salam alaikum, i am a very recent revert and for personal reasons (see my previous posts) have not told to parents yet; the problem is that i live with them and i am not free to pray salat as i should. for the salat during daytime (dhuhr, asr, maghrib) there is no problem cause most of the time i am alone in the house; for isha prayer i have to wait until my parents have gone to bed (that's no problem); the problem is for fajr prayer. when it was at 8 or even later, i could wait my parents to go out, but now it's starting at about 5 until 6 30 ... my problem isn't waking up early: when my parents went on holidays for two weeks i used to wake up at 4 30 to pray fajr; but the problem is that when they are home, if i wake up with the alarm, do wudu .. they always wake up and ask me what's wrong. i have tried to tell them that i wake up early to study...but when it is at 4 in the morning.. another problem is that my room has no door, so i can't just lock myself in and pray; there is always the risk of them coming to see what i am doing, why am i awake.. (u know how apprehensive mothers are). so, i used to wake up at 7 and pray fajr as soon as possible, hoping that Allah (swt) would forgive me and thinking that a late prayer is better than no prayer at all; but now i have read on a islamic guide for reverts that it is forbidden to postpone fajr prayer when the sun has already rised and that isha prayer cannot be done after midnight and that in general there are very strict rules about when and how one can postpone prayers. i want to ask u: 1) what are the exact rules of postponing prayers out of their scheduled times or grouping prayers together? 2)is it true that when u pray alone u should make the adhan and qiyyam call (i read it somewhere) thanks |

| [slm] From Islam Q&A: [code]Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked: Is it permissible for a woman to do the adhaan and iqaamah for prayer or not? The shaykh replied: It is not prescribed for women to pronounce the adhaan or iqaamah for prayer, rather that is for men. Neither the adhaan nor the iqaamah is prescribed for women, rather they should pray without the adhaan or the iqaamah. [/code] Are your parents awake at 4:30 in the morning? You may say your prayers very very, quietly. Regarding your Alarm clock.. can you get a small travel one and stick it under your pillow, so only you will hear it? What do you think would happen if your parents found you praying? |

| Assalamu 'alaikum, [quote] but now i have read on a islamic guide for reverts that it is forbidden to postpone fajr prayer when the sun has already rised and that isha prayer cannot be done after midnight and that in general there are very strict rules about when and how one can postpone prayers. [/quote] Ok, I guess this is a common misconception that one cannot pray 'Isha after midnight, and I wonder which Islamic guide for reverts are u reading that says that. Just be careful. Not everything out there written about Islam is true. People make mistakes, even scholars can make mistakes. So one needs to be careful. Here is a link where u can find out the valid time for praying 'Isha: [url]http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/law/fiqhussunnah/fus1_06.html[/url] It has the details of valid times of other prayers too. [quote]1) what are the exact rules of postponing prayers out of their scheduled times or grouping prayers together? [/quote] InshaAllah this should help u: [url]http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/law/fiqhussunnah/fus2_37.html[/url] Wassalam. |
