Question: When should one use the Miswaak?

Answer: The Miswaak is to be used on the following occasions or instances:

1. When making Wudhu.

2. When entering one's home.

3. When getting up from sleep. 

4. When one has bad breath (due to eating something with a strong odour)

5. When going to the Masjid.

6. When attending any gathering.

 7. When reading Qur’aan or Hadith. 

Beside the above, it is recommended to use the Miswaak at any time of the night and day, because of the general sense of the hadeeth:

السواك مطهرة للفم  مرضاة للرب

“Using the Miswaak cleanses the mouth and pleases Allah.”

ويستحب لتغيير الفم والقيام من النوم والى الصلاة ودخول البيت واجتماع الناس وقراءة القران والحديث ( حاشية الطحطاوي ص٥٣)

And Allah Knows Best

Question: If a person cannot remember whether or not he has Wudhu - what should he do?

Answer: There is a principle in Islamic jurisprudence which is: 

اليقين لا يزول بالشك

“Certainty is not lifted by a doubt.” (Al Ashbah Wan Nadhair p.60)

If one is certain about having made Wudhu and cannot, with certainty, recall breaking that Wudhu, he will be considered to be in the state of Wudhu.

On the contrary, if a person recalls breaking Wudhu and doubts as to whether or not he performed Wudhu after that, he will be considered to be without Wudhu.

And Allah Knows Best

Question: Is it permissible for a shop keeper to sell to a customer an item that he does not have in stock?

Answer: The general principle is that one is not allowed to sell something that you do yet possess. 

However, if the shop keeper informs the customer that he does not have the item in stock and together with giving him a complete description of the item he also fixes a time for delivery - then it will be permissible. (This is termed as Salam transaction according to the Islamic Laws of commerce)

وَأَمَّا نَهْيُهُ عَنْ بَيْعِ مَا لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ فَهُوَ أَنْ يَبِيعَ مَا لَيْسَ فِي مِلْكِهِ، ثُمَّ مَلَكَهُ بِوَجْهٍ مِنْ الْوُجُوهِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَجُوزُ إلَّا فِي السَّلَمِ فَإِنَّهُ رُخِّصَ فِيهِ

الجوهرة النيرة على مختصر القدوري (ج١ص٢٠٣)
