Question: When should one read the after Salaah Adhkaar: after the Fardh or the Sunnan ?

Answer: The Sunnah Salaah is linked to the Fardh Salaah in the sense that it has been prescribed to make up for deficiencies in the Fardh Salaah and complete it. Therefore, it should be performed immediately, without delay.

Keeping the above in mind, it is preferable to read the post-Salaah Adhkaar, only after having perrformed the Sunnan Salaah. However, there will be no problem with reading it immediately after the Fardh Salaah.

كان معناها أن الاولى أن لا يقرأ قبل السنة ولو فعل لا بأس به ( رد المحتار ج1 ص530)

Question: How many Rakaats are Sunnah after the Jumuah Salaah? What categories do they fall in?

Answer: Six Rakaats are Sunnah after Jumuah Salaah, of which four are Sunnahtul-Muakkadah(Emphasized)  and two are Sunnah Ghair ul-Muakkadah.  (Ahsanul-Fatawaa V3/P486)

It is really sad that, these days, a large percentage of Musaalis leave the Masjid without performing any Sunnan Salaah. Not performing the Sunnah Salaah is source of deprivation and a display of disregard to the great virtue of the Jumuah Salaah.

Question: If one hears an Ayah of Sajdah from an audio recording or on a radio station  – is it necessary to make a Sajdah Tilawah?

Answer: Sajdah Tilawah is a Sajdah that one has to perform as an obligatory duty when one reads, recites, or hears, in the Salaah or outside of Salaah, some specific verses containing the words of Sajdah in them. There are 14 such verses in the  Quraan. These are indicated by the word ‘As Sajdah’ shown in the margin.

Keeping the above in mind, Sajda Tilaawah is not necessary if an Aayah of Sajdah is heard from an audio recording or a radio station. However, if the recitation is on the radio is live, then Sajda Tilawah will be necessary.

Question:  A husband sent his wife a message via WhatsApp stating: “I am divorcing you”.  Is the divorce valid and applicable?

Answer: It is not necessary for a husband to verbally utter divorce.  Talaaq issued via a WhatsApp message will be valid and applicable.  The Talaaq becomes applicable as soon as the husband types the message, and iddah(the waiting period) will start immediately. 

Notwithstanding the above,   it is sad that the husband has chosen such a reckless way to terminate the marriage.  Marriage is undoubtedly among the greatest bounties of Allah.  Terminating a marriage is considered to be ‘the most reprehensible,  of all permissible things’.  If a marriage has reached breakage point, it should be ended amicably, observing etiquette and decorum.
