Day Questions

I have heard that some people reject those who were born out of wedlock because they see them as bad people. Does the Islamic Sharia condone the rejection of marrying someone because they are of illegitimate birth?

Marrying those people is permissible. Everybody is entitled to choose his/her life partner in the way that he/she sees suitable whether they were born from a legitimate marriage or not.The father of the girl that is approached for marriage should choose what is best for his daughter. Defining what is best for her depends on the particular circumstances, social values and maybe other factors. It is possible that the father may see marrying his daughter to a person born out of wedlock to be against her best interests.

A person was making a mistake in the sequence of his wudhu for some time, whereby he used to wash the left arm first and then the right arm. Are his previous prayers valid?

It is a condition in the correctness of the wudhu to wash the right then the left arm. Not offering the wudhu in this sequence makes it void and the prayers should be repeated.
