I think in our languahe (Urdu or Punjabi) it's doing pechari and we've always been ill advised against it by our parents, but never clarified whether technically sinful or not.

Saeched askimam and islamqa = nada'.

can we read quran facing the back of other person? or can we sit down showing our back to the quran?

Answer

(Fatwa: 51/51/M=1432)

It is against etiquette.

1. My office is about an hour drive from my home, and I travel through VAN with 18 other members. During the Holy month of Ramzan I use to recite the HOLY QURAN in the VAN, please tell if if it is allowed to read Quran in VAN, when I am sitting behind other people and the HOLY QURAN is on their back (although the seat's back are fairly high and I keep the Quran low, so that seat's wall is between people's back). Also when crossing HIGH traffic like trucks, the truck driver is sitting above my head. It's the free 2 hours that I can easily recite the Holy Quran. 2. Reading Quran through computer, does it needs that a person should be "baa-wazoo"?? as we can't touch the words. 3. Can a person touch The Holy Quran on CD's and cassettes, when he is not "baa-wazoo" or is naapaak??

Answer

1. It is permissible to recite the noble Qur?aan while travelling. However, the Adaab (etiquette) of recitation should be maintained. We suggest you try obtain a seat at the front of the vehicle so that there may be no passenger in front of you.

2. It is not necessary to be Ba-wudhu (with Wudhu) when reciting from a computer.

3. It is permissible to hold cassettes in which the Qur?aan is recorded without Wudhu.

1. If there is a Quran in a room, should one keep their feet below that level in respect of the Quran? Or is it just prohibited to keep ones feet from facing it?

2. I usually have a back pain if standing for a while or walking too much. So if I stand really straight and walk like that to straighten my back, my chest comes out. Even though I have my scarf over it, but one can tell the shape. Should I still walk like that so my back feels good but chest comes out or should I walk slouched? 3. Tell me some zikr that I can do daily? 4. If a girl started her periods when she was 13 years of age. She didn?t punctually start reading namaaz then but started when she was 14. Does she have to make up for the missed nammaz (qazaii umri nammaz) for 1 year or 4 years, since one should start reading namaaz when 10 years old? Please clarify. 5. We usually get Urdu language newspaper and that means it might have name of muslim people with the name of Allah attached to it, like Abdallah, etc. Sometime it has articles that might have name of Allah or Muhammed (sallalahu alaihi wasallam) or Urdu translations of Qurani ayats. It is really hard to go through each page and each article to find name of Allah and cut it out. So how should you dispose these newspapers? 6. I am confused about this: Is it a biddat to do zikr or wazeefas that are not proven from hadees. Some ulamaas after Hazrat Mohammed (sallalahu alaihi wasallam) prescribe some stuff like this. Then why do some people say it is biddat to recite these duas, wazeefas, etc? Like may be, if you read this so many time something will happen or one will be safe from something.

Answer

1. Yes, the feet should be kept below the level of the Qur'aan as to raise
them above that level is disrespectful to the Qur'aan. Why don't you keep
the Qur'aan on a higher place instead?
2. You may walk with your chest out. However, since the shape of your body
is revealed, wear a looser scarf or covering over that area. This will
eliminate the problem you are concerned about.
3. Constant recitation of Istighfaar and first Kalimah. You may also recite
Durood Shareef daily. Allocate a fixed time and start off by reciting a few
times and increase daily if possible. It is better to do something little
constantly instead of doing a lot occasionally.
4. Since she became Baaligh at 13, Salaat was obligatory at 13 and not at
10. Therefore, she should make Qadhaa of one year only and not for 4 years.
5. You may burn them.
6. Dhikrs and Wazeefas not mentioned in the Ahaadith are not necessarily Bid
'at. Some Ulama prescribe the recitation of Wazeefas, etc. for certain
benefits based on their experiences. There is nothing wrong with reciting
these as they contain Du'aas, etc. addressed to Allah. You are actually
seeking help from Allah Ta'ala with these Du'aas. These can be likened to
making Du'aa in another language.

Accidental dislike on fourth reply - It was up, then went down, therefore assuming it was an error.
