Day Questions

Is the act of emulation (taqlīd) obligatory? If yes, then kindly give me a reference from the Quran.

Taqlīd is an obligation based on intellect. Muslims are required to implement the laws of the Islamic religion, and they cannot be known in details and in a correct way except by referring to the people of expertise, who are the religious scholars, and relying on them in their findings that they concluded by research and study. The proof of this concept from the Holy Quran is when Almighty Allah said: “And the believers should not all go out to fight. Of every troop of them, a party only should go forth, that they (who are left behind) may gain sound knowledge in religion, and that they may warn their folk when they return to them, so that they may beware.”(Quran, 122:9).

Is it permissible to eat a steak that isn't well done, but is medium cooked?

It is permissible to do so, but it is disliked to eat uncooked meat.

Is it permissible to brush one’s teeth using toothpaste, and rinse one’s mouth with mouthwash, whilst fasting? Also, if one’s teeth bleed due to brushing, does this invalidate the fast?

It is permissible to do so but we warn from swallowing, as this breaks the fast even if the amount was little. It does not invalidate the fast if the teeth bleed while brushing.

Is it permissible for me to accept payment for a dua that I did for someone?

Yes, it is permissible, but it is better if the payment is given and taken as a gift.
