    I fear my marriage took place with false pretexts. My mother-in-law would not allow her daughter to marry me if I was not a Sayyid. Upon research I realized that my family line could be Sayyid, I passed this information on to them, so they could agree to the marriage, and they did. After the marriage took place, I explained to my father-in-law that I am personally not convinced that I am Sayyid and would require further research. He responded that he does not mind this, and if I do find out that I am not a Sayyid, I should keep it to myself and not inform him. Is this marriage valid?

    The marriage is correct based on the said scenario. But if the wife herself married you on the basis that you are a Sayyid and it was not true, then she has the right to annul the marriage.

    How do I perform wudhu?

    You start by washing the face from the topmost part of the forehead where the hair begins to grow to the farthest end of the chin, and its breadth is what is covered between the thumb and the middle finger. The said area must be washed fully. Then, wash the arms by starting with the right arm from the elbow to the tips of the fingers. Then wash the left arm in the same way. Then, wipe the head using the wetness of the right hand. Then, wipe the feet from the tips of the toes to the ankles, starting with the right feet, then the left. It is sufficient to wipe normally and it is not mandatory to cover the mentioned wiped areas fully with wetness.

    If somebody has not offered the prayers within the prescribed time, must he offer the subsequent prayers within the prescribed times or the qadha prayers first? For example, if one misses Fajr prayer and the time has come for Dhuhr prayer, must he pray the qadha of Fajr first, or the Dhuhr first?

    It is not mandatory to offer the qadha prayer first.

    Is it permissible to keep our shoes on when we pray?
