Answer:
- If a person was reading a four Rak’aat Salaah and mistakenly made Salaam on two Rak’aats, then he should carry on and complete his Salaah (four Rak’aats) and make Sajdah Sahw at the end. (Raddul Muhtaar, Vol. 1, Page 556)
This is if after making Salaam mistakenly, he did not do any action that goes against the nature of Salaah.
- If there is no fear of Fitnah and the occasion is such in which one cannot be easily accused of anything, then he can give her a lift.
- In this situation the Muslims of that particular area should come together and try their utmost to obtain the deceased Muslim brother’s body and bury him according to the Islamic way. If this is not possible then one should not attend the Janazah, as attending such a Janazah would be, in a way, giving the impression of you showing interest in the ways of the Kuffaar.
- If his money or surplus goods (non-necessities), after deducting his account (debt) from it, does not exceed the Nisaab then it will be permissible to give him Zakaat. On the contrary, if he has money or surplus goods which, after deducting his account (debt) from it, do exceed the Nisaab then it will not be permissible to give him Zakaat.
- In such circumstances it will be better to keep her at home and create a Deeni atmosphere in the house by making Ta’leem etc. He can also send her to the pious and Deeni conscious females of the locality who can guide her and try to keep her on the right path instead of sending her to school.
If Bakar wishes to send her to a girls boarding Madrassah then we recommend Madrassah Mu’einul Islam which is situated in Zakariyya Park, Lenasia (Tel. no. 011 859 1367, Fax no. 011 859 1813).
