These eight original questions practise the skills from the Fiqh learning support lessons. Write your own answer before opening each one.
Each answer shows one acceptable approach. Wording for technical terms should follow your prescribed textbook.
Questions
Question 1. List the required (fardu) steps of wuduk in order, as a numbered list.
Answer
Niat, wash the face, wash both arms to the elbows, wipe part of the head, wash both feet to the ankles, and keep to this order (tertib). Credit goes to the correct steps in the correct order. If your textbook lists them with different wording, use the book’s terms.
Question 2. Give one example of a recommended (sunat) act in wuduk and explain why it is not in the required list.
Answer
An example is gargling the mouth (berkumur). It is recommended because it adds to the act but wuduk is still valid in the textbook’s required list without it. A full answer states the act and then gives the reason.
Question 3. State the difference between syarat and rukun using solat as your example.
Answer
Syarat is a condition that must be met before or during the act but is not a part of it, for example covering the aurat. Rukun is a part inside the act itself, for example rukuk. A strong answer gives the meaning of each and one example for each.
Question 4. A student writes: “The rukun of solat include covering the aurat and facing the qiblat.” Identify the error.
Answer
Covering the aurat and facing the qiblat are conditions (syarat), not parts of the act (rukun). The student has placed conditions in the list of elements. Correct it by moving both items to a syarat list and naming a real rukun such as takbiratul ihram.
Question 5. Arrange these in order for a sequence answer: state the finished state, state the condition, list the steps. Explain why.
Answer
Condition, steps, finished state. The condition says what must be true before starting, the steps give the action in order, and the finished state closes the answer. This order matches how the process happens and is easy for a marker to credit.
Question 6. Sofea writes five required steps of a process but adds two recommended steps inside the same numbered list. Advise her how to restructure the answer.
Answer
Keep the numbered list for required steps only. Add a separate line headed “Recommended acts” for the other two. This lets the marker credit the required sequence without confusing the two kinds of step.
Question 7. A scenario says a student is about to begin a required act but cannot find the stated condition. What kind of question is this, and how should you answer in an exam?
Answer
It is a scenario question on a condition. Name the condition, state what the textbook says when it is missing, and apply that stated rule to the facts. Stay with the textbook’s wording. A personal situation outside the syllabus goes to a qualified teacher.
Question 8. A friend asks you to decide whether a real personal situation of his is permitted. How should you respond and why is this separate from exam answers?
Answer
Suggest he asks a qualified teacher or the religious authority, because personal rulings need knowledge of the full situation and the scholarly method. Exam answers apply the syllabus to a stated case. The two tasks are different.
If you got these wrong
If Questions 1, 2 or 5 went wrong, revisit sequencing a syllabus process in order. If Questions 3 or 4 were the gap, read distinguishing conditions, elements and examples.
For Questions 7 and 8, use applying curriculum principles to a stated scenario and directing personal rulings to qualified authorities. To have a teacher read your answers, see online one-to-one Pendidikan Islam tuition.
