Summarized Fatawaa

• Is Fajr(dawn) Sunnah a confirmed one?
Yes, it is a confirmed Sunnah which the Prophet(PBUH) used to offer regularly.

• Is it permissible for a woman to uncover her face while performing Umrah(minor Hajj)?
The woman who is in a state of Ihram(ritual consecration) should uncover her face and hands, but it is permissible for her to let her head-covering garment drape from her head down over her face when non-Mahram (i.e., marriageable) men pass by her.

• Is Zakah due on the orphan`s money?
Yes, Zakah is due on the money of the orphan.

• What should a person who was favored from Allah with a newborn, but couldn`t afford an Aqeeqah, do?
Aqeeqah(the sheep slaughtered on the seventh day from the child`s birth) is a desirable Sunnah for the financially able since Allah, The Exalted, charges not a soul beyond its capacity. Therefore, if the father couldn`t afford the Aqeeqah before the end of his wife`s confinement, then it isn`t due on him, and if he was able to afford it later on, then it is permissible, but if he didn`t until the child reached puberty, the latter can offer the Aqeeqah himself.
