Yes.

Bismihi ta'ala

It is highly recommended for both men and women to recite Adhan and Iqamah, especially if they are praying on their own, and not in jama'ah.

Of course, the difference is that a female should recite in a low voice in the presence of a non-mahram. As for performing jama'ah prayers, of course a female can do loud Adhan and a female can lead jama'ah prayers if they are all women.

And Allah knows best

Home . Incense

Is there any Islamic basis to burn incense in a home?

We don't have any authentic evidence instructing or suggesting to burn incense at home or near graves etc, but we have authentic Hadeeths encouraging using perfume. Some perfumes are mixed with incense hence incense is been burnt in some cultures to get the perfume out of it.

Etiquette . Home . Health . Ziyarat Ashura

What is the etiquette and method to perform Ziyarat Ashura at home in order to solve a problem or get cured from diseases?

Ziyarat Ashura is one of greatest recitations narrated from Ahlul Bayt (AS). It was narrated through authentic chain of narrators from Imam Muhammad Al-Baqir (AS). It has great benefits in solving problems and getting us peaceful and successful life here and hereafter. Many of our great scholars, including Grand Ayatullah Na'eeni, the teacher of Ayatullah Khoei, said that its benefits are more than any other recitation which he knows.

We have authentic narrations that Imam Al-Mahdi (AS) advised sincere believers not to miss Ziyarat Ashura nor Night Prayer nor Ziyarat Al-Jami'ah.

Ziyarat Ashura does not need a special method to be performed. It is recommended to perform Wudhu, face the direction of Karbala and recite it.

It is very useful to gift the reward of it to the Infallible Ahlul Bayt and your parents and relatives and all the Mo'mineen and Mo'minaat who are alive or deceased. This will make your reward much greater.

Home . Dog

As dogs aren't allowed to be kept at home, why are we allowed to use them for hunting?

Bismihi ta'ala

In Islam, the two animals pig and dog are najis. There is no exemption for pig, but in regards to dog, one is able to own a dog if it is used for hunting, a Sheppard dog, or for security. In any of these cases, the dog is still najis and related ahkam stay relevant to it. One can keep a dog, but must observe all aspects of taharah/najasah regarding it.

Home . Du'a (Supplication)

Are there any certain Duas that can recited to bless a home or to protect it?

There are many Du'as and Quranic verses for blessing the home after insuring that the home is not a place of committing sinful acts, e.g. Ayatul Kursi , Sura Al-Hamd, Sura Falaq and Sura Naas etc. it is very useful to recite Quran or play Quranic recitation at home as well as Majlis of Ahlul Bayt (AS). A Hadeeth states: The most liked homes to Allah is the home where an orphan lives with honor.

Homes in which Night Prayer is performed lights for the angles of the sky like the stars which light for people of earth.

Home . Dog

I have sheep in my home and I now wish to keep a dog for guarding them. What are the conditions for keeping such a guard dog?

Bismihi ta'ala

You would be allowed to have a shepherd dog or a guard dog, and it will be very useful to do so. Keep in mind that a dog is still externally najis, and you must still treat it as such. For example, if the dog is wet, and it touches you, or you touch it, or it licks you, or its hair gets onto you, etc, then you will need to purify yourself.

It would also be important for you not to allow the dog inside your house, or in areas you need to keep tahir, and so on.

And Allah knows best.
