Answer:
Release wind in 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.

Sahih Al-Bukhari
Hadith 1.139 Narrated by Abbas bin
Tamim
My uncle asked
Allah's Messenger (saws) about a person who imagined to have passed wind during
the prayer. Allah' s Messenger (saws)
replied: "He should not leave his prayers unless he hears sound or smells
something."
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 310 Narrated by Abu Hurayrah
Allah's Messenger (saws) said: “No ablution is necessary except in the case
of sound (of wind), or the foul smell (of wind).”
From the moment one raises their hand and declares the
‘takbeer’ to signal the start of one’s prayer until the time one declares the
two ‘tasleems’ to signal the end of prayer, one will be considered in the state
of prayer. If one simply has a doubt
that one might have passed wind, one should not act on one’s doubt but rather
continue their prayer.
If one is absolutely convinced that one has released wind
while in prayer, they should not wait to finish their rakah, but one should
immediately leave the ranks of congregation, re-do their wudu, and join the
congregation again to re-start their prayer from the very beginning.
Your Question: when
the salah finishes i have noticed people (from
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 5.612 Narrated by Abu Musa
….. Then Prophet (saws) asked for water,
performed ablution and then raised hands, saying, "O Allah!
Forgive 'Ubaid, Abu Amir." At
that time I saw the whiteness of the Prophet's armpits.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 2.807 Narrated by Salim
Ibn 'Umar used to do Rami of the
Jamrat-ud-Dunya (the Jamra near to the Khaif mosque) with seven small stones
and used to recite Takbir on throwing every pebble. He then would go ahead till
he reached the level ground where he would stand facing the Qibla for a long
time to invoke (Allah) while raising his hands (during the
invocations). Then he would do Rami of the Jamrat-ul-Wusta (middle Jamra) and
then he would go to the left towards the middle ground, where he would stand
facing the Qibla. He would remain standing there for a long period to invoke
(Allah) while raising his hands, and would stand there for a long
period. Then he would do Rami of the Jamrat-ul-Aqaba from the middle of the
valley, but he would not stay by it, and then he would leave and say, "I
saw the Prophet (saws) doing like this."
The raising of one’s hands when making supplications
(individually) to the Lord Most Gracious is amongst the etiquettes of making
supplications as taught by the Messenger of Allah (saws); and there is enough
and ample evidence in the authentic and established Sunnah to support the
act. When the Messenger of Allah (saws)
sought to make his individual supplications to his Lord Most Gracious, at times
he (saws) would raise his hands above his shoulders, with the palms of his
hands facing inwards….and there is also evidence to the fact that at times, the
Messenger of Allah (saws) would make his supplications without raising his
hands.
Salman reported
that the Prophet (saws), said, "Your Lord, the Blessed and the Exalted
One, is Modest and Generous, and He loathes to turn away His servant
empty-handed when he raises his hands to Him in supplication."
Narrated by Ahmad and Ibn Hibban.
There is absolutely no harm if an individual wishes to
raise their hands after their prayers and make as many supplications as one
wills unto their Lord, regardless of the language of one’s supplications.
Your Question: …..or
when are we supposed to make duaá?
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah
Baqarah verse 186:
And if My
servants ask you, O Prophet, concerning
Me, tell them that I am quite near to
them. I hear and answer the prayer of the suppliant, whenever he calls on
Me. So let them respond to My
call and believe in Me. (Convey this to
them), perhaps they may be guided aright!
Nu'man b. Bashir reported that the Prophet
(saws), said, "Verily supplication is worship."
Narrated by Ahmad and Sunan.
Abu Hurairah reported, "The Prophet
(saws) said, "Nothing is more dear to Allah than one's supplication to
Him.''
Narrated by Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah.
Abdallah b. 'Umar reported that the Prophet
(saws) said, "Hearts are like vessels, some more attentive and capacious
than others. When you supplicate Allah you should be certain of being answered,
and know that Allah does not answer a supplication that comes from a careless
and inattentive heart."
Narrated by Ahmad
Allah Subhanah has Promised to hear and respond to every
supplication whenever one calls unto their Lord Most Gracious, Most
Bounteous….thus one may make supplications unto their Lord whenever they wish
and please.
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 2257 Narrated by Abu Sa'id al-Khudri
The Prophet (saws) said, "Any Muslim who
makes a supplication containing nothing which is sinful or which involves
breaking ties of relationship will be given for it by Allah one of three
things: He will give him swift answer, or store it up for him in the next
world, or turn away from him an equivalent amount of evil." Those who heard it said they would then
make many supplications and the Prophet (saws) replied that Allah was more
ready to answer than they were to ask!
Your Question: my
aunt expired 3 months back in
Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 2.371 Narrated by Zainab bint Abi Salama
I went to Um Habiba (r.a.), the wife of
Prophet (saws), who said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah (saws) saying,
'It is not legal for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn
for any dead person for more than three days except for her husband, (for whom
she should mourn) for four months and ten days'."
It is not lawful for a believer, man or woman, to mourn a
deceased loved one for more than three days, except in the case of a widow
whose husband had expired, for her prescribed mourning period in Shariah is
four months and ten days.
If your aunt expired three months ago, the period of her
mourning is long over….and it would not be lawful for the loved ones to mourn
her death for more than three days. Your
cousin should abstain from mourning the deceased after three days, and it would
only be akin to piety, righteousness, obedience and submission in the Sight of
Allah, and closest to the Sunnah for him to celebrate Eid just as he would have
done normally without absolutely any diminish whatsoever.
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.
