    Can a supplication be recited in the ruku or prostration of an obligatory or recommended prayer?

    It is permissible to recite any supplication. It has been recommended in some narrations to recite the salawat after the obligatory recitation of the prostration and the bowing.

    Is it permissible for a believer to propagate the religion to non-Muslims, but of course, not in a forceful or annoying manner?

    It is recommended to spread the truth, and Almighty Allah will give great rewards to those who do such noble acts. It is reported that the Prophet said to Imam Ali (peace be upon them): “If Allah, through you, guides a single person, it is better for you than all what the Sun shines on.”

    A person was eating dark chocolate before sleeping. Upon waking up for Fajr in the month of Ramadan, and before brushing his teeth, he spat a few times and noticed bits of brown and black and generally brown spit. He is not certain if the spit was mixed with leftover residue, or if they were bits of leftover chocolate. Taking into account the fact that before spitting he had swallowed a few times, what is the status of his fast?

    The fast is correct, and one does not need to pay attention to such doubts in the said case.

    Does ghusl have to be performed when one touches someone else in the state of janabah without being in the state of janabah himself?

    No, touching somebody in the state of janabah is not a cause for janabah. One has to perform ghusl of janabah due to either sexual intercourse or release of semen, and not for any other reason.
