"فرائض" refers to the obligatory acts in Islam that are essential for every Muslim to perform. These acts are derived from the teachings of the Quran and the Hadith, and they form the foundation of a Muslim's faith and practice. The five pillars of Islam, including Salah (prayer) and Zakat (charity), are considered part of these obligatory acts. In addition to the five pillars, there are other religious duties that fall under "فرائض," such as fasting during the month of Ramadan and performing the Hajj pilgrimage if financially and physically able. Fulfilling these obligations is crucial for spiritual growth and maintaining a strong connection with Allah.
