Answer

1. While some ulama are of the opinion that these are not classified as pictures, the vast Majority of Ulama hold the view that they are in fact pictures and are thus prohibited. This is the more cautious view to adopt.

2. If you missed a Fajr Salah, then you should make qadha of it, by reading it. There is no other kafara. Yes, you should make istighfaar (seek forgiveness) from Allah and make a firm determination to be punctual on salah in the future.

3. Singing poetry is permissible with the following conditions: A. The singer musn't be a professional singer, faasiq, woman or beardless youth.
B.The contents mustn't be against Shariah.
C.Musical instruments cannot be used. (Aap ker massail Vol.7 Pg.346)

4. A ma'zoor is a person who is excused from the normal rules of taharah on the basis of an illness. This illness could be the perpetual dripping of urine, emission of gas, flowing of blood etc.

5. Music is not permissible, even for tabligh. As to whether those Sufis would be rewarded by Allah, that is for Him to judge and not for us. In his mercy he could reward them, looking at the sincerity of their intentions, however that up to Him alone.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Are photographs and taking pictures permissible?

“This is not permissible. Through you building a social media app where users will post pictures of animate objects, you will be involved in the sin of photography as well as inviting others to commit this grave sin.”
