We have a prayer room at work and there i am the only Muslim woman
,
Am I able to pray earlier before all the men pray? They use it at its designated times and I know it isn’t permissible to pray earlier but in this situation I’m really not sure on what to do.
If I go in earlier before all of them and pray is this allowed?
Or should I pray my rakat at home for all the prayers I missed?
Please advise

Is my Ghusl valid, if I didn’t know?
A few days ago I made my ghusl and normally went on with my day and prayed. Just now, I took a close look at my nails and noticed that there was a bit of glue, that must have been there from the last time I used glue ( before I made ghusl ). I wonder if that makes my Ghusl invalid, as the whole body...
A few days ago I made my ghusl and normally went on with my day and prayed. Just now, I took a close look at my nails and noticed that there was a bit of glue, that must have been there from the last time I used glue ( before I made ghusl ).
I wonder if that makes my Ghusl invalid, as the whole body has to be wetted for ghusl, but I didn‘t know about the glue until now.

Praying Dhuhr Late to Avoid Making Wudu Twice – Is It Permissible?
Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, I have a question about prayer time. Sometimes, I take ghusl or make wudu about an hour before the end of Dhuhr time (for example, at 4:00 PM), and then I wait until near the end — I pray Dhuhr about 5–10 minutes before its time ends. Right after that,...
Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
I have a question about prayer time.
Sometimes, I take ghusl or make wudu about an hour before the end of Dhuhr time (for example, at 4:00 PM), and then I wait until near the end — I pray Dhuhr about 5–10 minutes before its time ends. Right after that, Asr time begins, and I pray Asr.
I have enough time to pray earlier, but I don’t want to take wudu or make ghusl many times a day if I am still in a state of purity.
My question is:
Is it allowed to delay Dhuhr close to the end of its time, even though I could pray earlier, just to avoid making wudu again before Asr?

Travel to homeland/birthplace
We live in Islamabad after my father's naval transfer. We've made up our minds to migrate here permanently. Even if he's transferred to my birthplace, he'll deny it unless inevitable. Can I shorten my prayer when visiting my hometown? We won’t go back to live there permanently or migrate back there

Wuduu (Jam’ and Qasr)
I am currently traveling, and I combine and shorten Dhuhr and Asr (Jam’ wa Qasr). I prayed Dhuhr, but my Wudu broke before praying Asr. After I make Wudu again do I have to repeat Dhuhr or just pray Asr?

Does almost laughing break prayer?
If you have the urge to laugh and try to stop yourself but make a slightly sneaky noise with your throat for a second, without smiling, does that break your prayer?

Is tissue paper sufficient for the toilet?
If you are used to using water and tissue to clean it is very hard to use only tissue and feel clean. However it would depend on how solid is your output as more solidity would be less need for water generally speaking.

If you are used to using water and tissue to clean it is very hard to use only tissue and feel clean. However it would depend on how solid is your output as more solidity would be less need for water generally speaking.
Now salah cannot be missed because you just used tissue say in a non Muslim place of work and you didn't arrange to have a bottle or wet tissue.
Question: So in this situation would you try your best to clean only with tissue but it didn't do a great job as your output was softer but that is best you can do and then you do wudhu and pray??
Having said that if you can use water to do wudhu and after washing your hands you ought to be able to use it for cleaning after toilet.

I was already late to my class so I couldn't restart my prayer again, is my prayer valid? If not, can I redo it?

Does my father need to clean the alleged place where he was licked by a dog a few decades ago from najis in order to begin doing prayers?
My father is a Muslim, but unlike me, he does not do prayers. In his youth, a few decades ago, he was licked by a dog. As far as I know, the dog belongs to a hard-to-remove najis, and to remove it, you need to wash the place 7 times with water, and 1 time with water mixed with clean earth so that th...
My father is a Muslim, but unlike me, he does not do prayers. In his youth, a few decades ago, he was licked by a dog. As far as I know, the dog belongs to a hard-to-remove najis, and to remove it, you need to wash the place 7 times with water, and 1 time with water mixed with clean earth so that the water will be cloudy. The question is, does my father need first of all to clean the alleged place where the dog licked him from najis (my father does not remember exactly where the dog licked him), since he wants to start doing prayers?

Recently I have been wondering regarding something that I've been hearing since childhood.
when we stand in the congregation for the obligatory prayer making the lines, the imam says in arabic a few phrases. i can make out that what he says is to make the lines in accordance with the sunnah (*our mother tongue is not arabic*)
my question is that is it a must to say that in arabic everytime before we start the prayer?, or is it sunnah?, or are they doing it just to remind us to make the lines straight as its kind of like the responsibility of the imam.
