If he/she touches it in night, Ghusl-e-Masse-Mayyit should be done before morning prayer. If because of unbearable cold, one is unable to do this Ghusl, Tayammum should be done in its place. Q69: Can Friday and Idd prayers be prayed individually? A. Idd prayer, yes, Friday prayer, No. Moreover, Friday prayer is not even necessary in the "Ghaibat of Imam (A.S.)". Q70: What are the qualifications of a peshnamaz? A. He must be (a) Ithna-Asheri, (b) Sane, (c) Legitimately born, (d) He must be 'Adil'.

It means that he does not commit big sins even unintentionally; and if he commits any small sin (not intentionally) he repents at once and does not repeat it. (e) He must have correct pronunciation of Arabic words.

(f) He must be a man (if he is leading in a prayer attended by men), and (g) He must not be praying sitting (if the people behind him are praying standing); also (h) he must know the necessary 'Masail' of Taharat and prayers Q71: Can an Ithna-Asheri pray in a Sunni mosque (a) individually (b) with Jamaat led by a Sunni? A. (a) Yes. (b)The Sunni shariat is not strict about the qualifications of a 'Peshnamaz'. Therefore, they often pray behind a Peshnamaz who is not 'Adil'.

Therefore, you should avoid praying with them. If, however, you have to join their Jamaat prayer, join but pray your whole Namaz with 'Furada' Niyyet. Thus you will sit and stand with the Jamaat, but pray your own Namaz. Q72: If there is no Ithna-Asheri mosque in a town can the Friday prayer be prayed in a Jamaat led by a Sunni? A. Already explained in the Answer of Question 71.

Q73: In July, my cousin and I went to the gathering of 'Federation of Students' Islamic Society of England and Ireland (FOSIS). We prayed Jamaat namaaz. Now, the Imam was a Sunni (as majority were sunn is); We prayed behind him. My cousin and I had already prayed (Namaz) in our rooms and then we went and prayed the Jamat Namaz. Was it alright what we did? Do we have to have a special Niyyat if we pray Sunni Jamaat Namaaz? A.

Of course, if you had to pray in the Jamaat to avoid social Embarrassment it was all right; but that Namaaz of yours behind a non-lthna-Asheri Peshnamaz was not a Namaaz at all. It was good that you had already prayed in your room. Q 74: If, in a prayer, we don't keep 'mohr' (although we have it, without any fear), is our prayer void? If I don't have 'mohr' on what can I prostrate? A.
