Summarized Fatawaa

• How should a person who is afflicted with continued major ritual impurity(incontinence of urine, bleeding outside the monthly period) perform ablution ?
Such a person should make ablution for every prayer after its due time and after removing impurities from their body and outfit, and should place a fresh diaper whenever needed so as for the impurity not to spread out. They should also perform prayer immediately even if incontinence of urine continued, and should repeat the aforementioned for every obligatory prayer, then perform optional prayer as much as they want.

• Is it permissible for a person who broke fasting in Ramadhaan because of being sick to pay a ransom?
If there is hope for him/her to be cured, then he would be required to make up for the missed fasting days when he/she recovers, and no ransom is due on him/her. If his/her disease is incurable, then he/she would be required to pay a ransom for each missed fasting day, which is (600) grams of wheat, or rice.

• When is Istikharah (guidance prayer)Du`a offered, before Tasleem(saying asalamu alikum warahmatu allah wa barakatuh to end the prayer), or after it?
It is offered after Tasleem.

• What is the ruling on a person who isn`t able to fast due to old age, or an incurable disease ?
Paying the ransom is due on such a person, and that is giving a Mod(600 grams) of wheat, or rice, or the price of that amount to a needy Muslim for each missed fasting day.
