One day we were praying behind the Prophet. When he raised his head from bowing, he said, "Sami'a-l-lahu Liman hamida." A man behind him said, "Rabbana walaka-l hamd hamdan Kathiran taiyiban mubarakan fihi" (O our Lord! All the praises are for You, many good and blessed praises). When the Prophet completed the prayer, he asked, "Who has said these words?" The man replied, "I." The Prophet said, "I saw over thirty angels competing to write it first." Prophet rose (from bowing) and stood straight till all the vertebrae of his spinal column came to a natural position.

A mosque measures 64 sq. ft. in area but lacks a rest room and living quarters for the imam assigned to it. One of the congregants donated an adjoining piece of land located to the right side of the mosque.

What is the stance of Islamic law on this?

I was traveling inside Egypt; when it was time to pray. I became confused because I could not determine the correct direction of the qibla. I was told that I can determine the correct direction by turning my left ear towards the east. Is this true? Does this rule apply to all the regions inside Egypt? What is the ruling if it is difficult to determine the direction of the qibla?

Three years ago, a mosque was erected in a village and prayers have since been held there. The mosque's qibla was determined following the qibla direction in the other village mosques. A dispute arose in January 2004 concerning its accuracy and an engineer from the regional office of the Ministry of Religious Trusts was summoned to determine its proper direction. He determined a new direction which further sparked another dispute between the villagers, dividing them into two groups: one preferring to follow the original qibla and the other favoring the newly determined direction. We would like a clarification on this issue and which of the two directions to face when praying. ?

There is a mosque in our village where a considerable number of Muslims perform their prayers. The mosque cannot accommodate all of them because the qiblah deviates from the mosque's structure. Due to that, it makes fitting a large number of people in the mosque impossible. Is it permissible to re-direct the rows such that they are aligned to the building instead of the exact direction of the qiblah? Please note that, the difference between the established qiblah direction in the mosque and that which we seek to establish is three degrees.

Background

Some Egyptian Muslims living in Greece managed, by the grace of Allah Almighty, to build a mosque. It is of course impermissible to use loudspeakers to make the adhan [call to prayer] or raise the volume for any other purpose. About five months ago, the number of the mosque goers started to decrease owing to a fatwa issued by a young man stating that it is not necessary to go to the mosque to perform congregational prayers as long as one does not hear the adhan. This man based his fatwa on a hadith in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded a blind man to attend congregational prayers at the mosque as long as he can hear the adhan.

'Eid prayers are held in the playfield of Bi`r Al-'Abd sports club. Because we are busy holding Ramadan sport competitions at the club and because it is too hot this year to pray inside the mosque, we—the employees of the club—readied part of the musalla [an open space specified for 'Eid prayer] with water, mats and loudspeakers. We started to perform Night and Taraweeh[1] prayers there and, due to the beautiful weather, congregants' attendance increased.

There are two adjacent mosques in our village, each containing a shrine of a friend of Allah. Since the 50's we have been alternating Friday prayers in the two mosques, but during audible prayers disturbance is inevitable due to the proximity of the two mosques. One person wants to tear down the two mosques and build a single one instead and pay for the construction himself but stipulated removing the two shrines from the mosques and transferring the remains of their inhabitants to the village cemetery. Some brothers agreed on the basis of the opinion of those who maintained the prohibition of praying in mosques containing shrines. What is the ruling on this?

Ten years ago, my uncle started using the women's section as storage space and refused to use it as a school for Qur`anic memorization. Now he wants to convert it into a shop. Is this permissible?

We pray at work daily with one of our colleagues acting as our imam. Once when he was leading us in the dhuhr (noon) prayer which is a four rak'a (cycle of prayer) prayer, he rose for a fifth rak'a after he had made the fourth. More than one person tried to alert him to his mistake by saying "subhan Allah" but he did not heed their gesture and proceeded to pray the fifth rak'a. He then made a prostration of forgetfulness after the fifth rak'a and closed the prayer. When asked why he did not respond to his colleagues' alert he said he was closer to standing than he was to sitting and for this reason he proceeded to pray the fifth rak'a.

We would like to know the ruling for this prayer and whether it is valid.
