some questions

[Ummu Sufyaan]

brothers and sisters. i have some questions, that i am hoping, inshallah, you can answer for me, with authentic soruses from the quran and sunnah.

1. if someone does an act of shirk/kufr without knowing, do they have to do a ghusl?

2. when the worshippier places their forheads on the ground during sujood, does the forhead have to touch the ground. i.e without a barrier. what i mean is that sometims, my head pieces slightly becomes lowedered during sujood and covers the top of my forhead, more like near the hairline.
thats it for now inshallah.

salamz sis

they need to make sincere tawbah and repent. I don't know about if they have to take ghusl again, but if they done major shirk/kufr they should do it and do shahadah again to be on safe side (especially if they apostated and returned back to Islam).

2. 'headpieces', do u mean ur hijab/khimar sis? I think its fine, because the prophet said 'i was commanded to make sujood on 7 places' (two of these are the feet, and you definately can mkae sujood wearing socks) so based on that its fine if your hijab is in the way. no harm at all inshalah.

hope that helps

take care salamz

jazakallahu khair for your reply.
whats the difference between a hijab and a khimar?

 

[lolwatever]

wa iyakum sis

oh i think khimar is more covering than Hijab... it goes down till the waste but its not like a niqab in that the face is still visible..

[Ummu Sufyaan]

in the book: requirements of jilbaab. the definition of khimar is as follows:
"al Qurtubi explains: 'Women in the past (i.e before the ayahs concerning covering properly were revealed) used to cover their heads with a khimar, throwing its ends, over their backs. this left the neck and upper part of the chest bare in a manner of the christians. Then Allah commanded them to cover those parts with the khimar.'

hence the khimar must fully not cover only hair, but the neck, the shoulders and the chest."
