Day Questions

If I enter the state of Janabah through ejaculation in my sleep, and there is very little time left for the Fajr prayer, what should I do? What if there is a difficulty in performing the ghusl at that time?

If the time is sufficient to perform ghusl but the ghusl would cause harm to the body, then it is obligatory to switch to the tayammum. If the time is not sufficient to perform the ghusl and the ghusl would not harm the body, tayammum is not obligatory. One can perform the ghusl even if this leads to offering the prayer outside designated time of the prayer.

What is meant by the term "Adalah"?

Adalah – as a condition in the imam of the congregational prayer and in the witness – is a level of fearing Almighty Allah that leads to avoiding the committing of major sins. Committing small sins without insistence does not affect it. Adalah – as a condition in the marja – is a high level of God-fearing which leads the person to refraining from disobeying the religious laws and committing sins – whether the sins are small or major. If on the rare occasion he commits a sin, he would rush to repent to Almighty Allah and seek his forgiveness. A person who holds 'adālah is called "adil".

Can we offer the daily nawafil (supererogatory) prayers in congregation?

Offering the daily supererogatory prayers in congregation is not legislated in the Sharia.

I am traveling due to my Hawza studies eight times a month and staying in a dormitory that the Hawza provides for students. Can I consider this place as a home?

Such a place is not considered as a home for you in this scenario. You are required to shorten your prayers there.
