FAQS

Prayer54

    Ablution and Prayer

        With greetings, I have pen lines on my hand at work. Do pen lines invalidate ablution?

        In the name of God. There is no problem if it does not prevent water from reaching it.

    Prayer

        Hello; If someone wants to travel to Guelph, Waterloo, etc., will their prayers be broken?

        In the name of Allah. The amount of breaking the prayer is the distance travelled by the religious pilgrims (total round trip of about 44 kilometres).

Fasting

    Fasting

        Hello. I have type 1 diabetes and I have to inject insulin at least three times a day. Is fasting forbidden from me or not? Especially considering the approximately 18 hours of fasting per day.

        Injecting an ampoule does not invalidate the fast, and if fasting is harmful to him, he should not fast.

    Fasting in the summer

        Hello. I am going to Montreal this summer and when I checked the religious times for this year's Ramadan in Montreal, I saw that the morning prayer is at 2:30 AM and the evening prayer is at around 9 PM (21). Considering that I will be a newcomer and I will have a lot of work to do to find a house, office work, job, etc., the long hours of fasting (about 20 hours) will be difficult for me. Does this include Asr and Harz and can I make up my fast when I return to Iran in the winter? I have also heard that in countries with long days, it is possible to break the fast before sunset (about 12 hours after the morning prayer). Is this true? Thank you.



        Anyone who can fast from dawn until the beginning of the night and is not under unbearable hardship is obligated to fast or travel and then make up his fast. However, those who are unable to fast for this period should either travel or make the intention to fast from dawn. However, whenever they feel that continuing the fast is unbearable for them, they should break their fast - drink the necessary amount of water or food - and then make up the fast for that day, and there is no expiation for them.

Hajj

    Hajj

        Hello. I would like to know your opinion about participating in the Hajj and Umrah ceremonies. I read in the book Return to Islam by Allama Mansour Hashemi Khorasani that according to the verses of the Quran, participation in sin and aggression against Muslims is forbidden, and considering that the House of God is currently in the hands of the House of Saud, Muslims should refrain from going to the Hajj and Umrah so that this regime is financially weakened. I would like to know your opinion on the issue raised in the book Return to Islam. Thank you.


        I do not know the person mentioned, and in matters of Sharia, you should ask your religious authority, and the obligation of Hajj is one of the primary commands of Islam
        And changing its obligation to a secondary one is subject to the opinion of your religious authority, and arguments like these do not make an obligatory matter forbidden.
