Day Questions

If a man divorces his wife by saying, “If you want a divorce, here it is,” is this divorce valid? Do they require a marriage contract again to remarry?

Divorce has a number of conditions for it to be valid; one of them is the recitation of the divorce formula like “Anti Ṭāliq” which means “you are divorced”. The recitation should be in the presence of two ʿādil witnesses Another condition is that the woman should not be in her menstruation period. If these conditions are met, the divorce is correct. If one of them is not met the divorce has not taken place and the woman is still his wife, and therefore she does not require a new marriage contract in order to return to her marital relationship. She then can return to her husband without any doubt.

If one has missed several prayers, must he offer the qadha prayers in an order (first Fajr, then Dhuhr, Asr etc..) or can he offer them in any order he wishes?

For a person who missed a full days' prayer, it is recommended to make them up in the order that they were missed. For a person who missed Maghrib and Isha prayers, or missed Dhuhr and Asr prayers, the first prayer must be made up first.
