📝I am a Muslim who sometimes feels too lazy to pray. How can I overcome this?

If you are finding yourself becoming careless about prayer or losing interest in it, do not simply accept that state. Work on bringing yourself back to salah.
The more a person's faith increases, the more concerned they become about fulfilling what Allah has commanded. Here are some things that can help:

1. Remind yourself of the importance of prayer.
Salah is obligatory and is the greatest pillar of Islam after the two testimonies of faith. Neglecting it is an extremely serious matter.
The Prophet ﷺ said:“Between a man and shirk and kufr there stands his giving up prayer.” (Muslim, 82)
He ﷺ also said: “The covenant that stands between us and them is prayer; whoever gives it up is a kaafir.” (Tirmidhi, 2621)
Based on these and other evidences, the more correct scholarly opinion is that one who completely abandons prayer is a disbeliever.

2. Do not delay your prayers beyond their appointed times.
Deliberately delaying salah until its time has passed is a major sin.
Allah warns: “Then, there has succeeded them a posterity who have given up As-Salaah and have followed lusts. So they will be thrown in Hell.” (Qur’an 19:59)
And Allah says: “So woe unto those performers of Salaah, those who delay their Salaah from their stated fixed times.” (Qur’an 107:4–5)
When the time for prayer comes, pray it on time, even if you do not feel motivated.

3. Strive to pray in congregation.
For men, strive to offer the prayers in congregation in the mosque and do not neglect them. According to the stronger scholarly opinion, congregational prayer in the mosque is obligatory for men who are able to attend.
The Prophet ﷺ even instructed a blind man who could hear the call to prayer to respond to it. (Muslim, 653)

4. Remember the great reward of prayer and congregation.
Among the seven whom Allah will shade with His shade on the Day of Resurrection are “a young man who grew up worshipping his Lord” and “a man whose heart was attached to the mosque.” (Bukhari, 660; Muslim, 1031)
The Prophet ﷺ also said that a man's prayer in congregation is twenty-five times better than his prayer at home or in the marketplace. Every step he takes toward the mosque raises him in status and erases a sin. (Bukhari, 647; Muslim, 649)

5. Learn about the virtue of prayer and the seriousness of neglecting it.
Read about the importance and virtues of salah, as well as the warnings concerning those who are careless or too lazy to pray. Increasing your knowledge can help strengthen your motivation.

6. Choose good friends.
Stay close to people who take their prayers seriously and encourage you to pray. A person is greatly influenced by the people around them.

7. Stay away from sins.
Sin can weaken the heart, distract a person from worship, and increase the influence of Shaytaan. Strive to obey Allah in all areas of your life.
And most importantly, do not wait until you “feel like praying.”
Even when your heart feels distant, pray anyway. Keep turning back to Allah and ask Him to strengthen your faith and make salah beloved to you.
May Allah make us among those who establish the prayer, worship Him sincerely, and remain steadfast until we meet Him.

And Allah knows best.

📝I have a removable dental brace covering all my teeth. Do I need to remove it during Wudu so that water reaches my teeth, or is my Wudu valid without removing it?

It is not essential to remove this brace, because rinsing the mouth means making water move around in the mouth, and this can be done when this brace is there. But if it is easy to remove it – without any hardship – when doing Ghusl for Janabah , then that is better.

Shaykh Ibn Baz was asked: I have dentures. Is it acceptable to remove them for one Wudu, or must I remove them for Wudu every time I do Wudu?

He replied: “There is no need to remove the dentures. You can rinse your mouth when doing the first Wudu, and so long as you remain in a state of purity, you may pray with that Wudu. Then when you want to do Wudu again, you can rinse your mouth with the dentures in place, and there is no need to remove them." (Fatawa Nur ‘Ala Ad-Darb 5/101).

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymin was asked about someone who has some false teeth which he is able to remove, because they are not implanted, but it is difficult for him to do that. Is there anything wrong with that with regard to Wudu, i.e., rinsing the mouth?

He replied: “He does not have to remove the false teeth when rinsing his mouth , because they are small, and it is sufficient to move the water around in the mouth, and because the water will most likely get in, for water – as you know – is liquid and will easily get in between these false teeth and the gums. But if he removes it, especially when doing Ghusl for Janabah, that is better." (Liqa’ Al-Bab Al-Maftuh, 158/20)

Allah knows best.

📝 What is the ruling on straightening the teeth to correct a small lower jaw, overcrowded or crooked teeth, and protruding upper teeth, when some teeth need to be extracted and the teeth filed afterward?

Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan was asked about straightening the teeth and he said, If that is necessary, such as if there is some deformity in the teeth that needs to be corrected, then there is nothing wrong with it. But if it is not necessary then it is not permitted., rather it is forbidden to file the teeth or make gaps between them for the purpose of beautification, and there is a strong warning against doing so because it is a kind of messing about and altering the creation of Allaah.

But if this is done for the purpose of medical treatment, or to remove a deformity or for some other need, such as when a person is unable to eat unless his teeth are corrected, then there is nothing wrong with that.

With regard to removing extra teeth, Shaykh Ibn Jibreen said: there is nothing wrong with removing an extra tooth, because it deforms the appearance and makes things difficult for a person… but it is not permissible to file them or make gaps between them because of the prohibition on doing so.

And Allah knows best.

📝 What If a Woman Has No Mahram for Hajj?

It is not permissible for a woman to travel without a Mahram , even if she is travelling for the obligatory Hajj or obligatory `Umrah, according to the more correct of the two scholarly opinions.

Al-Bukhari (1729) and Muslim (2391) narrated from Ibn `Abbas (ra) who said: The Prophet (saw) said: “No woman should travel except with a Mahram, and no man should enter upon her unless there is a Mahram with her.” A man said: O Messenger of Allah, I want to go out on such and such a campaign, and my wife wants to go for Hajj.” He said: “Do Hajj with her.”

Is Hajj Obligatory for a Woman Who Lacks a Mahram?
Because of this Hadith and others which indicate that it is prohibited for a woman to travel without a Mahram, a number of scholars are of the view that the presence of a Mahram is one of the conditions of Hajj being obligatory for a woman.

So if you cannot find a Mahram to travel with you, Hajj is not obligatory for you , and you are excused, but will be rewarded for your intention in sha Allah.

Imam Ahmad was asked about a woman who was well off but did not have a Mahram – is Hajj obligatory for her? He said: No. (End quote from Al-Mughni, 3/97)

The Standing Committee was also asked (11/95): I have a problem for which I want to find a solution from Allah, who is Merciful towards His slaves. It has to do with my performing the obligation of Hajj. I am a woman in my fifties and for two years I have wanted to travel to perform the obligatory Hajj. What is preventing me from travelling is that I do not have a Mahram who can travel with me. My husband has no concerns except work and worldly matters, and he does not intend to travel for Hajj, unless it is arranged for free by the company for which he works. That will not happen until his turn comes, and I am afraid that I may die before I perform this duty. I have enough money to pay for provisions and the journey. To sum up: all my Mahrams are unable to travel with me because of their work.

They replied:

If the situation is as described, and neither your husband nor any of your Mahrams is able to travel with you so that you can perform the obligatory Hajj, then you are not obliged to do it so long as this situation persists, because the presence of your husband or Mahram for the journey to Hajj is one of the conditions of it being obligatory for you . It is prohibited for you to travel for Hajj or any other purpose without a Mahram , even with your brother’s wife and a group of women, according to the more correct of the two scholarly views, because the Prophet (saw) said: “No woman should travel except with a Mahram.” Saheeh – agreed upon. Strive to do righteous deeds which do not require you to travel, and be patient, in the hope that Allah will make things easy for you and grant you the means of travelling with your husband or a Mahram. (End quote from Fatawa Al-Lajnah Ad-Da’imah, 11/95)

And Allah knows best.

▪️Should the husband spend on his wife?
It is obligatory for the husband to spend on his wife according to his means. He does not have the right to make her pay for her own expenses, even if she is wealthy, unless she agrees.

▪️What must the husband provide?
The husband must provide his wife’s needs, including clothing, according to what is reasonable and within his ability. This does not mean he only buys clothes when they are completely worn out, nor does it mean he must buy new clothes every season if she already has enough.

Allah says:
“Upon the father is the mothers' provision and their clothing according to what is acceptable (on a reasonable basis).” [al-Baqarah 2:233]

Ibn Kathir said:
“It should be in line with what is customary among women like her in her country, without extravagance or stinginess, and according to what the husband can afford.” (Tafsir Ibn Kathir 1/634)

A working woman may need additional clothing for work, but this is not necessarily something the husband must provide. His responsibility is to provide clothing suitable for her home and permissible outings.

▪️Can the wife work and keep her salary?
If the wife had a condition in the marriage contract allowing her to work, and her work is permissible, the husband must allow her to continue. Her salary belongs to her, and he has no right to take any of it without her consent.

Allah says:
“O you who have believed, fulfill [all] contracts.” [al-Ma’idah 5:1]

The Prophet ﷺ said:
“The Muslims are bound by their conditions.”
(Abu Dawud 3594; classed as sahih by al-Albani)

If working was not part of the marriage agreement, the couple may agree that she contributes to household expenses in exchange for allowing her to work.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said:
“The husband is obliged to spend upon his family, upon his wife and children, on a reasonable basis, even if the wife is rich… He has no right to take anything from her salary… The salary is hers.”

▪️Should the wife give her salary to her husband?
The wife’s money belongs to her, and she is not required to give her salary to her husband. If she helps financially, it should be done willingly.

Shaykh Ibn Baz said:
“There is nothing wrong with you taking your wife’s salary with her consent… if she gave it willingly.”
(Fatawa Ibn Baz 20/44)

Spouses should not make money a source of conflict or treat marriage like a business partnership. The wife may support her husband willingly during difficulties, and the husband should avoid taking from her wealth because his role as maintainer is based on his responsibility to spend on her.

The husband should also distinguish between money the wife gives as a gift or help, and money she lends. A gift given willingly cannot be demanded back, while a loan remains her right to reclaim.

Allah says:
“Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth.”
[an-Nisa 4:34]

And Allah knows best.

📝 Do you need to tell someone receiving zakah that the money is from zakah?

If you gave your zakah to someone whom you know is entitled to it, with the intention of giving zakah, then your zakah is valid and we hope that Allah will accept it from you. You do not have to tell the recipient that it is zakah.

And Allah is the Source of strength.

📝 Should I Give Zakah Openly or Secretly?

It is better to give obligatory zakah openly and announce it, so that others will follow one’s example, lest one be thought badly of and some people think that this person is not paying zakah.

But if a person fears that he will be showing off, or he fears that it may cause some hurt and embarrassment to the poor person, then it is better to give it in secret.

It is possible to combine both interests, by giving some zakah openly and giving some secretly, according to circumstances.

Al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

“It is better, in the case of zakah, to give it openly, so that others will see it and do likewise, and lest one be thought badly of. This is the same as obligatory prayer: it is recommended to do it openly. It is only recommended to conceal in the case of nafl prayers and fasts.” (Al-Majmu‘, 6/228)

Al-Mardawi said in al-Insaf (3/200): “It is recommended to pay zakah openly in all cases, according to the correct view.”

Ibn Battal said in his commentary on Sahih al-Bukhari, 3/420: “There is no difference of opinion among the leading scholars: giving obligatory charity openly is better than doing it secretly, and giving voluntary charity in secret is better than giving it openly… The same applies to all kinds of obligatory and nafl actions. Sufyan said: “‘but if you conceal them and give them to the poor, that is better for you” [al-Baqarah 2:271], except zakah. This view is like consensus.”

It says in al-Mawsu‘ah al-Fiqhiyyah (23/301), concerning matters to which attention should be paid when giving zakah:

“Paying zakah should be done openly and announced. … al-Tabari said: The scholars agree that doing obligatory acts openly is better.”

With regard to the verse in which Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “If you disclose your Sadaqat (almsgiving), it is well; but if you conceal them and give them to the poor, that is better for you” [al-Baqarah 2:271], this has to do with voluntary charity , and is like prayer: offering voluntary prayers at home is better, and offering obligatory prayers in the mosque with the congregation is better.”

And Allah knows best.
