Question: Is it permissible to perform Qadha Salaah after the Fardh of Asr and Fajr?

Answer:  Yes, it is permissible to perform Qadha Salaah after having performed the Fardh of Fajr and Asr. However, with regards to Qadha Salaah after the Fardh of Asr, it will only be permissible before the sun loses its glow. Once the sun becomes pale and loses its glow, it will no longer be permissible to perform Qadha Salaah. This usually happens approximately 20 minutes before sunset.

Question: Is it permissible for a husband and wife to go to sleep after sexual relations without taking a Ghusl?

Answer: There are certain restrictions that come upon a person in the state of Janabah (ritual impurity) i.e. one is not allowed to perform Salaah and recite Quraan. It is, therefore, recommended that spouses hasten in taking Ghusl after having relations.  However, if they choose to sleep and perform Ghusl when waking up – there is  no problem with that.  

When asked about the habit of the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,   A’isha Radiyallahu Anha mentioned:  “Sometimes he (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasalla)  would have a bath at the beginning of the night and sometimes at the end.”  She then said, “Allah is Most Great. All Praise be to Allah who has put ease in the matter” [Sunan Abi Dawud]

Question: Is it permissible to keep a bird as a pet?

Answer: It is permissible to keep a bird as a pet provided that one takes proper care of it by feeding it timeously, giving it water and not harming it in any way.

A hadith in Sahih Bukhari states that a young Sahabi by the name of Abu Umair had a small bird as the pet, with the knowledge of  the Messenger Sallalahu  Alaihi Wasallam.  Another hadith narrated by Imam Bukhari in Adabul Mufrad (Pg.139) mentions that the Sahabah  Radhiallahu Anhum  were in the habit of keeping birds in cages.

Question: Is it permissible to kill spiders in one's home?

Answer: There are two aspects to consider: on the one hand, a spider made a web at the opening of the cave of Thawr for the protection of Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) and has thus become worthy of honour and on the other hand,  Ali (Radiyallahu Anhu) said:  “Wipe  spider webs from your houses, for leaving them in the house leads to   poverty.” 

 

Keep the above in mind, household spiders who build their webs in corners of our homes are not normally dangerous, should not be killed intentionally.  Remove them from the home by sweeping them out or catching them in something like boxes and throwing them out. 

It should, however, also be noted that there are some dangerous species of spiders – one is allowed to kill these types of spiders.
