Summarized Fatawaa

• Is the prayer of someone who didn`t face Quibla (ka`ba direction) valid?
Facing the Quibla is a condition for the validity of prayer, and the prayer of the person who hadn`t faced the direction of the Quibla is invalid, and he is obliged to repeat it.

• Is it permissible for the big brother to force his sisters to wear Hijjab(Islamic wear) if their father didn`t do his part in this regard ?
The father`s attention should be drawn gently and politely, and the sisters should also be reminded with good words since Allah, The Almighty, says: “O ye who believe! Save yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is Men and Stones.”{Al-Tahreem/6}.

• Is it permissible to undergo plastic surgery only for adornment?
Plastic surgery is an exaggerated adornment, and a surrender to the will of the devil. However, in urgent cases such as having an extra toe that causes harm, such procedure is permissible, and applies to men as well.

• Is it permissible to repeat the Istikhara(seeking guidance) prayer, and is it a condition that one should sleep after offering it?
Istikhara is offered once, but it is permissible to repeat it, and sleeping after offering it is not a condition for its validity.
