If you are visiting, you should refer to your own prayer calendar for the Iftar or to the host ?

I know that according to Hanafi fiqh, it is considered impermissible to recite from a physical mushaf of the Quran or from a moblie phone.
However, given that it seems highly unlikely that masaajid in the US will open for Taraweeh during Ramadhan, can there be some lenience in this regards for non-huffaaz offering Taraweeh at home?
I am also considering a situation where the recitation is not done using a physical mushaf, but a digital tool such as a mobile phone?
If permissible, what considerations should we keep in mind?
If impermissible, what is the best way to offer Taraweeh at home for non-huffaz?
Jzk khair.

Assalamu Alaykum. Ramadhan is coming soon and masjids this side are closed. Only adhan is given out no jamaat because of the situation here. My questions are the following:
1) Can we read taraweeh with a few brothers with jamaat ?
2) Im not a hafidh but i know surahs like surah yaseen,mulk,al kahf ad duha till naas. So can i lead salah? How will i read ? Read the surahs in order or ??

Assalamu Alaikum,
By the grace of Allah (SWT), I hope everyone is doing really good and living a healthy life. Alhamdulillah. I have a question regarding Salat Ul Ishraq. It is performed after sunrise. Now, before an EID salah, it is not permitted to perform any nafl salah when your are in the mosque or home. So now I would like to as our Prophet (SA) used to pray Salat Ul Ishraq everyday, is it not permissible to perform Salat ul Ishraq as well before Eid Salah? If it is or if it isn’t, can I get a proper explanation on this with references as well please?
May Allah (SWT) bless us all and forgive our sins.
Jazakallah Khair

Asalamualaikum
When I was between 14 and 16 years of age. I had work to go work as part of school program for work experience. One day when I left work and I walked into a shop and bought snacks or one snack and eat them even though I was fasting in month of Ramadan. Straight away I regretted doing this. I have only once broken my fast on purpose and I’m currently 30 years of age.
I would like to tell you a bit about my background. In my family home was listening to Music, watching movies, people would swear and insult and my Islamic educations wasn’t the best and until a few years ago I didn’t know much about Islam and began learning.
I wasn’t shown Islam in correct way I remember being very little and being hit and I was crying a lot. I only talked to the person who was talking to me as I felt rude for not talking back to him and my teacher hit me.
What I’m tying to say is my family home and madrassa experience wasn’t the best
So because I broke my fast on purpose once in my life. What do I have to do now? I already repented and kept one fast to make up for the one I broke on purpose. But I made up for that fast recently, when I was about 29 of age. But I broke my fast when I was between 14 and 16 years of age.
Also I didn’t know putting oil or medication drops in your ear breaks your fast. I cant remember if it was oil or medicine drops for ears that I put in my ears but it was for a medical condition. I did this a few times, I either put oil or medicine drops inside my ear whilst fasting. What do I have to do now? I have already made up for the fasts that I broke unknowingly by putting medicine ear drops oil into my ear but it was maybe after one year had passed then I made up for those fasts. I made up for those fasts by keeping one fast for every fast I broke in Ramadhan.
Also I knew having intercourse with your wife breaks your fast. But I didn’t know masturbating and ejaculating breaks your fast. I knew it was a sin but I didn’t know it breaks your fast. I did this a few times in one Ramadhan when I was living in ignorance times. What do I have to do now? I have already made up for the fasts that I broke unknowingly by masturbating and ejaculating but it was maybe after three years had passed then I made up for those fasts that I broke unknowingly by masturbating and ejaculating. I made up for those fasts by keeping one fast for every fast I broke in Ramadhan.
Also when I had masturbated during those time when I was living in ignorance I also was rude to someone and hurt their feelings does hurting peoples feelings break your fast . And also I was talking to a girl for the purpose of marriage but our conversation became haram in Ramadhan whilst I was fasting.
I know this are complicated questions but I feel embarrassed asking my local scholar and would rather ask online
please reply thank you
I consider me becoming a practicing person a big blessing from my Lord, considering the environment I was brought up in, the type of family I had and with little knowledge on the deen until recently when I began learning abut the deen and even now my knowledge on deen is little.
Thank you.

Asalaam u alykum.
My wife told me in the morning that I had tried to kiss her last night in the state of fasting. This happened once before and on that occasion I do not remember anything. However, last night I think I do remember inserting my tongue in her mouth and feeling the taste of her tongue, although no exchange of saliva (I think). If I was fully aware I would not have kissed her. My wife says my eyes were open. However I may have gotten up during my sleep. Exact details I can't remember. Does this necessitate a qada and or kaffarah according to the Hanafi school?
Jazakallah u khairun for your reply.
Could I please ask one other question: My 7day old baby vomited over me. I wiped this off my shoulder with a tissue. I changed my shirt. Then I forgot to wash my shoulder and prayed Isha and Fajr and zohr and then realised that I had not washed the area (shoulder) with water. Would my wudu and salah have been valid? I did repeat the salah to be on the safe side.

salam respected mufti saheb i have 3 small questions:
1. is the shaving of the hair for a man from directly where the navel is and below that or just around the actual private parts? and what about the backside area?
2. i have read in some books such as noorul idah that when fasting if water enters from the backside the fast breaks. how can you stop this happening when doing istinja and ghusl?
3. if in the state of needing farz ghusl whilst fasting to what extent must the water go in the mouth and nose so that the ghusl is done but the fast doesnt break?
please answer asap especially as ramadhan is very close.
Jazakallah

Assalam Alaykum.
I just have a couple of questions about the witr prayer:
1. Is the witr prayer supposed to be 1 or 3 raka?
2. At what point do I say the du'a in the final raka, is it before or after I do ruku? The reason I'm asking is because I went to two different mosques, who one doing the du'a after ruku, and one doing it before.
3. When praying witr in groups (e.g. during ramadan) should the du'a be said out loud by the Iman or should each person do their own du'a?
Thank you.
Salam.

Is there any hadeeth or athar suggesting that the qunoot in salaatulwitr should be read silently in the month of ramadhaan? Apart from the general ahaadeeth on reading a duaa in silent tone. Jazaakallah

I wanted to know if the bed where my wife and I have relationships in during night, is the bed clean to rest and lie on, with clean clothes. I always a blanket a top of the bed and lie on top of that. As the month of Ramadan is upon us, I am concerned about cleanness of the room and its surrounding.

1) Regarding the duaa which is made by the imaam in congregation after taraweeh salah, what is its status, i.e. fardh, sunnah, mustahab?
2) What is the status of the duaa which people read every four raka'ats (subhana dhil mulki wal malakoot...). Should it be read? If not, what should you do in the pause?

salaam,
can you please answer this asap...
I was just reading upon Laylatul Qadr, and I came across the following information, which was given in a talk by Shaykh Asif Hussain Farooqui (without any disrespect to the shaykh, could you also inform me whether you�ve heard of him or not) :
�It is stated in a hadith that if a person prays two rak�ah of nafil Salaah and in the first rak�ah he recites Surah Fatiha and then surah Ikhlaas seven times, and does the same in the second rak�ah. Once the Salaah is finished the person recites Astagfirullah 70 times. Then it is stated in the hadith that as soon as the person finishes, Allah (swt) forgives both his/her parents.�
There were no references to the hadith, so I wanted to know whether there are any evidences and if it is correct to pray salaah in the method mentioned above?
JazakAllah
