Ques : Spreading legs to Qibla and passing in front of a Musalli

September 9, 2011 in Manners/ Aadaab with 3 Comments

Ques : As salamu alaikum.

Hope you are well by the grace of Almighty Allah. I have some questions now-

- We consider it illegal to spread our legs towards Qibla while sitting or lying. Is this Haram or Khelaf-e-Adaab?

- I have observed in mosques that, if someone finishes his prayer while a person is still praying behind him, he usually waits until the other person finishes. Is this necessary? If necessary, how much (fardh, wajib etc)?

Ans : Walaikum Assalam.

1. It is khilaf e adab. As Allah has ordered us to respect the ‘Sha’aer’ of Allah. And Qibla is one of them. But its not haraam.

2. He can stand and go. Passing is to be avoided.

Jazakallah.

        It should be something like this;
        brief answers to the mass questions and
        detailed answers to a question which appears common and is very popular

        InshaAllah this way the site will become very interactive and very living.

        Keep up the good effort. JazakAllah
