Cracking The Knuckles
Question: Is there any problem with cracking the knuckles?
Answer: It is reported in a Hadith:
عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا تُفَقِّعْ أَصَابِعَكَ وَأَنْتَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ - سنن ابن ماجه
Ali Radiyallahu Anhu reports that the Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said: “Do not crack your knuckles whilst in Salaah.”
ويكره ان يشبك اصابعه وان يفرقع كذا فى فتاوى قاضى خان والفرقعة ان يغمزها او يمدها حتى تصوت كذا فى النهاية الفرقعة خارج الصلاة كرهها كثير من الناس كذا فى الزاهدى عالمكيرى ج 1 ص 106
The Jurist have ruled that one should abstain from cracking the knuckles in Salaah and in general.

Can a dead person hear?
Question: Can a dead person hear?
Answer: Sayyidna Abdullah bin Umar Radiyallahu Anha, holds the view that the dead do hear. This is based on a Sahih hadith:
ما من احد يمر بقبر اخيه المسلم كان يعرفه في الدنيا فيسلم عليه الا رد الله عليه روحه حتى يرد عليه السلام. (ذكره ابن كثير في تفسيره مصححا عن ابن عمر رضى الله عنه)
"When a person passes by the grave of a Muslim brother - whom he knew when he was alive - and greets him, Allah returns the deceased spirit into his body, so that he may respond to the greeting.'

Qahdaa of The Sunnah of Fajr
Question: If I missed the Sunnah Salaah before Fajr, is there Qadhaa for it?
Answer: If one misses the Sunnah of Fajr together with the Fardh Salaah, then he may read the Sunnah Salaah with the Fardh Salaah on condition that he performs the Qadhaa on that day in the time after sunrise until before Zawaal. However, if he only misses the Sunnah then there will be no Qadhaa for that. In any event, if one desires to perform two Rakaats Nafl as a recompense then one is at liberty to do that and it should also be performed before Zawaal of that day.

A Child Taking Possession of Zakaah
Question: If a child is eligible to receive Zakaat, can Zakaat be given directly to the child?
Answer: If the child is of an age whereby he/she has an understanding with regards to the usage of money then it will be permissible to give Zakaat to such a child. However if there is a fear of the child throwing the money away or destroying it, then it will not be permissible.
