Day Questions

What is Wilayat Takweeniyah?

In the Quran and authentic narrations, we find that prophets and their vicegerents suspended the usual laws of nature, like when Jesus cured the blind and the lepers, and when the vicegerent of Prophet Solomon brought the throne of Queen Belqees faster than the twinkling of an eye. There is no doubt that similar acts took place by our Prophet and the Imams (peace be upon them) as many authentic narrations indicate.

I have heard some people say that we should wash the face and both arms three times each, and I have heard others say that we should wash them twice only. Which is the correct way?

Wudhu is not correct if the face or arms are washed three times, in such a way that each wash is complete and covers the entire part. It is sufficient to wash the face and arms once. Washing them twice is permissible. One washing can comprise of pouring water over the face or arms once, twice, thrice or more times.

Most of the time while performing prayers of four rak'a, I forget which rak'a I was performing, whether it was the third or the fourth. In such a situation what can I do?

You should assume it is the fourth rak'a. And after finishing the prayer with Tasleem, you should perform a prayer of one rak'a - as the prayer of precaution - in which only Surah al-Fatiha is recited, and then you bow down, prostrate twice, and end with Tashahhud and Tasleem. Alternatively, you can perform this prayer as explained in two rak'as while in the sitting position.

What are the days of the week which are especially recommended to fast on?

It is recommended to fast every Thursday and every Friday, as long as they do not coincide with the day of Eid.
