[Ramadhan]

so if you are bleeding - you cant do wudo or read salah? - what if you are bleeding throughout the whole salah time?? how much flowing of blood are we talking about here??? what if you do wudo - then you start bleeding again??

bleeding during shalah , if it is not menstrual, does not invalidate shalah.
From Islamqa:

When he does wudoo’ and rinses his nose, blood comes out of his nose. Should he repeat his wudoo’?

I suffer from a problem in my nose. When I do wudoo’ and I want to rinse my nose, when I rinse my nose blood comes out of it. Do I have to repeat my wudoo’ even though that may cause hardship for me?.

Praise be to Allaah. Bleeding from the nose does not invalidate wudoo’, according to the more correct of the two scholarly opinions.
This is the view of Maalik and al-Shaafa’i (may Allaah have mercy on them) and it was narrated from a number of the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).
The Hanafis and Hanbalis are of the view that it does invalidate wudoo’, and they discussed that at length. The Hanbalis stipulate that the blood that comes out should be a large amount, and what is regarded as a lot or a little depends on each person’s estimation.
Al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Our view is that wudoo’ is not invalidated if something comes out of something other than the front and back passages, such as blood from cupping, vomit and blood from a nosebleed, whether it is a little or a lot. This was the view of Ibn ‘Umar, Ibn ‘Abbaas, Ibn Abi Awfa, Jaabir, Abu Hurayrah, ‘Aa’ishah, Ibn al-Musayyab, Saalim ibn ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar, al-Qaasim ibn Muhammad, Tawoos, ‘Ata’, Mak-hool, Rabee’ah, Maalik, Abu Thawr and Dawood.
Al-Baghawi said: It is the view of most of the Sahaabah and Taabi’een.
Some said that wudoo’ must be done in all these cases. This is the view of Abu Haneefah, al-Thawri, al-Awzaa’i, Ahmad and Ishaaq. But they differed as to whether a distinction should be made between a small amount and a large amount. End quote from al-Majmoo’ (2/62).
Those who say that wudoo’ is invalidated in such cases quoted da’eef (weak) ahaadeeth as evidence, as al-Nawawi and others said. See question no. 45666.
The evidence for the correct view, which is that wudoo’ is not invalidated, is as follows:
1- The basic principle is that it does not break wudoo’. Those who claim otherwise must produce evidence.
2- The fact that the person remains pure is proven by shar’i evidence, and what is proven by shar’i evidence cannot be overruled except with further shar’i evidence. See al-Sharh al-Mumti’ by Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (1/166).
3- Abu Dawood (198) narrated that Jaabir (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: We went out with the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) on the campaign of Dhaat al-Riqaa’. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Who will guard us?” A man from among the Muhaajireen and a man from among the Ansaar volunteered. He said: Stand at the mouth of the mountain pass. When the two men went out to the mouth of the mountain pass, the Muhaajir lay down and the Ansaari stood and prayed. A mushrik man came and shot him with an arrow and struck him, and he pulled it out, until he had shot him with three arrows. Then he bowed and prostrated, then his companion woke up. When the Muhaajir saw the blood on him, he said: Subhaan Allaah, why didn’t you wake me the first time he shot you? He said: I was in the middle of reciting a soorah and I did not want to interrupt it. This hadeeth was classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.
This clearly indicates that blood does not invalidate wudoo’ even if there is a lot, because if it invalidated wudoo’ he would have stopped praying.
Al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in al-Majmoo’: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) knew that and did not rebuke him.
Imam al-Bukhaari (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in his Saheeh: The Muslims continued to pray despite their wounds.
Tawoos, Muhammad ibn ‘Ali, ‘Ata’ and the people of the Hijaaz said: Blood does not affect wudoo’.
Ibn ‘Umar squeezed a pimple and blood came out of it, and he did not do wudoo’.
Ibn Abi Awfa spat blood and continued with his prayer.
Ibn ‘Umar and al-Hasan said concerning one who is treated with cupping: All he has to do is wash the site of cupping. End quote.
Al-Haafiz said in al-Fath (1/281): It is narrated in a saheeh report that ‘Umar prayed when his wound was streaming with blood.
All this indicates that bleeding from anywhere other than the front and back passage does not invalidate wudoo’.
And Allaah knows best.


Islam Q&A

2 - i feel like i keep sighing during salah - then i repeat my salah again - what kind of sighing breaks salah??

Do you mean yawning?
Yawning is makrooh and you should resist yawning as much as you can, but if you are unable to do so, you need to cover your mouth with your hand. I haven't heard that yawning invalidate shalah.

From Islamqa:

He has the problem of yawning a great deal whilst praying – what should he do?

I have the problem of yawning a great deal whilst praying, even though I do not yawn outside of prayer. Please advise me, may Allaah bless you.

Praise be to Allaah. Allaah has praised His believing slaves, and He says that one of their greatest characteristics is that they “offer their salaah (prayers) with all solemnity and full submissiveness” [al-Mu’minoon 23:2]. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) stated that the Shaytaan strives to distract the worshipper from his prayer, and Allaah is testing the believers with that. One of the ways in which the Shaytaan distracts the worshipper is by distracting his thoughts and whispering to him when he is praying. Another method is to make him yawn so much that this distracts him from his prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) stated that yawning comes from the Shaytaan, and he told us to suppress yawning as much as we can, but if yawning overtakes us, then he told us to put our hands over our mouths. There follow the texts of the ahaadeeth and commentary thereon:
(1)
It was narrated that Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If one of you yawns – according to another report: whilst praying – let him suppress it as much as he can, for the Shaytaan comes in.” Narrated by Muslim
(2)
It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Yawning comes from the Shaytaan, so if one of you feels the urge to yawn, let him suppress it as much as he can, for if one of you says ‘ha’ (the sound made when yawning), the Shaytaan laughs.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3115; Muslim, 2994.
Al-Haafiz ibn Hajar (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
Ibn Battaal said: Yawning is attributed to the Shaytaan in the sense that he approves of it and wants it to happen, i.e., the Shaytaan likes to see a man yawning, because it is a state in which his appearance changes so he laughs at him. It does not mean that the Shaytaan causes yawning.
Ibn al-‘Arabi said: We have explained that every makrooh action is attributed to the Shaytaan in Islam because he is the means behind it, and every good action is attributed to the angel in Islam because he is the means behind it. Yawning is caused by a full stomach and leads to laziness, and that is by the means of the Shaytaan, whereas sneezing is caused by lack of food, and leads to energy, and that is by the means of the angel.
Al-Nawawi said: Yawning is attributed to the Shaytaan because it calls to desires, as it is caused by heaviness of the body and lassitude and fullness. What is means is: beware of the causes that lead to that, which is eating too much.
The phrase “if one of you feels the urge to yawn, let him suppress it as much as he can” means: let him try to stop it. It does not mean that he will be able to stop it, because what happens cannot be reversed, and it was said that what is meant by “if he feels the urge to yawn” is if he wants to yawn…
Our Shaykh – i.e., al-Haafiz al-Iraaqi – said in Sharh al-Tirmidhi: Most of the reports in al-Saheehayn refer to yawning in general terms, but in another report it is limited to yawning when praying. So it may be that the general wording is to be understood in terms of the specific. The Shaytaan is very keen to distract the worshipper when he is praying, and it may be that yawning is more makrooh in the case of prayer, but that does not necessarily mean that it is not makrooh in cases other than prayer.
The fact that it is makrooh in general terms is supported by the fact that it comes from the Shaytaan, as was clearly stated by al-Nawawi. Ibn al-‘Arabi said: Yawning should be suppressed in all situations, but especially in prayer because it is the situation in which it is most appropriate that it be warded off, because it distorts one’s appearance.
With regard to the phrase in the report by Muslim, “the Shaytaan enters” it may be that what is meant is entering in a real sense, because although the Shaytaan flows through man like his blood, he cannot gain any control over him so long as he remembers Allaah, but when a person is yawning he is not remembering Allaah, so the Shaytaan is able to enter him in a real sense.
Or it may be that what is meant by entering is gaining control over him, because the one who enters a thing is able to gain control of it.
As for the command to place the hand over the mouth, this is the case if he opens his mouth, so he should cover it with his hand, or if he yawns whilst his mouth is closed, he should still put his hand over it, lest it opens.
With regard to the meaning of placing the hand over the mouth or covering the mouth with one's garment, which serves the same purpose, the hand is mentioned in particular if yawning cannot be warded off otherwise. No differentiation is made in this regard between one who is praying and one who is not, rather it is more important in the case of prayer as stated above, and in this case an exception is made to the prohibition of placing the hand over the mouth when praying.
Another thing that is enjoined upon the person who yawns whilst praying is to stop reciting until the yawning has ended, lest he distort the recitation. End quote.
Fath al-Baari, 10/612
Al-Nawawi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

Whether a person yawns during prayer or otherwise, it is mustahabb to place the hand over the mouth, and it is makrooh for a person to place his hand over his mouth when praying, unless there is a need to do so, such as yawning etc. end quote.

Al-Adhkaar, p. 346
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
Yawning comes from the Shaytaan, as is narrated in saheeh reports from the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). So if a person yawns, whether during prayer or otherwise, he should suppress his yawning if he can, and if he cannot, then he should place his hand over his mouth, whether he is praying or not.
Fataawa Noor ‘ala al-Darb If a person wants to stop yawning during prayer, he should start to pray when he is energetic and active, and he should remember that the Shaytaan is an enemy to him and regard him as such, and he should try to resist him as much as he can, and if he overpowers him then let him put his hand over his mouth.
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked:
I am a young religiously-committed man, twenty-two years old. I suffer from a problem which I hope you will help me to get rid of. When I start to pray, I start yawning unintentionally. This problem is with me even when I recite Aayat al-Kursiy in particular. I do not know of any reason for that. I yawn ten times in one prayer. I hope that you can advise me.
He replied:
Yawning comes from the Shaytaan as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told us. Just as the Shaytaan tries to gain power over the one who is praying by whispering into his heart and throwing ideas into his mind, so too he may try to gain power over a person by means of yawning, so he yawns a great deal and that distracts him from his prayer. If anyone experiences that, let him do what was enjoined by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), such as suppressing it as much as he can, and if he cannot, then let him place his hand over his mouth so that he will not give the Shaytaan any way to reach him.
He should strive to come to prayer when he is energetic and active, and he should ask Allaah to protect him against what is happening to him in his prayer. If he asks Allaah sincerely and does whatever he can to rid himself of this problem, Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad) concerning Me, then (answer them), I am indeed near (to them by My Knowledge). I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me (without any mediator or intercessor). So let them obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be led aright”

[al-Baqarah 2:186]
end quote.
And Allaah knows best.
