Day Questions

Is it permissible for the one who has been beaten to excuse the one who has beaten him, so that he does not have to pay the Diyah?

Yes, it is permissible to forgive the person who hit him and waive the Diyah, except if the victim is a child since there is no effect in his forgiveness till he reaches the age of adulthood.

Is it permissible to pray in a moving truck, airplane, train or boat?

With the fear of not being able to offer the prayer in the designated time in a place that is stationary, one can offer it in such moving means of transportation while observing the rules of Qiblah. Otherwise, offering the prayers this way is not sufficient.

I am western and converted to Islam, my parents are not Muslims, and I am of illegitimate birth. Can I lead a congregational prayer?

If the sexual relations that lead to having a baby was based on a form of marriage - even if it was not Islamic, the child born from such a marriage will be considered to be from legitimate birth, and it is permissible for such a person to lead the congregational prayer. If the aforementioned relation of the parents was not based on such a marriage, then the child is not considered from legitimate birth and cannot lead the prayers.

In surah Maida ayah 117 it says: "I did not say to them aught save what Thou didst enjoin me with: That serve Allah, my Lord and your Lord, and I was a witness of them so long as I was among them, but when Thou didst cause me to die, Thou wert the watcher over them, and Thou art witness of all things." This is the speech of Hazrat Isa (as). In Islam we say that he did not die based on the statement of the Quran but how should we understand this sentance from the ayah: "but when Thou didst cause me to die"? Does it mean that he die afterall or what?

The term “Teweffaytani” that is mentioned in the verse does not mean death. It means finishing the time that Allah has assigned for his link to earth since after such time has elapsed, Almighty Allah raise His Prophet to the sky.
