Fiqh — practical knowledge for daily life
Wudu, salah, siyam, and the everyday rulings of a Muslim. The athari position, presented with a brief acknowledgement where other madhahib differ on specific points.
How we approach Fiqh
Practical, age-appropriate, and tied to daily life. No advanced mas'ala work at this stage.
How to make wudu (in the right order, with the right intentions). The actions of salah (standing, bowing, prostrating, sitting). What breaks wudu. Memorise the tashahhud.
The five daily prayers with their correct number of rak'at. The conditions of salah (taharah, covering the awrah, facing the qiblah, time). The prayer of the morning and evening.
Fasting in Ramadan, zakat (concept level), the fiqh of family life, and the fiqh of food and drink. Where the athari position differs from other madhahib, explained with respect.
We teach the athari position as our practice. Where other madhahib hold a different view on a matter that affects daily life (e.g., the position of the hands in prayer, the method of wudu), we state the difference briefly: "Other madhahib do X, and both are valid."
