Is planting on the graves forbidden?
I was told from Salafi guy that planting on the grave is forbidden as Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) did it only for himself and none of the Sahaba did it. The Hanafis, Shafi`is, and Hanbalis have all declared it to be recommended to place green stalks and the likes on the graves. If Prophet Muhammad (PBUH...

If Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) did it, I wonder why the Sahaba didn't follow it (if that is true)? Can it be an innovation?

Is burial at sea disrespectful to Muslims?
According to recent reports I've been reading about the death and burial of Osama Bin Laden, I've come across a notion that despite any body preparation that may have been done (washing the body, wrapping it in white, reciting litanies in Arabic), the actual act of burial at sea itself is somehow hi...
According to recent reports I've been reading about the death and burial of Osama Bin Laden, I've come across a notion that despite any body preparation that may have been done (washing the body, wrapping it in white, reciting litanies in Arabic), the actual act of burial at sea itself is somehow highly offensive to Muslims.
Is this the case? Is burial at sea, regardless of the personality, itself disrepectful or haram? Is there hadith or Qu'ranic input on this? And, how serious a disrespect would this be, if indeed the allegation is true?

"O Messenger of Allah! I want to go out and fight (in Jihad) and I have come to ask your advice." He said: "Do you have a mother?" He said: "Yes." He said: "Then stay with her, for Paradise is beneath her feet."
Grade : Sahih (Darussalam)
Reference : Sunan an-Nasa'i 3104
In-book reference : Book 25, Hadith 20
English translation : Vol. 1, Book 25, Hadith 3106
Is this hadith not considered shirk meaning paradise lies beneath someones feet and not with Allah swt grace and mercy the only way for our salvation?
Does this hadith have some weakness?

Are there any verses from the Quran or ahadith from the sunna that validate this point?

If you start praying zuhr 5minutes before asr starts, but whilst you are praying it asr starts does it count?
Assalamuailakum, I read that if you perform even one rakat of fajr before sunrise you have caught the prayer. Is this the same if you are praying zuhr and asr starts during it?

This is a copy of another question I deleted. That question was unclear and when edited it seemed nobody got to see the edited version. Therefore, here is a more clear version:
Basically I done wudu and prayed my namaz zuhr and asr. After this I looked in the mirror and realised I had dry skin on my nose. I went to the bathroom washed the dry skin and realised after that it returns to its dry state and nothing changes.So it seems that I shed skin and then new skin is exposed that has no water on it. I don't know if this has happened before the wudu or after so is my wudu invalid? If so what should I do with my Zuhr and Asr prayer?

Salamu'alaikum. Please is it permissible for someone to spend longer time in Sujud while the Imam had already gotten up? If no, kindly help me with the Hadith that prohibits that. Jazakumullah Khairan.

I wanted to know if it is permissible to recite the duas from the Quran after the last Tashahudd in prayer. I know that I can make duas after the last Tashahudd but I am wondering if there are any restrictions on Quranic duas at that stage.
