If a masjid is crowded, don't spread your hands inconsiderately widely as to not cause a tight and uncomfortable position to the others.
 
^ not sure if salaah will be invalid, however the angels move far away from the praying person. that's what i know from the little knowledge i have.

looking down (guiltily for that matter) and accepting any mistakes you've committed (even if you haven't) while a senior scolds you, instead of talking back.
 
Assalaamu Alaykum,

Masha'Allaah, a nice thread. :)

Here's one I came across:

Do not fault anything that is offered to you at the table by saying things such as there is not enough seasoning, vegetables or honey and so on.

what??? I don't like onions or garlics, but I've never heard this one. Could you please post the source?

I meant that they cannot pray at masjid. They have to pray at home. Sorry about that. Here is the Source.

Praise be to Allaah.

The one who is praying is conversing with his Lord, as the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When one of you stands to pray, he is conversing with his Lord” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (390) and Muslim (762). So he should be fully prepared for standing before his Lord, and his body and clothes and the place where he prays should be clean and free of any offensive smells. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“O Children of Adam! Take your adornment (by wearing your clean clothes) while praying [and going round (the Tawaaf of ) the Ka‘bah] and eat and drink but waste not by extravagance, certainly He (Allaah) likes not Al‑Musrifoon (those who waste by extravagance)”

[al-A’raaf 7:31].

So the worshipper is enjoined to adorn himself and look presentable when praying.

And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: Were it not for the fact that I did not want to make things too hard for my ummah, I would have commanded them to use the siwaak at every time of prayer.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (838)and Muslim (370).

With regard to the validity of prayer when there is an unpleasant smell in the mouth, it is valid but it is makrooh (disliked).

If the prayer is offered in the mosque and this smell is obvious to such an extent that it annoys other worshippers and the angels, then it is haraam. Al-Bukhaari (806) and Muslim (870) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever has eaten of this plant (i.e., garlic), let him not approach our mosque.”

And he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever has eaten of this plant let him not approach our mosque and annoy us with the smell of garlic.” Narrated by Maalik in al-Muwatta’ (27).

Our advice is to pay attention to cleaning your mouth, and if it needs some treatment then have it treated so that you will not be embarrassed and keep away from prayer in congregation.

And Allaah knows best.
 
apologise if you bump into someone on the street, rather than walking off as if you didn't know.
 
moving away rocks and sticks from footpaths so it's all clear for people to walk on without difficulty. (sadaqah)
 
If possible try not to bring your baby to the masjid, because if he cries the imam will have to try to speed up the prayer and it will disturb other worshipers ( i admit I'm guilty of doing this before)
 
if cooking something, and it's possible the aroma would drift next door, send some of the food to the neighbours.

And if your kid is crying when he is not with you in the salat, its better to break your salat and go look at him, because he/she might have gotten hurt.
Praise be to Allaah.

Firstly:

The scholars are agreed that stopping an obligatory prayer deliberately with no excuse after having started it is haraam.

The legitimate excuses that make it permissible to stop the prayer include those which are mentioned in the saheeh Sunnah, and those which have been determined by analogy to be similar to them or to be stronger reasons.

Among the legitimate excuses that make it permissible to stop the prayer – whether it is obligatory or naafil – are killing snakes, fear of losing one's belongings, helping one who is in distress, saving one who is drowning, putting out a fire, and warning a heedless person of something that may harm him.

These excuses have been mentioned in the answers to question no. 65682 and 3878.

Secondly:

If a child is crying and his father or mother are unable to quieten him down during a congregational prayer, then it is permissible to stop praying in order to quieten him down, for fear that his crying may be because of some harm that has befallen him, and for fear that the prayer of others may be spoiled because of the disturbance.

If it is possible to quieten him down with a slight movement and without turning away from the qiblah, then the woman may do that and go back to her prayer. She may, for example, move backwards to pick him up without stopping her prayer. But if she is not able to quieten him down without stopping her prayer altogether, then she should do that and there is no sin on her in sha Allaah.

It says in Mataalib Ooli al-Nuha (1/641):

It is Sunnah for the imam to make the prayer brief if something happens during the prayer that means that one of the worshippers has to stop praying, such as hearing a child crying, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “I start the prayer intending to make it long, then I hear a child crying, so I make it brief lest I cause hardship to his mother.” Narrated by Abu Dawood. End quote.

The scholars of the Standing Committee were asked:

Is it permissible to stop praying if the worshipper sees an animal coming towards him such as a scorpion or other poisonous animal? Similarly, when praying in al-Haram, is it permissible to stop praying so that he can follow his son or daughter who is about to get separated from him and lost?

They replied:

If it is easy for him to get rid of the scorpion etc without stopping the prayer, then he should not stop praying, otherwise he may stop. Similarly if it is easy for him to look after his child without stopping the prayer, he should do so, otherwise he may stop it.

End quote.

Islam Q&A
 
if you feel like sneezing or coughing, move your face away from people/food, not closer to them/it (happened last night - wasn't the best feeling)
 
Yeah I hate when people sneeze near me without covering, especially the smell..+o( Its fine if it was a unexpected sneeze.

Also, smile and say salam to Little kids when passing by. Dont be arrogant about it.
 
If you want to give an advice to someone, just take him apart so no one else can hear your talk, just to not embarrass him.
 
covering the head (for girls) even among women. it's very modest. plus angels of rahmah stay near the person who stays covered.
