Question

Assalamu alaikum mufti sab. 2) Normally I do not miss any Namaz. Some times due to meetings or tight schedules situation may come that I may have to miss namaz(Alhamdulillah till now I have not come across that situation). I used feel tension about that. I used to think if I miss any namaz because of my job, My income thru that job will be haram. Some time though I did the namaz,I get doubts whether my namaz is valid or not. My mind forces me to do namaz again.If do not do namaz again, I used to think that I am giving importance to job than namaz which is haram.So my income may be haram. Leaving namaz is haram no..Because of job if I am forced to miss the namaz. That job I can not do no.. If I do that job, Will the income of that job becomes haram ? I always feel tension abt this? Is my thinking correct? Some time if I have tight work, I get less time for namaz ofcourse I can complete namaz once. While doing namaz I used to feel tense whether I can complete namaz or not. Because of this tension, I used to get doubts while doing namaz.My concentration goes. Some times I get bad thoughts. I used to repeat namaz. Because of this I used to get angry and feel frustrated. Whenever there is tight work,that day I used to feel tense whether my namaz will go smoothly or not?Some times I used to get doubts whether my ghusl/vadhoo valid or not? My mental situation is not that good.Please suggest me how to think about namaz.

1. It seems as though you are confused with the enormous amounts of doubts that cross your mind. In accordance to your question, Alhamdulillah, you can be rest assured that all your Wudhu and Salaat are all valid. Your income is Halaal. You merely have a doubt that if you occupy yourself with your job and in doing so you miss Salaat, then will your income be Halaal? This is a doubt. It never ever happened and Insha Allah, it will not happen, so don't bother about it. There is no need to repeat your Salaat again or to perform Dhuhr after Jummu'ah. Once you have performed Salaat, be rest assured that your Salaat is valid. As for the doubts that cross your mind regarding Wudhu, Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) has taught us a Du'aa that we should constantly make, 'O Allah! I seek protection from Walahaan.' (Mishkaat pg.47; Qadeemi). Walahaan is the name of the devil that causes these doubts to cross our minds.
You should also try to build, up confidence in yourself. Try to concentrate in your Salaat and have confidence that the Salaat is valid. 2. It will not be permissible for you to use the bathroom that has been appointed to other people. You are merely working for a company. The company is private and therefore, they have all the rights to reserve certain facilities for certain people. You should use the bathroom that has been appointed for you even though other people watch you perform Wudhu, etc. Build up confidence and do not feel shy.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
