The Adhan is not said before the prayer time. The Adhan is said in a slow speed and Iqamah is said in fast speed. Adhan should be given in standing position and in a high place. It is preferable to put your forefingers in your ears when giving Adhan. It is needed to face the Qiblah. During Adhan of Fajr, add the phrase - As Salatu Khayrun Min an Nawm.

Wet dreams When a man enters a woman. After her menstrual cycle is over. After one’s death. What is Tayammum? When there is a scarcity of water or absence of water, we wash ourselves without water with pure sand . Tayammum is done for both minor and major impurity. How does one do Tayammum?

Categories of water: Tahoor fluid - natural water - it is pue in itself and can purify other things. Taahir fluid - it is pure in itself but does not purify other things. Najas fluid - it is impure in itself which implies that it cannot purify anything. We get a detailed explanation of the three types of water from the Shaykh and deserves a fair listen.

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi divulges important details on the Fiqh of Salah in its entirety. First and foremost is discussed the obligatory nature of Salah and how it is a non exception of anybody to perform Salah except that of a menstruating woman. Next, the Shaykh moves on to shed ample light on the different pointers of Salah: The Fiqh of Adhan and the Iqamah rules. Preconditions of Salah - Wudu necessity, performing prayers at the correct timings, covering up of the Awrah as is stated for man and woman,absence of any Najis , facing the Qiblah, intention made for that particular prayer. Timings of Salah Arkan of Salah - Stand if capable of doing so, the beginning Takbir of Allahu Akbar, recitation of the Fatihah, Rukoo, Qiyam, Sajdah, the space between two prostrations, performance of Salah in calmness, the last Tashahhud, the first Tasleem, conduction of the Arkaan in its proper order. Wajibat of Salah. Sunnah of Salah. Factors which make Salah null and void.

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi touches base on the science of Fiqh. The concept of Aam and Khas related to Qur'an and Sunnah is explained explicitly citing numerous examples. The point is that there is no contradiction between the two. Mutlaq and Muqayyad - This bears close resemblance to the concepts of Aam and Khas. Listen to the various examples to obtain a clear understanding. Mantuq and Mafhoom - Mafhoom is the opposite of Mantuq. Examples are given aplenty. Mafhoom is only taken when it does not contradict the Fiqh. Haqiqi and Majazi -  when a word is used in a primary sense, it is called haqiqi and when it is used in metaphorical sense, it is called majazi. Allah’s attributes and names are all haqiqi.

Those things that are important and make it easy to live but not absolutely essential. Perfection of religion of Islam.
