If you are thinking about Hajj in 2027, you are already in the window where it is decided. UK pilgrims book six to nine months ahead; the packages that are properly organised sell out first, and the ones still available in spring are usually avail...

Tucked into the last pages of a short Urdu treatise on ghusl — after the fiqh, after the method, after the list of spots people leave dry — there is a passage that changes the subject entirely. Peer Syed Khizar Hussain Chishti h...

Ask around a Manchester masjid on a Friday and you will get three different answers about the Jumu’ah ghusl. Some treat it as compulsory. Some think wudu is enough. Most have never been told why the disagreement exists. It exists beca...
