you know I asked about the nafl..

I heard that you have to make it, so say I intended to make 2 nafl after dhuhr, but I fell asleep, woke up it was Asr, I have to make them two before praying Asr..

Who say you must make qadhaa of nafl?

Quote:

and .. if you pray tahajjud right, then you pray witr after, do you pray 3 or 1?

Because of the hadith... goes like "the night prayer is two by two and when one fears the approaching of dawn, let him pray one rakaah and that will be his witr"

Witr is made before tahajjud, and witr is 3 rakaats.

Quote:

and if you hear a person sneeze but no alhamdulillah, do you have to reply? I reply anyway... even though I don't hear a alhamdulillah, but is that wrong? I fear because we've been ordered to do it.. =o so I just say it anyway..

Allaahu A'lam.

Quote:

I have a questions regarding 'joining prayers'

1) When can it be done?
2) There are apparently instances where you can do it just because... like say you're running late, you make the intention and it'll be okay, is that correct?
3) Correct method of how to perform the salaah...

According to the hanafi madhab you cannot join between prayers, except one time when you're on 'arafaah i think, apart from that you cannot join between two salaats.

Quote:

and is there really a hadith what says smiling at your parents/father is equivalent to the reward of Hajj?

Please could you provide evidence because been wondering for a while, read it a couple of times on ummah... no reference.. so is it actually authentic?

i too have read it, but i have not seen a reference yet either.

Quote:

and do you know whether this means I can't sleep with a little light on? I tried to switch it off one time after reading that but the reflections in the mirror freaked me out. =/ still if it means I have to then insha Allah I'll get some courage... =o

I cannot answer that, but i have not heard any 'ulamaa saying you can't sleep with a light on.

Quote:

does it mean a flame?

Yep, they only had flames back then.

Quote:

oh yes. When behind an imam and it's one of the silent prayers, what do you do? =o Like if you're at the back even because you can't hear him recite fatiha so you read it, but then a surah after that... what if you start praying something long and his is short?

You do not read behind an imaam, his qiraa'ah is your qiraa'ah, hearing him or not is not a requirement.

Quote:

also I know it's completely off topic...

Nothing's off topic here, btw i found the answer to a question you asked before, you asked whether a person should recite the tasbeeh of rukoo' and sujood more than three times, the answer is yes, the more times you read it the better, Rasoolullaah sallallaahu 'Alayhi Wa Sallam said in a hadeeth that 3 times is the minimum, so naturally it means reading more is better.

and also when you read behind an imaam then you continue the tasbeeh until he gets up, you don't just say it 3 times and then wait silent until he gets up.

Quote:

is it sunnah to like/eat vinegar? OR was it a food preference of his ? Do we have to like vinegar too? I don't even know if it's authentic but I heard it before too, like vinegar is sunnah to eat .. is it?

If Rasoolullaah Sallallaahu 'Alayhi Wa sallam ate it then it becomes sunnah, i think it's mentioned in shamaail at tirmidhi that vinegar is sunnah.

so we have to like vinegar too? Like if we don't like it, is it wrong?

I'm confused...

Because you can't dislike the sunnah, right?

Anyway JazakAllahu khair

for answering my questions.

ohh, I had questions.

You know you said you can make more tasbeeh, well, can you make any number after 3 or does it have to be odd? And does it always have to be the same amount in the salaah in each rakaah ?

You can make any number, and it does not have to be the same amount in each rakaa'ah.

When making behind an imaam you should make tasbeeh until the imaam goes to the next posture and not just say 3 times and keep quiet.

I must thank you for asking all your questions Nisaa, it's helped me learn a lot, JazakAllahu khair

I know the imaam doesn't have to wait for you to begin but what if you have just finished with doing salaam, and the imaam has started again and you're late as he's already in surah fatiha, do you do sajda sahw at the end or no?

Subject: Re: Nisaa's plentiful questions thread Sun Sep 06, 2009 12:36 am

i dont get this question embarassed

i dont think there is any sajdah sahw for jamaat salaah, and you dont need to make up a rakaah unless its one or more that youve missed (which you would do straight after salaam)

i thought you meant like theyve just prayed some rakaahs and you did salaam late and in this time the imaam got up and started again scratch

but you mean that the imaam is doing salaam and you got there just in time for that? scratch

Only if it's the time of maghrib, because 'asr goes right into maghrib.

No you dont, as long as you catch the imaam before he stands up from Rukoo' then you have caught the rak'ah and you do not need to make sajdah sahw or anything.

If you have missed a rak'ah then you follow the imaam from the rak'ah which you caught until he makes salaam, when he makes salaam then you stand up (without making salaam) and fill in that rak'ah that you missed, then you make salaam.

It says how if you just have a normal bath, and no intention for wudu your wudu is done for the parts which are fard to wash in wudu have been washed

I didn't understand that and forgot to ask, the hadith all actions are according to intentions was used for the niyyah in salaah, saying it's from the heart not mouth so it doesn't have to be uttered. If there's no intention for wudu how can wudu be done having a normal shower/bath?

Subject: Re: Nisaa's plentiful questions thread Sun Nov 15, 2009 1:41 pm

Because the niyyah is not a condition for wudhu, therefore if you bath you will automatically have wudhu.

I thought you needed an intention to do wudu, like to carry out an act of ibaadah.. ?

I don't understand.. I'm not saying verbally, when you go make wudu automatically you do it for wanting to do an act of worship that requires wudu

then again, people like to always be in a state of wudu, so they make wudu if they break it.. and they might not do any worship whilst in the state of wudu...

What's the benefits of being in the state of wudu at all times?

Not according to the hanafi madhab, some things require a niyyah and some things don't, wudhu is one of those that don't require a niyyah.

Quote:

Well i don't know if it's from ahaadeeth or what, but i read an article saying that being in a state of wudhu protects you from the evils of shaytaan, and you'll also die with eemaan and so on.
