Q: Can a male tie his hair in a ponytail if it's shoulder length and it keeps going over his face?
A:
This is not permissible because it resembles the hair of a female, and
the hadith prohibits a male from imitating a female as mentioned in
Saheehul-Bukhari. If the hair is long, apply oil and comb it regularly
to keep it in place, or comb all the hair back, which resembles the
sunnah.
And Allah Ta'ala knows best.
| Q:
If you have not made salaah for a few years and are now very commited
for the past few months is there anything I should do to make up for it
as I feel guilty and want to do the right thing?
A: First
Taubah (repentance) should be made for previously neglecting Salaah.
Make a note of the amount of Salaah missed and begin fulfilling those
missed Salaah. Qadhaa (fulfilment of all the missed Salaah) is
compulsory. If you are unable to recall the exact amount of Salaah
missed, then an estimate will also be valid.
And Allah Ta'aala knows best.
