray Taraweeh. I joined the prayer with the imam with the intention of praying ‘Isha’. The imam prayed two rak’ahs then he said the salaam, and I remained sitting but did not say the salaam. When he stood up to pray again I stood up with him and completed my ‘Isha’ prayer with him. Is the way I offered this prayer correct? If it was not correct, what should I do?.
Praise be to Allaah.
The scholars differed concerning the ruling on offering an obligatory prayer behind an imam who is offering a naafil prayer. We have quoted some of the scholarly opinions on this matter inthe answer to question number 79136 .
Imam al-Shafaa’i and Ibn al-Mundhir are of the view that this is permissible, and this is also narrated from Ahmad. The scholars of the Standing Committee and Shaykh Ibn Baaz also favoured this view, and inthe question mentioned above we quoted him as saying that it is permissible, namely praying ‘Isha’ behind one who is praying Taraweeh, and that the person praying behind him should complete his prayer on his own after the imam says the salaam.
As for what the questioner did, sitting after the imam said the salaam so that he could follow him in the next two rak’ahs of Taraweeh, there are two scholarly opinions concerning the one who starts his prayer on his own -- can he follow an imam who is leading a congregation? Some of them said that this is not allowed and some of them said that it is valid.
Shaykh al-‘Uthaymeen didnot give a definitive opinion concerning this action and he said, after stating that it is permissible for one who isoffering an obligatory prayer to pray behind onewho is offering a naafil prayer, which includes it being permissible to offer ‘Isha’ prayer behind one who is praying Taraweeh:
Rather what I am not sureabout is their waiting for the imam until he starts the next two rak’ahs and completing the prayer with him. This is what I am not sure about, because the Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whatever you catch up with, pray, and whatever you miss, complete it.” The apparent meaning is that a person should complete what he missed with his imam on his own, meaning that he should not wait until the imam starts another prayer. Rather we say: When the imam says the salaam at the end of the prayer in which you caught up with him, then complete the prayer and do not wait until he startsanother prayer. End quote.
Fataawa Noor ‘ala al-Darb(Tape no. 15, side B)
Al-Nawawi thought it more likely that this is permissible, as he said:
If he prays ‘Isha’ behind Taraweeh, that is permissible, and when theimam says the salaam, he should stand up to do the remaining two rak’ahs. It is better for him to complete them on his own. If the imam gets up to do two more rak’ahs ofTaraweeh, he should formthe intention to follow him again in his two rak’ahs. There are two opinions as to whether it is permissible for one whostarted the prayer on his own to then intend to follow the imam. The more correct view is that it is valid. End quote.
Al-Majmoo’ Sharh al-Muhadhdhab, 4/270
Based on this, the prayer was valid and you do not have to repeat it, but it is better -- in the future -- tocomplete your prayer on your own and not to join with the imam again.
The brother who asked this question does not have to repeat the prayer or to repeat the two rak’ahs. The ‘Isha’ prayer that he offered behind theimam who was praying Taraweeh is valid. But we think that it is better for him to complete what remains for him of his prayer on his own. But if he follows the last two rak’ahs with the imam again, that is permissible.
And Allah knows best.

If I make it to Ramadhan, Allah will see what good I’ll do!! By: Sheikh ‘Umar bin Abdullah alMuqbil (Hafedhullah)

A friend of mine took a seat in the place for 'Eid prayer, and he
began to talk to himself secretly, hewas going over the memories of an
entire month…an entire month passed, as if it was one day. As he sat,
he was going over these nights that have now left him, and the days
that were now gone. He tried to linkhimself with some of the people
that were around him, only to find the distance between them far…they
entered the "battlefield" in one day, actually one hour, but he
delayed and procrastinated, no, he actually slept, until they all
passed him. He tried tolook at them as closely as possible, but he was
unable. For indeed they passed him by a great distance, and won the
great big reward… My friend was searching through the "pages" of
hislife, through the actions that he did this past month, so that he
may find something to lift up his broken soul. He turnedto his record
of Qur'anic recitation, and could not find one completion of the Holy
Qur'an! And he would hear, not from the pious people of the past, but
from news of the pious people around him, even the youth, those that
finished reciting the Qur'an 5 times, even those that finished 6
times, actually those that finished the Qur'an 10 times!!
He tries to decrease his depression by turning to his record of
generosity and giving to those around him and those Muslims outside of
his country that are less fortunate, especially because he knows that
Allah has blessed Him with wealth. But he did not do as much as those
who were like him, from charity, prayer, and good deeds…a sigh…a short
silence…his charity and generosity were not proportionate to what
Allah gave him from wealth. The "beggar and the outcast" did not have
a share of his wealth in this month, except a smalltrivial amount.
Actually, there were those noble souls whom Allah Ta'ala saved from
stinginess, who had less money, but gave more…
He turned his face away from this "record" of his life, and he tried
to decrease his pain and sorrow by turning to another "record" hoping
to find himself ahead of others, even if in just one area. So he
turned to the "record" of the restrainingor fasting of his body parts.
Here his hands dropped, he remembered many nights where he allowed his
eyes, ears, and tongue to do dark things…
He remembered the gatherings when he and his friends would watch
television shows that would take a person off the road to Heaven in
thisblessed month, from supplication; to the doors of Hell is where
these outrageous shows would take a person. Movies and sitcoms that a
person with intellect would feel shame to watch--not to mention a
believer that is aware of his heart and actions-- in a month otherthan
Ramadhan. So how about the month of Mercyand Acceptance?!
And my friend remembered, while this pain and sorrow felt as if they
would split his insides, how much time he wasted watching theseworldly
sports and races, that made him too busy to worry about the races to
the hereafter. He remembered this and he was crying for this great
deception: How could he worry himself for these races which would have
one winner out of 500 or more, he would concentrate, time,
energy,money, and only 5,10,or even 100 people would win out of
millions of competitors! He remembered this and he would admonish
himself, how could he ignore the match for which the successful
outcome is guaranteed?! And which success is it? The prize for our
race is gardens, and the pleasure of the Merciful, and rivers, and
trees, and the "companions with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes,
like unto Pearls well-guarded", and the success rate for the person
who is sincere andfollows, is 100%!! But, he loved the world in which
he overstepped his bounds, and chased after!!
As he was sitting in his place in the place for 'Eid prayer, he looked
and sawsome of his friends sitting and relaxing just as they were
during those Ramadhan nights. He saw them in the best of moods, with
nice clothes, and their smiles that they would give out everywhere.
And when helooked elsewhere, he saw some of the righteous slaves of
Allah, sitting in the front rows, he could see the happiness on
theirfaces. It was as if one of them --had he not been scared to
reveal his good deeds-- would say with his tongue," "Come you all!"
Read this my record!"…they wore new clothes just like his friends, but
what a difference between this smile and that smile, and what a
difference between those new clothes and those new clothes. Here his
feelings began to change, and he started to ask himself questions. ...

Fatwa :-> Do their daughters havea share of the inheritance if they have no need of it?

3 Years before my father Expired, He left a house without saying to
whom that house belongs too. we are 3 brothers and 5 sisters. All 5
sisters are married and alhamduillahwellset, only 1 brother is
unmarried.
Now we are selling the house. Should we distribute(taqseem)the house
money in sisters also (as they all are married and well set). what are
the rules as per shariah ?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
What is required with regard to dividing the inheritance is to give
eachperson who is entitled to a share his due share. There is no
differentiationbetween rich and poor, male and female; each individual
should take theshare that Allah has allocated to him.
It was narrated that Abu Umaamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
I heard the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peaceof Allah be upon
him) say:"Allah has granted each one who is entitled to a share his
due share, and there is no bequest to an heir."
Narrated by Abu Dawood (2870); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in
Saheeh Abi Dawood
This is a confirmation of the words of Allah (interpretation of the meaning):
"Allah commands you as regards your children's (inheritance); to the
male, a portion equal to that of two females; if (there are)only
daughters, two or more, their share is two thirds of the inheritance;
if only one, her share is half"
[an-Nisa' 4:11].
Then Allah warns those who go against His division of the
inheritanceand tamper with it, as He says (interpretation of
themeaning):
"And whosoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW), and
transgresses His limits, He will cast him into the Fire, to abide
therein; and he shall have a disgraceful torment"
[an-Nisa' 4:14].
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him) said: It is not
permissible for anyone to deprive a woman of her inheritanceor to use
tricks to do so because Allah, may He be glorified, has allocated a
share of inheritance to herin His holy Book and in the Sunnah of His
Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him). And the Muslim
scholars are unanimously agreed on that. Allah, mayHe be exalted, says
(interpretation of the meaning):
"Allah commands you as regards your childrens (inheritance); to the
male, a portion equal to that of two females; if (there are)only
daughters, two or more, their share is two thirds of the inheritance;
if only one, her share is half. For parents, a sixth share of
inheritance to each if the deceased left children; if no children, and
the parents are the (only) heirs, the mother has a third; if the
deceased left brothers or (sisters), the mother has a sixth…"
[an-Nisa' 4:11].
What all Muslims must do is act in accordance with the laws of Allah
with regard to inheritance and other matters, and beware of that which
is contrary to that; they should denounce anyone who denies the laws
of Allah or uses tricks to go against them and deprive women of
inheritance or other acts that are contrary to sharee'ah.
These people who deprivewomen of inheritance or use tricks to do so,
in addition to going against sharee'ah and the consensus of the Muslim
scholars, are also following in the footsteps of the kuffaar by doing
ignorant deeds that deprive women of inheritance.
End quote from Majmoo' al-Fataawa, 20/221
If there is no other heir but you, then the estate be divided among
you, with each male getting the share of two females. So the estate
should be divided into eleven shares, because there are three males
whose sharesare equivalent to those of six females. Then each male
should take two shares and each female should take one share.
And Allah knows best.
