Answer:
Kunda prayer
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Dear and beloved Sister in Islam, to the best of our
knowledge there is absolutely no mention of any rite or ritual called the
‘kunda niyaaz’ in the authentic and established Sunnah of the Messenger of
Allah (saws); nor is there any evidence that the noble companions or his noble
family ever performed or attended such a ritual.
And if any rite or ritual in Islam is not specifically
endorsed by the Messenger of Allah (saws) then without an iota of a doubt, it
can be nothing but a ‘bida’ and innovation; and every single innovation in the
pure and perfect deen of Islam is an error and a sin in the Sight of Allah
Subhanah.
Sahih Muslim Hadith 1885 Narrated by Jabir ibn Abdullah
That the Prophet of Allah (saws) said in a
sermon: “The best speech is that which
is embodied in the Book of Allah, the Al Quran;
and the best guidance is the guidance given by me, Mohamed (saws). The most evil affairs are the
innovations (bida), and every innovation (bida) is an error.”
Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 4515 Narrated by Ali ibn AbuTalib
That the Prophet of Allah (saws) said: “If
anyone introduces an innovation (bida in religion), he will be responsible for it. If anyone introduces an innovation (bida) or
gives shelter to a man who introduces an innovation (bida), he is cursed
by Allah, by His Angels, and by all the people!”
Your Question: also
i want to know is wearin gold in leg forbidden?
Sunan of Abu-Dawood
Hadith 4046 Narrated by Ali ibn AbuTalib
The Prophet of
Allah (saws) took silk and held it in his right hand, and took gold and held it in his left
hand, and said: “both of these are
prohibited to the males of my community.”
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith
808 Narrated by Abu Musa Ash'ari
The Prophet (saws)
said: ‘Wearing silk and gold has been made unlawful for the males of my Ummah
and lawful for their females.’
The Messenger of Allah (saws) strictly forbade the
believing men to wear gold on any part of their bodies; but it is absolutely
lawful for a believing woman to wear gold on any part of her body she wishes,
including her legs, if she wishes to do so.
There is absolutely nothing in Shariah which prohibits or
restricts a believing woman from wearing gold on her legs, if she wishes to do
so.
Your Question: also
is it sin if we skip our farz namaz? what is its punishment?
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 4 Surah
Nisaa verse 103:
Indeed the Salaat is a prescribed duty that
should be performed by the believers at (their) appointed times.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah
Baqarah verses 45-46:
45 Nay seek (Allah's) help with patient perseverance and ‘salaah’: it
is indeed hard except to those who bring a lowly spirit.
46 Who bear in mind the certainty that they are to meet their Lord and
that they are to return to Him.
The Prophet (saws) said, "The head of
the matter is Islam, its pillar is the prayer, and the top of its hump is Jihad
in the Way of Allah."
Jabir reports that the Prophet (saws) said, "Between
a person and disbelief is discarding prayer."
Related by Ahmad, Muslim, Abu Dawud,
at-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah.
Abdullah ibn 'Amr ibn al-'Aas reported that
the Prophet (saws) one day mentioned the prayer and said, "Whoever guards
and observes his prayer, they (his prayers) will be a light and a proof and a
savior for him on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever does not guard and
obvserve them, they will not be a light or a proof or a savior for him. On the
Day of Resurrection, he will be with Qarun, Fir'aun, Haman and Ubayy ibn
Khalf."
Related by Ahmad, at-Tabarani and Ibn Hibban.
A man came to the Prophet (saws) and said “ O
Prophet of Allah (saws), what is the
act or deed most loved by Allah?”
The Prophet (saws) replied: “To pray ones prayers on time.”
The man asked further: “What (deed or act most loved by Allah)
next?”
The Prophet (saws) replied: “Obedience to ones parents.”
The man asked further: “What (deed or act most loved by Allah)
next?”
The Prophet (saws) replied: “Jihaad in the
Way of Allah.”

Intentionally missing an obligatory prayer is not even
given as an option in the deen of Islam!
If one accidentally or unintentionally misses one’s prayer through sleep
or forgetfulness, one should pray it as soon as one wakes up or remembers
it.
One should strive as hard as one can to make intention to
offer one’s obligatory prayers on their appointed times, and if Allah forbid,
one misses a prayer, then the absolute least one can do is expiate and atone
for that lapse by praying it ‘qada’ in the sincere fear and hope that the Lord
Most High will accept it.
Whoever sleeps through or has forgotten to
pray a certain prayer should pray it when he wakes up or remembers the prayer. Abu Qatadah related that sleeping through the
prayer time was mentioned to the Prophet (saws) and he said, "There is no
negligence in sleep, but negligence occurs while one is awake. If one of you
forgets a prayer or sleeps through its time, then he should pray it when he
remembers it."
Related by an-Nasa'i and at-Tirmidhi.
Anas related that the Prophet (saws) said,
"Whoever forgets a prayer should pray it when he remembers it, and
there is no expiation for it save that."

One cannot over-emphasize the importance or significance
of the prescribed five obligatory prayers in Islam; so much so that the
Messenger of Allah (saws) included them amongst the five pillars of Islam and
declared that the thing that differentiates between belief and disbelief is
prayer! Intentionally missing one’s
obligatory prayers is not even an option in Islam.
Your Question: also
i know somebody who is in a bad marriage n wants khula. what are its procedure?
If a believing sister is involved in a bad marriage and
has made up her mind to seek freedom through divorce, the easiest way would be
to request her husband to pronounce a divorce on her. If the husband accedes to her request and
pronounces a divorce, all she has to do is observe the ‘iddah’ or waiting period
of divorce which is three menstruation periods, and after that a divorce would
be established and she would be free from her marriage.
If the husband, for any reason, does not accede to her
request to pronounce a divorce, the wife must initiate a divorce proceeding in
a Shariah Court of Law and explain to the Shariah Judge the reasons she seeks
divorce from her husband. The Judge will
then summon the husband and ask him to pronounce a divorce and free his wife;
and if the husband refuses to pronounce the divorce and free his wife, the
Shariah Judge has the right to declare a divorce between the couple.
If the husband pronounces a divorce, he has absolutely no
right to demand that the wife pay back the ‘mehr’ he paid her at the time of
marriage; but if the woman initiates the divorce in a Shariah Court, the
husband has the right to demand that the wife pay back the ‘mehr’ he paid her
at the time of marriage.
Your Question: also
this person has developed feelings for another person who is recently excepted
islam on her insistence. i feel its wrong as she is still married. how should i
explain her this?
Amongst the greatest sins in the Sight of Allah Subhanah
is that one who is married involves themselves in an extra-marital affair! You should guide your friend to fear Allah
and not even come near His declared and prescribed boundaries; for an act of
infidelity does indeed ignite and invite the Wrath and Anger of Allah Subhanah
in this world and the Hereafter.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
