Ruling on wearing two silver rings
Question 1: What do blessed Islamic scholars and Muftis state about the following issue: Can a man wear two silver rings? Moreover, what do blessed Islamic scholars say about making the person who is wearing two silver rings an imam and his act of leading Salah? If it is not permissible, then what is the ruling on offering Salah led by such an Imam? Questioner: Muhammad Arsalan (Orangi Town, Karachi)
Answer:
بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ
It is permissible for a man to wear one silver ring only. The ring must weigh less than 4.5 Masha [approx. 4.365 g] and it must have a stone. To wear two rings or more than one ring even if they are all made of silver and their combined weight is less than 4.5 Masha is not permissible. The person who wears more than one ring is Faasiq-e-Mu’lin [one who publicly commits sins]. To make him an Imam is impermissible and a sin and it is compulsory to perform Salah again correctly that has been led by such a person. It is also compulsory to make repentance.

Will the Fard Hajj of the one performing Hajj-e-Badal [Hajj on behalf of someone] be considered to be performed or not?
Question 2: What do blessed Islamic scholars and Muftis state about the following issue: Is the Fard Hajj of the one performing Hajj-e-Badal considered to be performed, or will he have to perform Hajj again when he fulfils the conditions for Hajj?
Answer:
بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ
The Fard Hajj of the one who is performing Hajj-e-Badal is not considered to be performed but rather, the Hajj of the person on whose behalf Hajj-e-Badal is being performed will be considered to be performed. Furthermore, the ruling should also be remembered: It is Makruh-e-Tahreemi and impermissible to send such a person for [performing] Hajj-e-Badal for whom Hajj has already become Fard. The ruling says that instead of performing Hajj-e-Badal on behalf of another person, such a person should perform his own Fard Hajj. Therefore, it is better to send such a person to perform Hajj-e-Badal who has already performed his own Fard Hajj. It is also permissible to send such a person for whom Hajj has not yet become Fard. However, when such a person is financially able (to afford Hajj) and fulfils the relevant conditions for Hajj, Hajj will become Fard for him.

Can Muqtadi[1] say the Takbeers of the funeral Salah?
Question 3: What do blessed Islamic scholars and Muftis say about the following issue: Is it also necessary for the Muqtadi to say the Takbeers of the funeral Salah? Questioner: Ahmad Raza (Saddar, Karachi)
Answer:
بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ
Of course! It is also necessary for the Muqtadi to say the four Takbeers of the funeral Salah as these Takbeers are the fundamentals of the funeral Salah, and the funeral Salah will not be considered valid if its fundamentals are not performed. Moreover, each Takbeer is a substitute for a Rak’at; just as a Salah consisting of Rak’aat becomes invalid by missing a Rak’at, similarly, the funeral Salah will become invalid by missing a Takbeer. وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ وَ رَسُوْلُہٗ اَعْلَم صلَّی اللہ علیہ واٰلہٖ وسلَّم

When will damage to a sacrificial animal’s horn be considered a defect?
Question 4: What do blessed Islamic scholars and Muftis state about the following issue: I have intention to buy an animal, but its horn is broken. When I asked its owner about it, he told me that when one horn broke, he also removed the other one. Can such an animal be sacrificed? The animal has no visible marks upon its head and nor does it have any kind of wound on its head. Please give us guidance.
Answer:
بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ
In the case mentioned above, the Qurbani of such an animal is permissible. A broken horn will only be considered a defect when it is broken from its root and the wound has not healed either. Therefore, if the horn of an animal is broken from the root, but the wound has healed, it can be sacrificed because the defect which was preventing it from being slaughtered for Qurbani is no longer found, therefore, its Qurbani will be valid. وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ وَ رَسُوْلُہٗ اَعْلَم صلَّی اللہ علیہ واٰلہٖ وسلَّم
