Day Questions

Is it permissible to recite after the tasbihat al-arba’ah the following phrase: “Astaghfirullaha Rabbi wa Atoobu Ilaih, Allahummagh-firli”?

Yes, it permissible and you shall be rewarded.

It is claimed by some that Imam Ali (peace be upon him) offered prayers in congregation led by Abu Bakr. Is this true?

We are not aware of a historical source that clearly indicates this, but offering the prayer behind Abu Bakr does not give legitimacy to his caliphate. Imam (peace be upon him) no doubt was forced to give the allegiance to Abu Bakr. He did so because those people were ready to kill whoever does not pay allegiance. They killed Sa’d bin Abadah because he did not agree with them although he left Medina and migrated to Syria and did not resist them. This clearly shows that they were willing to do anything in order to be in power. From this, one can conclude that Imam Ali (peace be upon him) was coerced into certain positions. It is not far to consider that such prayers – if it really happened – made them confident that the Imam (peace be upon him) was not acting against them.

Can we eat food prepared by a non-Muslim? Are the foods only prohibited if they touch it with wet hands? and can we eat the food if they wear gloves?

Non-Muslims are tahir and they do not make what they come in contact najis. Food presented by them is considered tahir if the food was not najis, and can be consumed if it is otherwise permissible to consume.

Is the iddah period obligatory on a woman who used birth control pills during her previous marriage?

If the marriage was consummated then observing ʿiddah is obligatory in all cases.
