Question: What is the virtue of spending on one’s family on the day of Aashura?

Answer: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is reported to have said,
“One who generously spends on his family on the 10th of Muharram (Ashura), Allah will be generous on him for the entire year.” (Al-Bayhaqi, Shu’ab al-Iman)

In this regard, Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (Allah have mercy on him) quotes Sufyan ibn Uyayna (Allah have mercy on him) as saying,

“I have practiced this [spending on the family] for fifty or sixty years, and have found nothing but good in it.” (Lata’if al-Ma’arif)

Question: How many Rakaats should one read before the Fardh of Esha?

Answer: It is Mustahab to perform four Rakaats before the Fardh of Esha. [Quduri Page 99]

The four Rakaats are not mentioned specifically in a Hadith. Proof is taken from the Hadith
بين كل اذانين صلاة لمن شاء ( صحيح البخاري ج١ص١٧٤)
The Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said; “Between the Azaan and Iqamah there is a Salaah.”

Imam Abu Hanifa is of the opinion that “Salaah” in its complete form and quality is four Rakaats. [Munyatul Musalli Lil Halbi]

Question: The Marhoom (Deceased) lived in South Africa - can Hajj - E- Badal be made on behalf of the Marhoom by someone from Makkah or Medina?

Answer: The basic ruling for Hajj-e-Badal is that it should performed by a person who lives is in the same city/country as the Marhoom. If there is not enough money to perform Hajj from the country of the deceased, one may pay someone closer to the Haram to do the Hajj-e-badal.

Question: What is the ruling with regards to eating before the Eid Salaah on Eidul Adha?

Answer: It is Sunnah not to eat anything before the Eid ul Adha Salaah. Furthermore, it is desirable to eat from the meat of the animal slaughtered before consuming anything else.

Sayyiduna Buraidah (Radhiallahu Anhu) reports that on the occasion of Eid ul Adha, Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) he would not eat until he returned from the Eid salaah (and partook of the sacrificed animal). [ibn Majah]
(لكنه فى الضحى يؤخر الاكل عن الصلاة )
استحبابا فانه قدمه لا يكره فى المختار لانه عليه الصلاة والسلام كان لا يطعم في يوم الأضحى حتى يرجع فياكل من اضحيته فلذا قيل لا يستحب تأخيره الاكل الا لمن يضحى ليأكل منها اولا ( حاشية الطحطاوي ٤٤٠)
