Question :

If someone enters the mosque while the call to prayer is being given, then should he remain standing and repeat the words of the call to prayer and then pray the rak‘as of greeting the mosque after the call to prayer is completed? Or should he pray the rak‘as of greeting the mosque first and then repeat whatever words of the call to prayer that he is able to (if anything of it remains) after his salams [h: upon completing his prayer]? Or is there even any preference?

None of the Imams and Mujtahideen have regarded it permissible to do masah on the type of wollen, cotton and nylon socks that are available today. You have understood it incorrectly that there is a difference of opinion regarding this matter. In fact the opinion of impermissibility is unanimous regarding such thin socks.

Those who claim that it is sunnah to do musafahah with one hand should themselves produce a hadith in which [doing musafahah with] one hand is clearly mentioned. In fact, this is not enough. They should additionally prove that there exists a prohibition of performing musafahah with both hands. Without these two things, their claim cannot be substantiated.

When should the muqtadis [1] stand up for salah in congregation? Should they stand before the iqamah begins, when the iqamah begins or when the words hayya ‘ala al-falah are reached?

The answer to this question lies in the practice of the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) and the Noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them).

Slaughtering animals mechanically has become a widespread phenomenon in many abattoirs, plants and firms in a number of countries. The idea and objective behind slaughtering animals mechanically rather than manually is to speed up the process of slaughter, thus catering for a mass production.
