Question

Assalamu alaikum

Can we just taste the food for salt while fasting?

As it is Sunnah is to pray 4 rekat Tahajjud, can we pray 2 Rekat Tahajjud also?

 

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيْم

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

 

Answer:

It is makruh to taste the food while fasting, without any excuse.[1]

Yes, it is permissible to pray 2 rakaat Tahajjud. The minimum night prayer is 2 rakaat.[2]
