Summarized Fatawaa
• Is the prayer of a woman who is led by an Imam via T.V. permissible?
Amongst the conditions for the validity of prayer is that both the Imam and those led by him must be in the same place. Thus, the prayer of the person who is being led by a televised Imam is invalid unless he/she was with him in the same mosque.
• What is the ruling on loudly sending prayers on the Prophet( PBUH ) after Athaan( call for prayer )?
Sending prayers on the Prophet after Athaan is a Sunnah for the Mou`zen(caller for prayer ) and the hearer. However, there is no harm in doing it loudly after the end of Athaan, but sometimes, it shouldn`t so that people wouldn`t think that it is an integral part of the Athaan.
• Should a person feel pleased, or have a virtuous vision after offering Istikhara(guidance prayer) in order to do what he/she had offered it for?
The result of the Istikhaarah is not necessarily that a person sees something (in his dream), or feels pleased, but the most important result of the Istikhaarah is whether a person is enabled to do a given matter or not.
• Is it permissible for a suitor to go out with his fiancé upon the conclusion of the marriage contract?
Upon the conclusion of the marriage contract, the woman becomes lawful for her husband. However, the customary practice should be observed in this regard since rights could be lost in case of divorce, or death.
