Explanation

Fard Kifayah (Communal Obligation) is a duty that is obligatory on the Muslim community as a whole.

The obligation is fulfilled if a sufficient number of individuals within that community carry it out.

If enough people perform the act, the rest of the community is absolved of the duty.

A prime example is the Salat al-Janaza (funeral prayer).

Once a group of Muslims performs the funeral prayer for the deceased, the obligation is met for the entire community.

Explanation

Fajr prayer time begins at Subh Sadiq (true dawn), when light first appears on the horizon, and ends at sunrise.

 Indicators of Fajr Time:

True Dawn (Al-Fajr Al-Sadiq):

• A horizontal, widespread glow on the horizon that grows brighter.

False Dawn (Al-Fajr Al-Kadhib):

• A vertical, fleeting light that appears before true dawn and is followed by darkness, which is not the start of Fajr time. 

Explanation

The Prophet (peace be upon him) stayed at Abu Ayub's house for about seven months

until the Prophet's Mosque was built on the open space where his camel had stopped.

The camel stopped at the house of Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, a member of the Banu Najjar, who was regarded as the best tribe of Medina.

Abu Ayyub was born in Medina, Hejaz as Khalid bin Zayd to a Najjar family of the Banu Khazraj.
