Day Questions

If I want to enter into a temporary marriage with a Muslim woman who does not really practise Islam, can I do so?

It is permissible to conduct temporary marriage with a Muslim woman if she understands the relationship as marriage. If she was divorced or widowed, then marrying her and consummating the marriage is permissible without the permission of her guardian. If she was virgin then marrying her without the permission of the guardian is permissible but consummating the marriage is not.

What is the end time for performing the morning nawafil prayer?

The designated time for the supererogatory prayer of Fajr begins at the start of the last sixth of the night, until the rising of the redness in the east. Then once the redness rises, and one did not offer this prayer, it is preferred to delay it till after the obligatory Fajr prayer.

If someone has a bandage on his wound, how can he perform wudhu? Can tayammum be performed instead?

If the bandaging is tahir and its size was usual for the wound, then it is sufficient in the correctness of wudhu and ghusl to wipe over it. One cannot perform tayammum in this case.

I offered the prayer in an usurped place without knowing that it is actually usurped. Is my prayer valid?

Yes, it is valid provided that other conditions of the prayer are fulfilled, such as the intention of seeking closeness to Almighty Allah.
