Benefit regarding praying in pants | Sh. Uthaymeen
Question: Oh Virtuous Shaikh! Many congregants who wear pants [during the prayer], while in the position of prostration or bowing their awrah uncovers from above and they do not know that. So what is the ruling on that?
Answer: “There is no doubt that by wearing pants something will be missed in the prayer. First: complete tranquility while sitting [will be missing]. So like this, you find that those who wear pants sit on their heels [during prayer] along with bending their back a little.
Also, it prevents complete prostration. Sometimes the pants shrink and the top of the awrah uncovers, if what he is wearing on top does not hang down [to cover the awrah].
First: it is necessary not to wear pants because the Qamees is more concealing, spacious, and better for a person.
Second: if he wears pants due to a need like being a policeman and other than that, then let the pants be spacious so that he can do the prayer according to what is necessary. As well, what he wears above it should be apparent [i.e. covering], so that if the pants shrink when he prostrates, that which is above it will be concealing [his awrah]”.

The permissibility of a man asking for religious leadership which he intends from it the reward from Allah | Sh. Fawzan
It was narrated that ‘Uthman bin Abi Al-As said:
“I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, make me the Imam of my people.’ He said: ‘You are their Imam, so consider the weakest among them and choose a Mu’adhdhin who does not accept any payment for his Adhan.'”
Declared Authentic By Imam Al Albaani (Saheehul Jaamia 1480) and Imam Muqbil (As Saheehul Musnad 906)
Shaykh Saalih Al Fawzaan said:
Thus this narration indicates upon the permissibility of a man asking for religious leadership which he intends from it the reward from Allah Subhanaahu Wa Taala. The Imam is a religious position which rewards are intended from it. There is no problem with seeking it (wanting to be the Imam) desiring in goodness, as for if the position is a worldly position such as the leadership or office, then the man doesn’t ask for it, because the prohibition has come regarding asking for the leadership and that the one who asks for it will be entrusted to it and he who doesn’t ask for it will be aided upon it.

Is it permissible for the one who says directly after the Salaam ( of concluding the prayer), he seeks from those praying to mention Al Faatiha for cure? | Sh. Muqbil
Question:
Is it permissible for the one who says directly after the Salaam ( of concluding the prayer), he seeks from those praying to mention Al Faatiha for cure?
Imam Muqbil Ibn Haadee Al Waadiee:
No, this Is an innovation, As Sanaanee said in Subulis Salaam after he mentioned the supplications which have been reported after the prayer, such as
اللهم اعني على ذكرك و شكرك و حسن عبادتك,
And such as the reading of Ayatul Kursi, At Tasbeeh (saying Subhanallah) At Takbeer (saying Allahu Akbar) At Tahleel (saying La ilaaha Illallah).
He says: And as for the statement: Al Faatiha due to such and such intention, then it is an innovation, it hasn’t been affirmed from the prophet Sallallahu alaihi wassallam.
و الله المستعان.
End.

Which is more virtuous: The call to prayer (Athaan) or leading the prayer (Al Imaamah)?
Which is more virtuous: The call to prayer (Athaan) or leading the prayer (Al Imaamah)?
The correct stance and Allah knows best is that leading the prayer is more virtuous, because that is what Allah chose for his prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam, the proofs which have been reported in regards to the virtuous of the Athaan don’t indicate upon that it is more virtuous then leading the prayer.

The Ruling on Breaking the Prayer If Someone is Stealing From Your Bag- Shaikh Ibn ul-‘Uthaymeen
Question: The questioner says: One day I was praying and I had a bag which had an amount of money in it. Then I put it in front of me because my pocket was not big enough for it. So during the prayer, one person, from those with weak souls, came in front and stole it and escaped quickly. I was unable to cut my prayer to catch him. Is me allowing him to take it and flee while desiring the congregational prayer a correct action? Or is it obligatory to cut the prayer to catch him even if the money is a little?
Answer: “In this situation, if the prayer is voluntary, then no doubt that it is allowed for you to cut it in order to protect your wealth. As for if it is an obligatory prayer, then it is also allowed for you to cut your prayer in order to protect your wealth and catch this oppressor and transgressor. If you cut the prayer in this situation, then for you is the reward of the congregation because you did no cut the prayer except for an excuse. If you cut the prayer to protect your wealth and preserve it for yourself, and also save this man from this oppression and transgression due to the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
نصر أخاك ظالما أو مظلوما
Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or is oppressed
[Bukhari and Muslim]
(and he (ﷺ) clarified that helping an oppressor is by you stopping him from oppression), if you did his, then it is more deserving for you. What is important is that cutting the obligatory prayer or voluntary prayer in the likes of his situation, there is no harm in it to protect your wealth and prevent others from oppression.
Questioner: Even if the money is a little?
Shaikh: Yes, even if the money is a little because it is wasting money if you left it. Also, it will tempt this oppressor to transgress another time from another person.
Questioner: [I ask] in this occasion, what are the things or situations which it is allowed to cut the prayer?
Shaikh: There are many situations. From them: is if he fears for himself harm if he remains in prayer, [if] he fears harm to his wealth, and [if] he fears harm to an innocent person. For example, he witnesses a person attack another person in order to kill him or violate his honor or he sees a snake facing someone or wild animal or what resembles that. In this situation, he cuts the prayer to rescue an innocent person because rescuing an innocent person is obligatory. It [rescuing an innocent person] will be lost if he continues his prayer. As for continuing the prayer, it is obligatory [in general]; however, it is possible for him to catch it after rescuing an innocent person from destruction”.

A person should cover his awrah to the best of his ability | Shaykh Abdulmuhsin al ‘Abbad
Shaikh Abdul-Muhsin al-‘Abbad hafidhuhallah was asked:
Question: Is the Hadith of Sahal ibn Sa’d mentioned recently evidence that the awrah being uncovered from below does not harm the one praying?
Answer: “A person should cover his awrah to the best of his ability and if it uncovers unintended due to the restricted situation then it does not have an affect. This is what happened in the Hadith of Amr ibn Salamah al-Jurmi radiallahu anahu who led the people in prayer. He had an izar which had a split, so something of his awrah was uncovered. So the woman said:
غطوا عنا عورة إمامكم
Cover the awrah of your Imam from us
[Bukhari no. 4302]
So they bought a Qamis for him and he was pleased and happy”.
[Sharh Sunan Abi Dawood no. 84]
Shaikh Salih al-Fawzaan hafiduhallah said:
Question: What is ruling on the one who prays and some of his awrah is exposed and he does not know until the end of the prayer, such that one of the congregants informs him of that. So is his prayer correct or does he have to repeat the prayer?
Answer: “There is no doubt that covering the awrah is from the conditions of the prayer along with the pillars. Ibn Abdul Barr rahimahullah said: “The People of Knowledge have agreed upon the invalidity of the prayer of one who prays naked and he is capable wearing clothes” or something similar. So covering the awrah is from the conditions of the validity of the prayer if he is able. As for what is mentioned in the question from this congregant praying and some of his awrah is uncovered and he did not know that until after the prayer and those who are attended the prayer informed him, then there is some detail:
If this one has a lot uncovered then he has to repeat the prayer. As for if it is something small and he did not intend it deliberately, then his prayer is correct in sha Allah. The evidence is that Amr ibn Salamah radiallahu anhu prayed with his Companions and he was young in age. If he used to make sujud, something of his awrah was exposed and the women would see it from behind the row. He did not repeat the prayer and that was in the time of the Prophet sallalahu alayhi wa salam. So that indicates that if something is uncovered of the awrah and it is a little and he did not intend it, then his prayer is correct. As for if he intended and left it off and did not cover his awrah and he was capable, then his prayer is invalid, even if it was a little”
[Muntaqa min Fatawa Shaikh Salih al-Fawzan no. 107]
Translator note: To note, the lower back is not awrah, but if his behind is exposed, then the above will apply. It is important for the brothers not to pray in clothing that exposes the awrah in general.
