Durood Ibrahim
DAILY FIQH
Question: What is the best Durood (Salaat & Salaam) to read in the final sitting of Salaah?
Answer: Sayyiduna Ka’ab bin Ujrah R.A. narrates that once it was enquired from Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) as to how blessings should be sent to him. The Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) replied that the blessings be said in the following manner;
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ، وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ، اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ، وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ ".
O Allah! Send Your Mercy on Muhammad and on the family of Muhammad, as You sent Your Mercy on Abraham and on the family of Abraham, for You are the Most Praise-worthy, the Most Glorious. O Allah! Send Your Blessings on Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You sent your Blessings on Abraham and on the family of Abraham, for You are the Most Praise-worthy, the Most Glorious.'

Question: What can I read to combat doubts and whispers of Shytan?
Answer: Sayyidna Ibn Abbas R.A. said that if Shytan casts an evil scruple in anyone’s heart, twhich causes scepticism about Allah and the religion of truth, he should softly recite the following verse:
هُوَ الْأَوَّلُ وَالْآخِرُ وَالظَّاهِرُ وَالْبَاطِنُ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ

Fidya For Missed Fast
DAILY FIQH
Question: Do I have to pay Fidya for the fast I missed in Ramadan due to illness?
Answer: It will be necessary for you to make up (Qadhaa) for the missed fast. If you cannot observe it immediately, you should observe it when your health improves. In this instance, there is no need to pay Fidya (monetary compensation)
However if you are experiencing such an illness due to which you are unable to ever fast i.e. the sickness is permanent and there is no hope of recovery, then you will be excused from observing the make up fast. You will pay Fidya for every missed fast.
The value of this Fidya for each fast is the same as Sadaqatul fitr, which is the value of 1.6 kg of wheat or 3.2 kg of barley. The present average value in South Africa is R22. (June 2017)

Using Fresh Water For Masah On Khuffain
DAILY FIQH
Question: Is it necessary to wet the hands afresh for the Masah (passing a wet hand) on the Khuffain (leather socks)?
Answer: After making Masah of the head, it is necessary to wet the hands again to make Masah of the Khuffain. It is not permissible to use the remaining wetness on one's hands from the Masah of the head for the Masah on the Khuffain.
The reasoning behind this ruling is that - the remaining water on one's hands after making Masah of the head is deemed as Musta'mal (used water) and it is not permissible to utilize 'used water' to cleanse a limb during Wudhu.
ولو مسح راسه ثم مسح خفيه ببلة بقيت بعد المسح لا يجوز ( رد المحتار ج١ص٤٢٦)
