Making Up Missed Prayers, - Dought & clear, - * If he remembers a missed prayer during the current prayer or after finishing it

Share

My question is about the missed prayer. If I for example pray the Maghrib of today then remembered that my Fajr prayer of the last week was invalid, like if I passed wind during the prayer. If at that time I just doubted it but afterwards I felt it was sure that I passed wind, or that my wudu was incomplete, like if I remember that there was something was on my foot while I was making wudu for this salaah and I did not remove it! Is it permissible to repeat the missed prayer after I finish praying the Maghrib of today then I repeat the Maghrib again as Fajr normally comes before Maghrib? Or it is appropriate to just repeat the missed prayer without repeating the current one, as the missed Fajr was of another day?.
Praise be to Allaah.
If you have prayed the current prayer, then you remember a missed prayer from the same day or a previous day, you should pray it, but do not repeat the current prayer, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever forgets a prayer, let him offer it as soon as he remembers, for there is no expiation for it other than that.‘and perform As‑Salaah (Iqaamat‑as‑Salaah) for My remembrance’ [Ta-Ha 20:14].” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (597) and Muslim (684).
Al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: The words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), “Whoever forgets a prayer, let him offer it as soon as he remembers, for there is no expiation for it other than that” mean: nothing will make up for it except a prayer like it, and he does not have to do anything else. End quote.
Based on this, then in the case asked about here, you have to pray Fajr as soon as you remember it, and do not repeat Maghrib.
But if a person remembers a missed prayer during the current prayer, should he complete it or interrupt it? There is a difference of opinion among the fuqaha’. Abu Haneefah and Maalik were of the view that the current prayer becomes invalid, so he should offer the missed prayer first and then the current prayer. The Shaafa’is were of the view that he should complete the current prayer and then offer the missed the prayer, and it is mustahabb for him to repeat the current prayer. Ahmad was of the view that he should complete the current prayer, then make up the missed prayer, then repeat the current prayer as something obligatory.
And Allaah knows best.

Making Up Missed Prayers, - Dought & clear, - * It is mustahabb to pray in congregation when making up missed prayers

Share

Should missed prayers be made up individually or in congregation? We went out in the countryside one day and we did not wake up for Fajr prayer. After the sun had risen, we made up the prayer, praying individually, because the time for the prayer had ended. Is what we did correct?.
Praise be to Allaah.
It is prescribed to pray in congregation when making up missed prayers, because of the report narrated by al-Bukhaari (595), Muslim (681) and al-Nasaa’i (846) from Abu Qataadah who said: We were with the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) (on a journey) and some of the people said: Why don’t you let us stop to rest (at the end of the night) O Messenger of Allaah? He said: “I am afraid that you will sleep and miss the prayer.” Bilaal said: I will keep watch for you. So they lay down and went to sleep, and Bilaal leaned back against his mount. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) woke up and saw that the edge of the sun’s disk had risen. He said: O Bilaal, what about what you said? He said: I have never slept like that. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah took your souls when He willed and He returned them when He willed. Get up, O Bilaal, and call the people to prayer.” So Bilaal got up and called the people to prayer, and they did wudoo’, i.e., when the sun had gotten high, then he stood up and led them in prayer.
Ibn Qudaamah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said inal-Mughni(1/356): It is mustahabb to make up missed prayers in congregation. On the day of al-Khandaq, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) missed four prayers, and he made them up in congregation. And in the hadeeth of Abu Qataadah and elsewhere it says that when the Prophet made up for Fajr prayer on the day of al-Khandaq, he and his companions, he led them in offering the prayer in congregation. End quote.
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: From the hadeeth of Abu Qataadah it may also be understood that it is prescribed to offer made-up prayers in congregation if there is a group, because making up is to be done as one would have performed the prayer. If they would have offered the prayer in congregation if they had prayed on time, then when they make it up they should offer it in congregation. This is also mentioned in the Sunnah in the hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah, when the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told Bilaal to give the call to prayer, then he prayed two (Sunnah) rak’ahs of Fajr, then he led them in praying Fajr prayer in congregation. End quote fromal-Sharh al-Mumti’(2/140).
Based on this, it would have been better for you to give the call to prayer and offer the Sunnah prayers individually, then recited the iqaamah and offered the prayer in congregation, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did with his companions.
And Allaah knows best.

Womens Work, - Dought & clear, - * Guidelines on women working outside the home

Share

I am a 20-year-old girl studying engineering. I work during the summer in a stationary store; in order to pay my college fees, am I sinful? I wear niqab, and sometimes feel that no religious man proposes to me for this reason.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
The basic principle is that a woman should remain at home, and not go out except for necessary purposes. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And stay in your houses, and do not display yourselves like that of the times of ignorance”
[al-Ahzaab 33:33].
Although this is addressed to the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), it also applies to the believing women. It is only addressed to the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) because of their honour and status with the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and because they are examples for the believing women.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Woman is ‘awrah, and if she goes out, the shaytaan raises his hopes (of misguiding her). She is never closer to Allaah than when she stays in her house.” Narrated by Ibn Hibbaan and Ibn Khuzaymah; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani inal-Silsilah al-Shaheehah, no. 2688.
And he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said concerning a woman’s prayer in the mosque: “Their houses are better for them.” Narrated by Abu Dawood (567) and classed as saheeh by al-Albaani inSaheeh Abi Dawood.
For more information please see the answer to question no. 6742.
Secondly:
It is permissible for a woman to go out of her house for work, but that is subject to certain conditions. If they are met, it is permissible for her to go out. They are:
- That she needs to work in order to acquire the money she needs, as in your case.
- The work should be suited to the nature of woman, such as medicine, nursing, teaching, sewing, and so on.
- The work should be in a place that is only for women, and there should be no mixing with non-mahram men.
- Whilst at work she should observe complete shar’i hijab.
- Her work should not lead to her travelling without a mahram.
- Her going out to work should not involve committing any haraam action, such as being alone with the driver, or wearing perfume where non-mahrams can smell it.
- That should not lead to her neglecting things that are more essential for her, such as looking after her house, husband and children.
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen said: The field in which a woman works should be only for women, such as if she works in teaching girls, whether in administration or technical support, or she works at home as a seamstress sewing clothes for women and so on. As for working in fields that are for men, this is not permissible for her because it requires her to mix with men, which is a great fitnah (source of temptation and trouble) and should be avoided. It should be noted that it is proven that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “I have not left behind me any fitnah that is more harmful to men than women; the fitnah of the Children of Israel had to do with women.” So the man should keep his family away from places of fitnah and its causes in all circumstances. End quote.
Fataawa al-Mar’ah al-Muslimah(2/981)
If these conditions are met in your work, then there is nothing wrong with you doing it in sha Allaah.
We ask Allaah to grant you a righteous husband, for He is able to do that.
And Allaah knows best.
