Daily Fiqh Thread

Regarding the surnames issue above, jazakallah khair for your reply, brother Sheikh Huzaifah. It is the most realistic and balanced view I have ever came across. Some ulama have said it is haraam for the wife to take on the husband's surname, even though they may think that way I would say it is down to human error on their part.

So based on what you said, it is perfectly fine for a woman to keep her husband's surname and since it is common knowledge among people that she is indeed, using his surname only with absolutely no intention to cheat on her lineage whatsoever.

The Fuqahaa have mentioned that if a person performs his Fardh Salaah (the Raka`aats which are Fardh) while sitting, without having a valid excuse, then his Salaah is not accepted, i.e. must be repeated.

In Radd al-Muhtaar, Imaam ibn `Aabideen ash-Shaami رحمة الله عليه mentions four excuses:


  1. If he stands, he will fall.
  2. If he stands, his sickness will get worse, or he will take longer to recover.
  3. If he stands, his head will spin (he'll become dizzy).
  4. If he stands, he will experience severe pain.

If a person has any of the above excuses, then he may sit. However, there is a very important point to mention here, and that is: if a person is unable to perform Salaah standing, then he must perform Salaah while sitting on the ground. It is only if he cannot sit on the ground either, due to sickness, that he is then allowed to sit on a chair and perform Salaah. Some people, even though they may be able to perform Salaah while sitting on the ground, they instead choose to sit on a chair, but this is incorrect. Salaah is to be performed standing. If one cannot perform it standing, then by sitting on the ground. If one cannot perform it while sitting on the ground, then while sitting on a chair. If one cannot perform it even while sitting on a chair, then while lying down.

How have you been, akhi?
Very well bro... Ramadan has been doing better than last Ramadan, which is something great to feel.

And btw for your post above, what about if the Imam is sitting?
 
Oh shoot... I only got a partial part of this hadith here: [FONT=&quot]Found In: Sahih Bukhari Chapter No: 11, [/FONT]Call to Prayers (Adhaan)
Hadith no: 657Narrated: Anas bin Malik
once Allah's Apostle rode a horse and fell down and the right side (of his body) was injured. He offered one of the prayers while sitting and we also prayed behind him sitting. When he completed the prayer, he said, "the Imam is to be followed. Pray standing if he prays standing and bow when he bows; rise when he rises; and if he says, 'Sami a-l-lahu-liman hamida, say then, 'Rabbana wa Lakal-hamd' and pray standing if he prays standing and pray sitting (all of you) if he prays sitting." Humaid said: the saying of the Prophet "Pray sitting, if he (Imam) prays sitting" was said in his former illness (during his early life) but the Prophet prayed sitting afterwards (in the last illness) and the people were praying standing behind him and the Prophet did not order them to sit. We should follow the latest actions of the Prophet.
