Question
1.Can one study for certification exam in jamat for 40 days or 4 months. 2.what must be done when we r praying 4 sunnah before zohar and jamat starts while we r still in 1st,2nd or 3rd rakath. 3.Can we shake our leg when any insect is biting. specially when we go in jamat in villages there r lot of mosquitos and they take advantage when we r in namaz. 4.Can we say brother with person name to a non-muslim friend only for sake of giving dawah.
Answer
1. In principle, it is permissible for one to study for exam while out in Jamaat. However, it is a proven fact that every deed, action and effort has its benefit when its guidelines are adhered to. Our advice is that you should adhere to the Amaal (actions) prescribed by the elders of Da'wah regarding the queried issue.
2. If a person has already commenced with the Sunnat-e-Muakkadah of Dhuhr and the Jamaat commences, then he should make Salaam after two Rakaats and join the Jamaat. And if he already commenced with the third Rakaat, then it is necessary to complete the full four Rakaats. (Bahishti Zewar vol.2 pg.170)
3. If an insect bites a person while offering Salaat, he is permitted to catch it and throw it aside. It is not good to kill it while in Salaat, but if it has not bitten one as yet, one should not even catch it because it is Makrooh it do so. (Bahishti Zewar pg.144)
4. It is permissible (Ma'ariful Qur'aan vol.2 pg.50)
