Is it permissible to pray in a room where there is a television that is on?
http://islamqa.info/en/ref/193559
Is it permissible to pray in a room when there is someone else in the same room who is watching television, if that person is watching it at a low volume and the program being shown does not contain anything but people who are dressed decently?
Praise be to Allah.
It is makrooh to pray in a place where the worshipper will be distracted from his prayer. And undoubtedly the television is one of the greatest distractions to people; if a man prays in a place where the television is on, it will undoubtedly distract him even if the volume is low.
Abu Dawood (2030) narrated that Safiyyah bint Shaybah said: I heard the Aslami woman saying: I said to 'Uthmaan: What did the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) say to you when he called you? He said: He said: "I forgot to tell you to cover up the two (ram's) horns, because there should not be anything in the room to distract the one who is praying." Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami', no. 2504.
At-Tabaraani narrated in al-Awsat (5246) that Abu Hurayrah said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "I have been forbidden to pray behind people who are talking or sleeping." Classed as hasan by al-Albaani in al-Irwa' (2/96). Also narrated by Abu Dawood (694) from the hadeeth of Ibn 'Abbaas as follows: "|Do not pray behind one who is sleeping or talking." Classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.
Al-Khattaabi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
With regard to praying behind people who are talking, it was regarded as makrooh by ash-Shaafa 'i and Ahmad. That is because they talked will distract the worshipper from his prayer. Ibn 'Umar would not pray behind a man who was talking except on Friday.
End quote from Ma 'aalim as-Sunan, 1/187
An-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
With regard to the garments or cloths on which there are images crosses or things that may cause distraction, it is makrooh to pray wearing them, facing towards them or on them.
End quote from al-Majmoo ', 3/180
The one who is praying in a place where this television is cannot be certain that it will not suddenly change from recitation of Qur'an to songs and music, especially if there is someone with whom who does not care about such things does not pay attention to respecting the fact that people are praying. The one who wants to pray should choose a place where nothing will distract him from his prayer, whether by means of noise, images or other things.
If he does pray in such a place, his prayer is valid. If it is in such a way that it will not distract him or affect his prayer, then there is nothing wrong with that and it is not makrooh.
But if it is in such a way that it will cause some distraction, his prayer is still valid but it is makrooh.

Is it permissible for her to get an invoice for medication from a pharmacy from which she did not get this medicine?
http://islamqa.info/en/ref/184445
I work in a government department and our medical costs are covered by this department; we have to bring an invoice for the cost of medical consultations from any doctor as well as invoices from any pharmacy showing the price of medicine, and the department will cover the cost of these invoices.
My questions are:
Sometimes the doctor who treats me prescribes medicine for me, some of which can be found in the pharmacy and some of it cannot, so we buy it from him, but he does not write me an invoice showing the price of these medicines.
Is it permissible for me to get an invoice from any pharmacy to show the price of this medicine, but showing the name of some other medicine that is in the prescription? On one occasion I went to the doctor and my sister was with me, and she had some problems, so she asked the doctor and he wrote a prescription for her. But when I asked him whether I should pay for this consultation, he refused. Is it permissible for her to submit it to the department in which my father works, because children get half of their medical costs covered by the department in which the father works?Praise be to Allah.
Firstly:
The employee should approach his work with an attitude of trustworthiness, dignity and honesty, and should avoid haraam earnings, lying, cheating and deceiving.
He should do the work required of him in a proper manner, without cheating in his earnings or doing anything that will lead to regret in the Hereafter.
See the answer to question no. 4651.
Secondly:
Saying that the medicine mentioned is not available in pharmacies is a dubious statement, because the basic principle is that medicine is more available in pharmacies than in doctors' clinics; the doctor may have free samples that he gets from (pharmaceutical) companies and the like.
Whatever the case, it seems to us, and we know from experience, that if you had looked more, especially in larger pharmacies, you would certainly have found the medicine that you were looking for or you would have found a suitable alternative to it. It does not seem to us that there is any concession concerning what you are asking about, especially as it is not a case of necessity. So it is not permissible to hasten to tell lies or resort to deceit and tricks when there is no case of necessity and no pressure to do so.
Even if we assume that there is no alternative for this medicine, and that it is only available from this doctor (which cannot be the case), either the doctor should sell it with an invoice, or you can talk to your superiors at work so that they can find out the facts about the matter.
Thirdly:
If children have half of their medical costs covered, as you say, then it is not permissible for them to submit papers showing anything but the true facts. If on this occasion you did not pay any of the costs for this consultation, then you do not have the right to ask the administration at work for anything.
If you did pay for it, then you have the right to ask for what you are allowed to, according to the conditions stipulated by your father's work, but that is on condition that the papers you submit are truthful and are not made up.
