Questions answered

One question a page, answered plainly and then explained with its evidence. These are the questions people actually ask — what breaks wudu, how to pray while travelling, what a daughter inherits, when zakat is due. Where the scholars differ, the page says so instead of picking one and hiding the rest.

Namaz

If Surah al-Fatihah is missed in prayer, is the prayer valid?

The hadith is plain — but the jurists differ on reciting behind the imam, and that should not be hidden.

Source: Sahih al-Bukhari 756; Sahih Muslim 394; Quran 7:204
Wudu and purity

What breaks wudu?

What is agreed and what is disputed are two lists, and mixing them is the root of the confusion.

Source: Quran 5:6; Sahih al-Bukhari 135; Sahih Muslim 360, 361; Sunan Abi Dawud 181 (graded sound)
Fasting

I ate by mistake while fasting — is the fast broken?

No. And the reason the hadith gives is more comforting still.

Source: Sahih al-Bukhari 1933; Sahih Muslim 1155
Zakat

Who owes zakat, and how much?

The rate is a fortieth — but what the nisab is reckoned from today is where the real difference lies.

Source: Quran 9:34-35, 9:60; Sahih al-Bukhari 8, 1447; Sahih Muslim 16, 979
Hajj and Umrah

When does Hajj become obligatory?

The Quran put the condition in one word — capability. The detail of that word is the whole answer.

Source: Quran 3:97; Sahih Muslim 1337; Jami at-Tirmidhi 889 (graded sound); Sunan Abi Dawud 1721 (graded sound)
Family

Must parents be obeyed in every matter?

The Quran drew the line itself — in the very verse that commands kindness.

Source: Quran 17:23, 29:8, 31:15; Sahih al-Bukhari 7257; Sahih Muslim 1840
Money

What is the ruling on interest — and what about banks?

The ruling itself is plain in the Quran. Deciding today's arrangements is not this page's work, and that has to be said honestly.

Source: Quran 2:275, 2:279, 3:130; Sahih Muslim 1598
Everyday life

Is answering a greeting obligatory?

The Quran commanded the reply, and in the same breath opened the door to giving more.

Source: Quran 4:86; Sahih al-Bukhari 6233; Sahih Muslim 54; Sunan Abi Dawud 5195, 5197 (graded sound)
