1. What is your advice to an adult who looks around during the salāh?
2. How does one go about giving da’wah to those who blindly follow the madhhabs and other shaykhs, and is blind following permissible at any stage?
3. If a family member (uncle or auntie) holds beliefs like voting is kufr without restrictions and praying in masjids such as this one may invalidate their prayer, are they to be described as Ashābul-Bid’ah if the matters are clarified to them with precision and with the speech of the scholars?
4. What is the ruling of the one who is reading from the mushaf in the salāh and those who put their hands on one side covering their heart instead of placing it across the chest?
5. What is your advice to a young sister whose father would prefer for her to get married to someone in the family and she herself wants to get married to someone upon Salafiyyah? It is very difficult to reason with the father.
6. From my brothers is one who has stopped praying Fajr and he has started taking from the beard and has taken on western ideas such as the ‘law of attraction’. This morning other siblings followed him in missing the Fajr prayer despite me severely admonishing him in front of them with āyāt and hadīth.
7. Question regarding the ruling of qaza’.
