بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم

The Method of Performing Wudhoo:​


  1. Recite the Niyyah for Wudhoo, which is "Nawaytul Wudhoo li-Raf`il Hadath" (I intend to make Wudhoo in order to remove impurity.)
  2. Recite the Tasmiyah (Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem).
  3. Wash both hands up to and including the wrists three times.
  4. Use the Miswaak (or in the absence of the Miswaak, use the thumb and forefinger to clean the teeth.)
  5. Gargle three times (use the right hand when taking water into the mouth).
  6. Take water into the fleshy part of the nose with the right hand and blow it out using the thumb and ring finger of the left hand. Do this three times.
  7. Wash the entire face down to the chin and to the ears on either side, three times. While doing so, make sure to wash the skin underneath the eyebrows by rubbing it thoroughly, and to make Khilaal of the beard (for men). The method of Khilaal is to pass the wet fingers through the beard (if it is thick). If there isn't much beard and the skin is able to be seen through the beard, then the skin must be washed.
  8. Wash the right arm up to and including the elbow, three times. Wash the left arm up to and including the elbow, three times.
  9. Make Khilaal of the fingers (pass the wet fingers through each other, from the top of the hand).
  10. Make Masah (wiping) of the entire head, the ears and the nape. This is done only once. The method to do so is as follows: While your hands are wet, put the middle, ring and little finger of each hand at the front of the head (keep the index finger and thumb separate). Then, wipe all the way to the back of the neck, once. Thereafter, wipe the two ears using the thumb and index finger of each hand. Lastly, wipe the nape using the back of the hands.
  11. Wash the right foot up to and including the ankle, three times, and make Khilaal of the toes (pass the little finger through the gap between each of the toes). Wash the left foot up to and including the ankle, three times, and make Khilaal of the toes (same like with the previous foot.)
  12. Recite the Shahaadah (Ash-hadu Al-Laa Ilaaha Illallaah wa Ash-hadu Anna Muhammadan `Abduhu wa Rasooluh).
  13. Recite the following Du`aa, "Allaahummaj-`alnee minat Tawwaabeen waj-`alnee minal Mutatahhireen." (O Allaah, make me from those who repent and whose repentance You accept, and O Allaah, make me from those who are purified.)

[Note: The left hand should be used for washing the feet and making Khilaal of the toes.]

Sheikh, I've realized I've made a few mistakes in the wudhu because humans don't have the best of memories. Can I just review it here or do I have to redo those prayers?
And what about waswas on doubts in the prayer, such as when the shaytan comes and says "Did you say Arahmaneraheem? Did you forgot that ayat". This has been making me repeat it, and I feel like this is just unecessary of what I'm doing and I want to stop it.

Will my intention of saying what I am intending to say work?

And also, what is specifically "rushing the prayer"? Like can you describe it?

And ways to protect yourself from riya?

Jazakallah for your time

1) You don't have to repeat the Wudhoo, akhi. As long as you have performed the four Faraa'idh (compulsory actions) of Wudhoo, your Salaah (and Wudhoo) was valid, Alhamdulillaah.

2) Ignore those Waswaas. Shaytaan does that to trouble the Mu'min. All such Waswaas should simply be ignored. Don't repeat the Salaah. It was valid, In Shaa Allaah. Paying attention to such Waswaas only encourages Shaytaan. The more a person ignores it, the rarer it becomes.

3) A person can be rushing Salaah in a couple of different ways:

* Not taking time to recite the letters properly. This is very common. It is important to recite all of the letters and words properly; not only the Qiraa'ah (i.e. Soorah al-Faatihah and the Soorah), but also the Adhkaar and Du`aas, like Sub-haana Rabbiyal `Azheem, Sub-haana Rabbiyal A`laa, etc. If a person is not reciting all of them correctly, then he is rushing his Salaah.

* A person should spend enough time in his Rukoo` and Sujood to be able to recite the "Sub-haana Rabbiyal `Azheem" and "Sub-haana Rabbiyal A`laa" (respectively), calmly, three times (Sunnah is between three to seven times) without speeding. If a person does not do this, then he is rushing his Salaah.

* Not standing up properly after Rukoo` and not getting up properly after Sajdah. This is another common error. You see a person go into Rukoo`, stand up barely half-way and then go down into Sajdah. That's not how it should be done. A person is supposed to stand up completely after Rukoo` (reciting Sami`allaahu liman Hamidah as he gets up from Rukoo`), recite "Rabbanaa walakal Hamd" calmly, without rushing, and thereafter go into Sajdah. Similarly, you see some people go into the first Sajdah, and then barely get up before going back down into the second Sajdah. Again, that is incorrect. After getting up from the first Sajdah, there are some Du`aas that can be recited before going into the second Sajdah. One short Du`aa is "Allahummagh-firlee War-hamnee" (O Allaah, forgive me and have mercy upon me.)

Be calm and focused on Allaah Ta`aalaa while making Salaah, and automatically you won't rush, In Shaa Allaah.

May Allaah Ta`aalaa grant all of us the Tawfeeq to perform all of our Salaah with Khushoo` and Khudhoo`,

آمين يا رب العالمين

​
4) Protect yourself from Riyaa by first of all asking Allaah Ta`aalaa - before doing any good deed - that He makes it purely for Him. Make this Du`aa:

"Allaahumaj`al `Amalanaa Kullahu Khaalisan li-Wajhikal Kareem" (O Allaah, let all of our deeds be purely for You.)

Also, ponder about how it is only Allaah Ta`aalaa who can reward you, and not people. A person who does good deeds for the sake of people - and not Allaah - will be told on the Day of Qiyaamah to seek his reward from them and not from Allaah. (May Allaah Ta`aalaa protect us from such a fate, Aameen.)

No one truly matters besides Allaah. Remove everyone and everything from your heart and mind besides Allaah, and then do that action.

After doing any good action, ask Allaah Ta`aalaa to accept it.

Aameen, wa Iyyaak.

Ok, so I prayed with a shirt with triangles with stuff in it (like trees, and a part of a city I think?). What do I have to do? Repray the prayers? Leave them to be? Didn't wake up for Fajr salat as usual so maybe I should prevent a shirt with such things on it?

You don't have to repeat the Salaah, akhi. The shirt didn't affect the validity of it.

It is Sunnah, though, to perform Salaah with the arms and head covered. But if a person doesn't, the Salaah is nevertheless valid.

Mas'alah: If a woman is performing Ghusl while her hair is plaited/braided, it is not necessary for her to loosen those plaits, provided the water reaches the roots of her hair.

[Mukhtasar al-Qudoori.]

Huzaifah ibn Adam said:

If a person takes an oath that he/she will do a certain thing, and then breaks that oath, Kaffaarah will have to be made. This Kaffaarah (expiation) can be in a number of ways. Allaah Ta`aalaa says in the Qur'aan:

لَا يُؤَاخِذُكُمُ اللَّهُ بِاللَّغْوِ فِي أَيْمَانِكُمْ وَلَكِنْ يُؤَاخِذُكُمْ بِمَا عَقَّدْتُمُ الْأَيْمَانَ فَكَفَّارَتُهُ إِطْعَامُ عَشَرَةِ مَسَاكِينَ مِنْ أَوْسَطِ مَا تُطْعِمُونَ أَهْلِيكُمْ أَوْ كِسْوَتُهُمْ أَوْ تَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ ذَلِكَ كَفَّارَةُ أَيْمَانِكُمْ إِذَا حَلَفْتُمْ وَاحْفَظُوا أَيْمَانَكُمْ كَذَلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ آيَاتِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ


{"Allaah will not punish you for what is unintentional in your oaths, but He will punish you for your deliberate oaths (i.e. those which you break); its Kaffaarah (expiation) is that you feed ten Masaakeen (poor people) on a scale of the average of that which you feed your own families, or clothing them, or freeing a slave. Whosoever cannot afford (any of that, i.e. food or clothes to give, or a slave to free) then (he should) fast for three days. That is the Kaffaarah (expiation) for your oaths when you have taken them. And protect your oaths. Thus does Allaah make clear to you His Aayaat (Signs) so that you may be grateful."** [Soorah al-Maa'idah, 5:89]
​

According to the Hanafi and Hanbali Madh-habs, the fasting has to be done continuously, without any breakage (i.e. three days in a row). According to the Maaliki Madh-hab and one Qowl (verdict) within the Shaafi`ee Madh-hab, it is not necessary to fast all three days consecutively. However, another Qowl (verdict) within the Shaafi`ee Madh-hab states that it is necessary for it to be done consecutively.

If I'm not mistaken one of my Ustaadhs had told us that to keep it consecutively is preferred but it is permissible to keep them seperately as well. Now I am confused. Do I have to keep the fasts again consecutively? If one becomes weak easily would it be permissible to keep them seperately?
 
What is the ruling on clothing when taking Wudhu? Can you take wudhu with only pants/no shirt?

What is, specifically, laughing in the salaat/thinking about some other things in the salaat?
Like for example, how deep do you have to go into your salaat (thinking-wise) do invalid salaat?

Respected sister,

According to the Hanafi Madh-hab, the fasts have to be kept consecutively; all three in a row. If it is not done consecutively, it is not valid. Perhaps your Ustaadh was referring to the other Madh-hab that believe the fasts do not have to be kept consecutively.

If you are ill and not able to keep the three fasts consecutively, why not do one of the other two methods to make Kaffaarah (expiation) for the oath? Feed or clothe ten poor people. You could even ask someone to distribute food to ten poor people on your behalf, and you make the Niyyah (intention) of making Kaffaarah for the oath. By doing so, the Kaffaarah will be valid, In Shaa Allaah.

Even if the person is naked and makes Wudhoo like that, the Wudhoo will be valid. Obviously that shouldn't be done, because Muslims are taught to cover up the `Awrah even when they're alone. But in terms of validity, the Wudhoo is 100% valid. Making Wudhoo while only wearing a pants (no shirt) is completely fine (for men), because only the area from the navel to the knees is `Awrah.

---------------

No matter how deep in thought a person goes, his Salaah will remain valid. He will lose all of the Thawaab though. Laughing, on the other hand, will immediately break the Salaah as well as the Wudhoo. If a person laughs in Salaah, he has to re-perform his Wudhoo and re-perform the Salaah.

والله تعالى أعلم​
 
What about if one gets a remembrance of something funny and they stop reciting/cover up their mouth to prevent from laughing? Jazakallah
 
As long as the person had prevented himself from laughing, the Salaah would not break. But if he laughed, even a little bit, then the Salaah is broken.
 
Aiight I have some questions

*For madhabs, so I can't freely say that I want to follow hanafi madhab? Is it based on regions?
*If I touch a non mahram woman, my wudhu is invalid?
 
Ok, as I'm reading more into madhabs, my fear is increasing. I'm following Hanafeeh madhab because I have a scholar who I believe is very knowledgable. Is this ok?
