Mufti Sahab Assalm Alekum, I have few question please clear that. 1. While giving Gusal to Janazaa, is there any hadith to give incense sticks fragrance to kafan ro dead body. 2. Use of water from Matakaa is sunnah ? 3. After Farz namaz many people change or moved slightly t oother place for sunnah, is this is also from hadith? 4. There will be 73 firkaa, 1 will goto jannat and rest all will goto jahannum. I heard from Alim, so after completing there pnishment in Jahannum will Allah allow them to go to Jannat or they will be like kafir mean forever they will be in jahannum. 5. One more thing I want to ask you that previously It was good for me to do istikhara, i mean i was getting answer from answer, but since 2-3 months I had done many istikhara, for 1 query I had done 2 to 3 time istikhara but i am not getting any hint or answer from Allah, can you please tell me what will be the reason or what shoul I do because in past previous to this proble i have many istikhara and i got answer.
Answer:
(Fatwa: 1250/982=H/1430)
(1) Yes, it is proved.
(2) No, but there is no wrong if Zamzam is sprayed a little at kafan.
(3) It is better to move slightly or change the place: ھکذا فی الفتاوی رد المحتار(قبیل فصل فی القراۃ من کتاب الصلاۃ 1:256)
(4) Their condition shall not be like that of the kafirs.
(5) In istikharah, it is enough to get one’s heart tended to some act in negative or positive. It is not necessary to get answer or explicit signal.
Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) knows Best
