yes it is if you think logically, not only for hanafi madhab but also for other madhabs. I ask a simple question 4 u: Did our prophet(saws) taught 4 different ways of salath? The obvious answer is NO, infact the way of performing salath was taught to Prophet Muhammad(saws) by angel Jibrael which means that it is something which has come from ALLAH. Hence there cannot be 4 different ways. We as present day Muslims should follow what is most authentic rather than blindly accepting everything from a particular scholar. And this is the only solution for the unity of Muslim ummah. May Allah give us knowledge which is fruitful for the Akhirah and keep away us from the knowledge which leads to fitnah.... Ameen

What is Makruh Tanzihi?
According to the Hanafi Madhhab, makruh tanzihi are those things or acts which are discouraged. There is reward for leaving them, but no punishment for engaging in them.
What are madhhabs?
A Madhhab (مذهب) is a school of thought within a sect in Islam. The point of a madhhab is to organize the principles under which jurisprudence will be conducted.In Sunni Islam, there are four main madhhabs: Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki, and Hanbali. Hanafi is typically considered to be the most liberal and Hanbali is typically considered to be the most conservative. All of these schools of thought are considered valid by people from other schools, although they may have disagreements over minor practices.In Shiite Islam, there are fundamental legal distinctions between the three major madhhabs, depending on how many Infallible Imams there are. These madhhabs are: Zaydi (Fiver), Ismaili (Sevener), and Ja'afari (Twelver). Unlike the Sunni Schools, there is far less mutual recognition between the Shiite schools.Smaller sects of Islam like Ibadis and Mu'tazilites lack internal disputes about schools of thought and maintain a unified school of thought.
Is it necessary to perform a ghusl when a disbeliever becomes a Muslim?
If one has washed oneself after becoming junub, it is mustahab [an act for which there is thawâb (blessing) and if omitted there is no sin] for one to make a ghusl for becoming a Muslim. If a disbeliever who is junub has a shower to wash the dirt, that person also gets out of the state of janâbat. For niyyat [intention] in ghusl is not fard in the Hanafî Madhhab. One is considered to have made a ghusl when one has a shower. However, if that person has not taken a shower after becoming junub, then it is fard to perform a ghusl when becoming a Muslim. (Ethics of Islam)
Which questions will be asked in the grave?
Nakir and Munkar, (Arabic: منكر و نكير‎) in Islamic eschatology, are angels who test the faith of the dead in their graves.[1]According to the Islam religion, after death, a person's soul passes through a stage called barzakh, where it exists in the grave (even if the person's body was destroyed, the soul will still rest in the earth near their place of death). [2] The questioning will begin when the funeral is over and the last person of the funeral congregation has stepped 70 steps away from the grave. Nakir and Munkar prop the deceased soul upright in the grave and ask three questions: "Who is your Lord? Who is your Prophet? What is your religion?". A righteous believer will respond correctly, saying that their Lord is Allah, that Muhammad is their prophet and that their religion is Islam. If the deceased answers correctly, the time spent awaiting the resurrection is pleasant. Those who do not answer as described above are chastised until the day of judgment. [3]Muslims believe that a person will correctly answer the questions not by remembering the answers before death (compare with the Egyptian Book of the Dead) but by their iman and deeds such as salah and shahadah (the Islamic profession of faith).
When are Muslim women supposed to cover their heads?
Women only have to wear the hijab when they have gotten through their 'puberty' process and are considered grown-ups. Before that, it is their choice and they do not have to wear it.The father, brother(s), uncle(s), grandfather(s), husband and any female can see the woman without any hijab. Cousins and any other stranger male cannot, however, see them without the hijab.Wearing a hijab doesn't only mean to cover your head but to also wear appropriate clothes in front of stranger males.answer:All parts of free women, except their palms and faces, including their wrists, outer parts of their hands, hanging parts of their hair and under their feet are awrat (and therefore they must be covered) during a namâz, according to the Hanafî Madhhab. There are also quite a number of valuable books saying that outer parts of hands are not awrat. According to them, it is permissible for women to perform namâz while outer parts of their hands up to wrists are bare.
Can nikah be done if pregnant?
In the name of Allah, most merciful, most Kind.There are differences of opinions in this matter if the women who is pregnant wants to marry the man that impregnated her. If she wants to marry a man other than the one who impregnated her, then this is not allowed by consensus until she has given birth to the child.When a woman married the man she committed zina with, Sheikh Muhammad al-Munajjid says:"With regard to istibra' (determining that the woman is not pregnant) or 'iddah, this is also a matter concerning which the fuqaha' differed. The Hanafis and Shaafa'is are of the view that it is not necessary. (And this is the more opinion)What we advise you to do is to do a new marriage contract, without telling the wali the real reason for it. That is in order to be on the safe side. But if it is not possible to do a new marriage contract without telling people of the haram relationship, then we hope that you do not have to do that, and your marriage remains as it is, based on the majority view that this marriage is valid"This opinion is also adopted by Sheikhul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah.With regards to the Hanbali and Maalki madhhab and their A'immah saying this type of nikah is invalid, then is is a weak opinion but good to stay on the safe side, because a woman who fornicates with a man may fornicate with another and attribute the child to the wrong man. But if one is sure of the attribution of the child, then a woman may marry the man she committed fornication with.And Allah knows best.
Why is salah important to Muslims?
It is one of the obligatory pillars for every religious Muslim. To me, personally I feel very happy when I stand for salah, I feel the change in my heart. I feel the presence of God that I have never felt before I start to practice Islam............................................................AnswerSince Âdam (alaihissalâm), there was namâz [ritual prayer] once a day in every religion. All that had been performed were brought together and were made fard [commanded] for us. Although performing namâz is not a pillar of îmân [belief], it is a pillar of îmân to believe that namâz is fard. "Namâz" means "duâ." The 'ibâdat that is commanded by the Sharî'at and which we all know was named "namâ." Performing the five daily prayers of namâz is fard-i 'ayn for every Muslim who has reached the age of puberty. That it is fard is openly stated in the Qur'ân and hadîths. Five daily prayers of namâz became a commandment on the Mi'râj night. The Mi'râj happened on the twenty-seventh night of the month of Rajab a year before the Hegira. Before the Mi'râj, only the morning and afternoon prayers were performed. A child must be ordered to perform namâz at the age of seven and should be beaten if it does not perform it at the age of ten. It is also necessary to teach other ibâdats to children at this age, to accustom them to doing them, and to prevent them from sins.For the purpose of showing the importance of fard namâz, Muhammad Rabhâmî (rahmatullahi alaih) wrote the Persian book Riyâd-un-nâsihîn, a collection from four hundred and forty-four books, in India in 853 A.H., in the twelfth chapter of the first section of the second part of which he said:"In the two fundamental books of Islam called Sahîhayn [Bukhârî and Muslim], Rasûlullah (sall-Allahu alaihi WA sallam) asked in a hadîth-i sherîf reported by Jâbir bin 'Abdullah (radiy-Allahu 'anh): "If there were a river in front of one's house and if he washed himself in this river five times every day, would there be any dirt left on him?" We [Jâbir ibn 'Abdullah and other Sahâbîs present there] said, "No, O Rasûlallah." The Prophet said, "Likewise, minor sins of those who perform the five daily prayers are forgiven." [Some ignorant people, upon hearing this hadîth, say, "Then, I will both perform namâz and amuse myself as I wish. My sins will be forgiven anyhow." This thought is not correct because a namâz that is performed observing its conditions and âdâb and is accepted will cancel sins. In fact, even if minor sins are forgiven, continuing to commit or insisting on minor sins will become grave sins. And insisting on committing grave sins will cause kufr (disbelief.)]Ibn Jawzî wrote in Tafsîr-i-Mugnî: "Abû Bakr-i Siddîq (radiy-Allahu 'anh) said that, when the time of a daily prayer of namâz comes, angels say, 'O the sons of Âdam, stand up! Extinguish the fire prepared to burn human beings by performing namâz.'" In a hadîth-i sherîf, it was said, "The difference between the Believer and the unbeliever is namâz," that is, the Believer performs namâz, and the unbeliever does not. Munâfiqs, however, sometimes perform it and sometimes do not. Munâfiqs will undergo very bitter torment in Hell. 'Abdullah ibn Abbâs (radiy-Allahu 'anh), the leader of mufassirs, said that he heard Rasûlullah say, "Those who do not perform namâz will find Allahu ta'âlâ angry on the Day of Resurrection."The imâms of hadîth unanimously said, "People who do not perform a namâz in its due time intentionally, that is, if they are not sorry for not performing a namâz while its due time is ending, will become kâfirs or will lose their îmân during their death. What will become of those who do not remember namâz or see namâz as a duty?" The Ahl as-Sunnat savants unanimously said, "Ibâdât are not a part of îmân." But there was not a unanimity concerning namâz. The fiqh imâms, Imâm Ahmed Ibn Hanbel, Is'hâq ibn Rahawayh, 'Abdullah ibn Mubârak, Ibrâhîm Nahâî, Hakem ibn Hutayba, Ayyûb Sahtiyânî, Dâwûd Tâî, Abû Bakr ibn Shayba and Zubeyr ibn Harb and many other great savants, said that one who does not perform a namâz intentionally becomes a kâfir. Then, O Muslim Brother, do not miss any namâz and do not be slack; perform it with love! If Allahu ta'âlâ punishes according to the ijtihâd of these savants on the Day of Judgement, what will you do?Tafsîr-i Mugnî says, "One of the superiors asked the devil what he should do to become damned like him. The devil was pleased and said, 'If you want to be like me, do not pay attention to namâz and take an oath on everything right or wrong, that is take an oath very much!' That person said, 'I will never neglect namâz and will not take any oath from now on. '" In the Hanbalî Madhhab, a Muslim who does not perform a namâz without an excuse will be put to death like a murtad [renegade], and his corpse will not be washed or shrouded, nor will his janâza namâz be performed. He will not be buried in Muslims' cemetery, and his grave will not be made distinguishable. He will be put in a hollow on the mountain. In the Shâfi'î Madhhab, one who persists in not performing namâz does not become a murtad, but the punishment will be death. That the Mâlikî Madhhab is the same as the Shâfi'î in this respect is written in Ibni 'Âbidîn and on the sixty-third page of the translation of Milal-nihâl. And in the Hanafî Madhhab, he is imprisoned until he begins namâz or beaten until bleeding. [However, he who attaches no importance to namâz or who does not know it as a duty will be a kâfir in all the four madhhabs. It is written in the subject of the afflictions incurred by the tongue in Al-hadîqa that he becomes a kâfir according to the Hanafî Madhhab, too, if he neglects namâz intentionally and does not think of performing its qadâ and does not fear that he will be tormented for this.] Allahu ta'âlâ did not order non-Muslims to perform namâz or to fast. They are not honored with the commandments of Allahu ta'âlâ. They are not punished for not performing namâz or for not fasting. They only deserve Hell, which is the punishment for kufr.In the book Zâd-ul-muqwîn, it is said: "Early savants wrote that those who do not do five things are deprived of five things:1- They who do not give the zakât of their property do not get any benefit from their property.2- In the land and earning of people who do not give their 'ushr, there is no abundance left.3- Health is absent in the body of a person who does not give alms.4- People who do not pray will not attain to their wishes.5- People who do not want to perform a namâz when itstime comes cannot say the Kalima-i shahâdat at their last breath. A person who does not perform namâz because of laziness although he believes that it is the first duty, is a fâsiq. He is not the peer of a sâliha [pious] girl, that is, he does not deserve and is not suitable for her." As it is seen, not performing the fard namâz causes one to die without îmân. Continuing to perform namâz causes the enlightenment of the heart and the attainment of endless bliss. Our Prophet (sall-Allahu alaihi WA sallam) declared, "Namâz is nûr," that is, it brightens the heart in the world and illuminates the Sirât in the next world." (Riyâd-un-nâsihîn)A hadîth-i sherîf, quoted in the book Qurratul'uyûn,declares, "If a person does not perform namâz though he has no good excuse, Allahu ta'âlâ will give him fifteen kinds of plague. Six of them will come in the world, three will come at the time of death, three will come in the grave, and three will come when rising from the grave. The six plagues in the world are:1- A person who does not perform namâz will not have barakat in his lifetime.2- He will not have the beauty, the lovableness peculiar to those who are loved by Allahu ta'âlâ.3- He will not be given thawâb for any good he does.4- His prayers (duâs) will not be accepted.5- No one will like him.6- Blessings that (other) Muslims invoked on him will do him no good.Kinds of torment he will suffer when dying are:1- He will expire in an abhorrent, unsightly, repugnant manner.2- He will die hungry.3- Much water as he may have, he will die with painfulthirst.Kinds of torment he will suffer in the grave are:1- The grave will squeeze him. His bones will intertwine.2- His grave will be filled with fire, which will scorch him day and night.3- Allahu ta'âlâ will send a huge serpent to his grave. It is not like terrestrial serpents. It will sting him at every prayer time each day. It will never leave him alone any moment.Kinds of torment he will suffer after rising are:1- Angels of torment that will drag him to Hell will never leave him alone.2- Allahu ta'âlâ will meet him with wrath.3- His account will be settled in a very vehement manner, and he will be flung into Hell."

Why is Salah very important to Muslims?
Salah, the formal five-times-a-day Islamic prayer, is one of the five pillars of Islam. It is also the criterion that distinguishes a Muslim from a non-Muslim. Non-Muslims offer supplications, fast, tithe, and perform pilgrimmages, but only a Muslims offers salat. If you see someone offering salat, you may be sure that s/he is Muslim.SALAT - formal prayerHow to Perform Ablutionhttp://English.islamway.com/flashpage.php?id=3&cat=1&file_name=ablution&width=782&height=438Download File Here: http://English.islamway.com/flashes/1/ablution.exehow to prayhttp://www.jannah.com/learn/flashprayer1.HTMLhttp://www.ummah.org.UK/software/cyber/This site gives you the words you need to say:http://www.islamway.com/English/images/prayer/contents.htmIf you are a beginner who needs to learn the basic steps of Prayer in Islam.(with sound - http://English.islamway.com/prayer/BegSound.htm)(w/o sound - http://English.islamway.com/prayer/BegNoSound.htm)If you want to learn prayers from A to Z including Sunnah actions.(with sound - http://English.islamway.com/prayer/AdvSound.htm)(w/o sound - http://English.islamway.com/prayer/AdvNoSound.htm)---This one gives you the times:http://www.solat.net/Find a mosque near you!http://www.islamcan.com/masjid/index.shtml---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------AnswerSince Âdam (alaihissalâm), there was namâz [ritual prayer] once a day in every religion.

The fiqh imâms, Imâm Ahmed Ibn Hanbel, Is'hâq ibn Rahawayh, 'Abdullah ibn Mubârak, Ibrâhîm Nahâî, Hakem ibn Hutayba, Ayyûb Sahtiyânî, Dâwûd Tâî, Abû Bakr ibn Shayba and Zubeyr ibn Harb and many other great savants, said that one who does not perform a namâz intentionally becomes a kâfir. Then, O Muslim Brother, do not miss any namâz and do not be slack; perform it with love! If Allahu ta'âlâ punishes according to the ijtihâd of these savants on the Day of Judgement, what will you do?Tafsîr-i Mugnî says, "One of the superiors asked the devil what he should do to become damned like him. The devil was pleased and said, 'If you want to be like me, do not pay attention to namâz and take an oath on everything right or wrong, that is take an oath very much!' That person said, 'I will never neglect namâz and will not take any oath from now on. '" In the Hanbalî Madhhab, a Muslim who does not perform a namâz without an excuse will be put to death like a murtad [renegade], and his corpse will not be washed or shrouded, nor will his janâza namâz be performed. He will not be buried in Muslims' cemetery, and his grave will not be made distinguishable. He will be put in a hollow on the mountain. In the Shâfi'î Madhhab, one who persists in not performing namâz does not become a murtad, but the punishment will be death. That the Mâlikî Madhhab is the same as the Shâfi'î in this respect is written in Ibni 'Âbidîn and on the sixty-third page of the translation of Milal-nihâl. And in the Hanafî Madhhab, he is imprisoned until he begins namâz or beaten until bleeding. [However, he who attaches no importance to namâz or who does not know it as a duty will be a kâfir in all the four madhhabs. It is written in the subject of the afflictions incurred by the tongue in Al-hadîqa that he becomes a kâfir according to the Hanafî Madhhab, too, if he neglects namâz intentionally and does not think of performing its qadâ and does not fear that he will be tormented for this.] Allahu ta'âlâ did not order non-Muslims to perform namâz or to fast. They are not honored with the commandments of Allahu ta'âlâ. They are not punished for not performing namâz or for not fasting. They only deserve Hell, which is the punishment for kufr.In the book Zâd-ul-muqwîn, it is said: "Early savants wrote that those who do not do five things are deprived of five things:1- They who do not give the zakât of their property do not get any benefit from their property.2- In the land and earning of people who do not give their 'ushr, there is no abundance left.3- Health is absent in the body of a person who does not give alms.4- People who do not pray will not attain to their wishes.5- People who do not want to perform a namâz when itstime comes cannot say the Kalima-i shahâdat at their last breath. A person who does not perform namâz because of laziness although he believes that it is the first duty, is a fâsiq. He is not the peer of a sâliha [pious] girl, that is, he does not deserve and is not suitable for her." As it is seen, not performing the fard namâz causes one to die without îmân. Continuing to perform namâz causes the enlightenment of the heart and the attainment of endless bliss. Our Prophet (sall-Allahu alaihi WA sallam) declared, "Namâz is nûr," that is, it brightens the heart in the world and illuminates the Sirât in the next world." (Riyâd-un-nâsihîn)A hadîth-i sherîf, quoted in the book Qurratul'uyûn,declares, "If a person does not perform namâz though he has no good excuse, Allahu ta'âlâ will give him fifteen kinds of plague. Six of them will come in the world, three will come at the time of death, three will come in the grave, and three will come when rising from the grave. The six plagues in the world are:1- A person who does not perform namâz will not have barakat in his lifetime.2- He will not have the beauty, the lovableness peculiar to those who are loved by Allahu ta'âlâ.3- He will not be given thawâb for any good he does.4- His prayers (duâs) will not be accepted.5- No one will like him.6- Blessings that (other) Muslims invoked on him will do him no good.Kinds of torment he will suffer when dying are:1- He will expire in an abhorrent, unsightly, repugnant manner.2- He will die hungry.3- Much water as he may have, he will die with painfulthirst.Kinds of torment he will suffer in the grave are:1- The grave will squeeze him. His bones will intertwine.2- His grave will be filled with fire, which will scorch him day and night.3- Allahu ta'âlâ will send a huge serpent to his grave. It is not like terrestrial serpents. It will sting him at every prayer time each day. It will never leave him alone any moment.Kinds of torment he will suffer after rising are:1- Angels of torment that will drag him to Hell will never leave him alone.2- Allahu ta'âlâ will meet him with wrath.3- His account will be settled in a very vehement manner, and he will be flung into Hell."
Who was ibn battuta?
Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Abdullah Al Lawati Al Tanji Ibn Battuta (Arabic: أبو عبد الله محمد ابن عبد الله اللواتي الطنجي بن بطوطة‎) (born February 24, 1304; year of death uncertain, possibly 1368 or 1377) was a Muslim Marinid Berber[1] scholar and jurisprudent from the Maliki Madhhab (a school of Fiqh, or Sunni Islamic law), and at times a Qadi or judge. However, he is best known as a traveler and explorer, whose account documents his travels and excursions over a period of almost thirty years, covering some 73,000 miles (117,000 km). These journeys covered almost the entirety of the known Islamic world and beyond, extending from North Africa, West Africa, Southern Europe and Eastern Europe in the West, to the Middle East, Indian subcontinent, Central Asia, Southeast Asia and China in the East, a distance readily surpassing that of his predecessors and his near-contemporary Marco Polo. At the instigation of the Sultan of Morocco, Abu Inan Faris, several years after his return, Ibn Battuta dictated an account of his journeys to a scholar named Ibn Juzayy, whom he had met while in Granada. This account, recorded by Ibn Juzayy and interspersed with the latter's own comments, is the primary source of information for his adventures. The title of this initial manuscript تحفة النظار في غرائب الأمصار وعجائب الأسفار may be translated as A Gift to Those Who Contemplate the Wonders of Cities and the Marvels of Travelling but is often simply referred to as the Rihla الرحلة, or "Journey". Whilst apparently fictional in places, the Rihla still gives as complete an account as exists of some parts of the world in the 14th century. Almost all that is known about Ibn Battuta's life comes from one source-Ibn Battuta himself. In some places, the things he claims he saw or did are probably fanciful, but in many others, there is no way to know whether he is reporting or storytelling. However, due to the complexity and thoroughness of his accounts, we are left to assume that his chronicles were in fact true. An impact crater on the moon, the Ibn Battuta crater, is named after him. A themed shopping mall in Dubai, the Ibn Battuta Mall, also bears his name, with some of his earlier research and inventions in displays scattered throughout its corridors.
What is the importance of sadaqa-al fitr?
Giving sadaqa al-fitr becomes wajib upon every Muslim who has property or money as much as the amount of nisab in addition to his or her indispensable belongings and debts. If he or she does not have property or money as much as the amount of nisab, it does not become wajib upon him or her to give sadaqa al-fitr.It is declared in hadith-i sharifs:(The fast of Ramadan remains suspended between the sky and the earth. It goes up when sadaqa al-fitr is given.)[Abu Hafs](Sadaqa al-fitr purifies a fasting person from the sins that he incurred because of his obnoxious utterances.)[Bayhaqi](Sadaqa al-fitr is a means of purification for your rich ones. If your poor ones also give it, Allahu ta'ala grants them a lot more than what they have given.) [Abu Dawud]According to the other madhahib, giving sadaqa al-fitr is fard (obligatory) upon a person who has a day's food. A hadith-i sharif says, "Everyone, young or old, rich or poor, must give sadaqa al-fitr" (Abu Dawud).Any person who does not meet the conditions specified by Islam to be considered rich can receive sadaqa al-fitr and zakat (obligatory alms). Giving sadaqa al-fitrbecomes wajib upon every Muslim who has property or money as much as the amount of nisab in addition to his or her indispensable belongings and debts. It is haram for such a person to receive sadaqa al-fitr or zakat. The property that is to be included into the calculation for sadaqa al-fitr does not necessarily have to be intended for trade, nor does one have to have had it for one year.Richness that is known by the public is different from richness defined by Islam. One who does have property or money as much as the amount of nisab is considered poor by Islam. If one who does not own a house or who lives in a rented house has money or gold or commercial property as much as the amount of nisab, one is considered rich by Islam. Such a person must pay zakat and is not permitted to receive zakat.Zakat is not paid for property that is not for trade, but income from such kinds of property is included into the calculation of nisab.Those who do not have money or property as much as the amount of nisab are considered poor. Such people can receive zakat. If those with minimum salaries have money or property as much as the amount of nisab after they deduct their debts, they are considered rich and must pay sadaqa al-fitr. [The amount of nisab is 96 grams of gold, or its money or commercial property equivalent.]Sadaqa al-fitr is given in the holy month of Ramadan. Though it is also permissible to give it before Ramadan or after the Eid, there will be more blessings if it is given before the Eid prayer. It cannot be given before Ramadan in the Shafi'i Madhhab, and it cannot be postponed until after the Eid, either. One who cannot fast because of a good excuse, such as illness, must pay the sadaqa al-fitr if one is rich.One cannot pay sadaqa al-fitr to one's parents, to any of one's grandfathers or grandmothers, to one's own children or grandchildren, to one's wife, or to a disbeliever. It is permissible to pay sadaqa al-fitr to one's poor daughter-in-law, son-in-law, mother-in-law, father-in-law, brother-in-law, or stepchild. It is a lot more rewarding to give sadaqa al-fitr to such relatives as one's paternal aunt, paternal uncle, maternal aunt, or maternal uncle. According to Imamayn (Imam-i Muhammad and Imam-i Abu Yusuf), a woman can give sadaqa al-fitr to her indebted and poor husband. (Mawkufat)The amount of sadaqa al-fitr to be paid does not vary from year to year. For sadaqa al-fitr, half a sa' of wheat or flour is given. Or one sa' of barley or dates or raisins is given. Half a sa' is a measure that equals 1750 grams circumspectly. One sa' equals 3500 grams. These amounts do not ever change until Doomsday. For sadaqa al-fitr, wheat or flour or barley or dates or raisins are given. Or it is also permissible to give their gold or silver equivalents. If it is difficult also to give wheat or flour or the other foodstuffs, one may give bread or corns of equal value.----------------------------------------to understand the answer better, please look at meanings of the Islamic words:fitra: alms (2 kg of wheat or silver of equal value) given after every Ramadan, the ninth month of Muslim calendar.wajib: (act, thing) never omitted by the Prophet, so almost as compulsory as fard and not to be omitted. Wajib al-wujud: Being whose existence is indispensable and nonexistence is impossible.nisab: minimum quantity of specified wealth which makes one liable to do some certain duties.madhhab: all of what a profound 'alim of (especially) Fiqh (usually one of the four-Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanbali) or iman (one of the two, namely Ash-ari, Maturidi) communicated.
