I`m keeping a plot of land (10 Dunums) for my children. Is it liable for Zakah?
Praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds.
Ruling on the Zakah of a piece of land depends on the intention behind buying it. If it is intended for trading then it is liable for Zakah. But, if it is intended for present or future use, bought to be kept, then it isn`t liable for Zakah because the reason which makes it liable for Zakah isn`t existent. Al-Shirbini said: "When an item is bought for trading then it is liable for Zakah." {Moghni al-Mohtaaj, 2/106}.
In conclusion, there is no Zakah on the piece of land mentioned in the above question because it wasn`t bought for trading. And Allah The Almighty knows best
How many Rak`ahs (unit of prayer) are offered in Witr prayer?
All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds Witr (an odd number prayer performed between Isha`a and Fajr) is offered with a minimum of one Rak`ah, and a maximum of eleven, but offering three Rak`ahs is the minimum of its complete form. And Allah Knows Best.
Is it permissible to make ablution without answering the call of nature after waking up?
Washing front and back openings (Istinjaa`) is not a condition for the validity of ablution because it is done to remove Najaasah (impurity), thus if there is no Najaasah, there is no need for that, and then it is permissible to make ablution without answering the call of nature. However, prayer is invalidated if there is Najaasah on the anus ,or the front opening, so it (Najaasah) must be removed for the prayer to become valid, and not the ablution.
Where should a woman who is led by her husband in prayer stand?
