If you really repent and decide not to do it again, then you feel weak and commit the sin again, it does not mean Nifaaq (hypocrisy).

You need to strengthen your will power and your remembering and fearing Good, to be able to avoid the sin.

Food . Time . Ahl al-Bayt . Menstruation (Haidh)

According to the teachings of Ahlul Bayt, is it permissible to keep certain types of food or any item in storage for a long period of time, with the intention of waiting for its value to increase before selling it?

Najis . Time . Knowledge

If a person touches an object and does not know that it is Najis, and later finds out that it was Najis at the time of touching, what is the ruling on their hand and on the other things they touched before they gained this knowledge?

If he is sure that he touched the item which was in fact Najis, with a wet hand or the item was wet, then his hand became Najis even if he was unaware that it was Najis when he touched it. If he is not sure that his hand was wet or the item was wet when was touched by him, then his hand is Najis. Same also is the rule for other items touched by him later on whether he was sure that his hand was wet or the item itself was wet when it was touched by his Najis hand.

Time . Head . Salah (Prayers)

Is it permissible to glance at something else during prayer, like checking the time, without moving my head? I wanted to confirm which Rakat I was on. Does this invalidate my prayer, or is it still considered valid?

The prayer will not be invalid but it is always better to keep our intention concentrated in our Prayers during performing Salah.

Time . Slavery . Marriage . Woman . Polygamy . Qur'an

In the context of slavery, did female slaves automatically hold the same status as wives? If that is the case, what is the significance of marriage to slaves mentioned in the Qur'an? Why is marriage necessary if ownership implied a marital relationship?

Slavery rules were never started by Muslims but were already existing in different societies of the time when Islam came. Slavery rules are an outcome of wars. Islamic rules aimed to diminish slavery and finish it off. Slavery rules can not be taken as permanent rules for life but only in war and after war under many conditions.

Slave female from war between Nin Muslims against Muslims is not like a full wife of the owner who has the full rights of justice between her and other wife and inheritance from her husband. When the Muslims marries his owned female (Aman), she will then have all rights if the wife. With out marriage, she is called Sariyyah.

Dhuhr . Asr . Time . Dhikr . Salah (Prayers)

If I miss my Dhuhr and it is Asr time, should I sit for Dhikr after making up Dhuhr and then pray Asr, or do I do Dhikr after praying Asr. Does this apply for every missed prayer? Should I always do Dhikr after praying the current Salah if I missed one?

We must perform every obligatory Prayer on its time and never delay it till its time goes away. If you did not pray your Dhuhr Prayer, you must perform it before performing your ASR Prayer. Dhikr is highly recommended after every obligatory Prayer. Tasbeeh of Fatima (SA) is highly recommended after every Prayer and it is more beloved to Allah (SWT) than one thousand recommended Rak'ats, according to Hadeeth from Imam Ja'far Al-Sadiq (AS). Reciting Ayatul Kursi is also highly recommended after prayers.

Fajr . Time . Salah (Prayers) . Sin . Sleep

Is it sinful if I often miss prayers and wake up late, such as around Maghrib or Isha, after staying up for Fajr? When I do wake up, I find it hard to get out of bed quickly and tend to delay my prayers. How can I change this pattern of behaviour?

It is obligatory to perform every obligatory Prayer on its time and ir us sinful to deliberately miss any obligatory Prayer. We must make every possible arrangement to perform our obligatory Prayers on time and never miss any of them.

We need to organize our sleeping time to be able to get up and perform our obligatory Prayers.

We might use an alarm or request some one to wake us up for obligatory Prayers.
