Please let me know how many minutes prior to Fajar, Tahajud time exists
Question
1. I Would like to pray Tahajud ki Namaz just before Fajar Ki Namaz. So please let me know how many minutes prior to Fajar, Tahajud time exists. 2. On the way if we see graveyards & Dargah, what should we pray ?
Answer
1. Fajr time commences at true dawn. This is when a streak of whiteness
appears on the eastern horizon. The moment Fajr time commences, Tahajjud
time terminates. One may read Tahajjud at any time before the commencement
of Fajr time. It is best to perform the Tahajjud at the latter part of the
night. You will have to consult your local Ulama or Musjid to determine the
times of Fajr, etc.
2. When passing a graveyard or grave, you may say salaam unto the
inhabitants by reciting Masnoon Du'aas. You may also pray for their
forgiveness and recite something for their Isaal-e-Sawaab.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
