Performing nafl salaah if one has qadha salaahs
Q: If a woman has qadha salaah, is she allowed to read nafl salaahs (chast/awwabeen, etc.) and is she allowed to read the sunnah salahs (sunnah of Asr, etc.) or must she first complete her qadha?
Nawaafil
Performing nafl salaah hastily if one has limited time
Q: A person is in the habit of reading nafl salaahs. If that person has limited time (e.g. he is running late) should he hastily read his nawaafil (though the namaaz is done) or should he leave it out?
Making niyyat of four rakaats and making salaam after two rakaats
Q: If a person commences performing four rakaats sunnat ghair muakkadah, before Asr or Esha, but due to the jamaat salaah starting, he only performs two rakaats instead of four, then will he need to perform these four rakaats later on after the jamaat? (The reason I am asking is that I have read that once we start salaah, even a nafl salaah, it becomes waajib to complete it.)
Reciting aloud in nafl salaah
Q:
1. Regarding any nafl salaah, I would like to know if it is permissible to read the qiraat aloud, for purposes of dhor?
2. If it is, should one perform the salaah as though leading a jamaat, i.e. say takbeer for postures aloud, etc.
3. Do the same rules above apply for qadha salaah as well?
4. What are the rules for performing nafl salaah in jamaat, e.g. with one's spouse or household?
Reciting thana in the third rakaat of a nafl salaah
Q: If a person prays 4 rakaats nafl with one salam, do you have to recite thana in the 3rd rakaat?
Intention of different nafl salaah when performing one nafl salaah
Q: I came to know by one of the dawat-o-tabligh elders that we can make intention of many different namazes (e.g: if we are praying ishraq then we can make intention of tahiyaatul wudhu, tahiyyatul masjid, salaatul hajat, salaatul taubah, etc.)
1. Is it true?
2. How many total extra niyyats can we make for a two rakat nafil?
3. Can we do the same for zohar, maghrib and isha nafl prayers?
Making dua in sajdah in nafl salaah
Q: In nafl salaah, can I read Quraanic duas in sajdah?
Performing shukar salaah few times a day
Q: Regarding Shukar Salaah, I read 2 rakaat to thank Allah for all that he has given me, I'm content with all that I have, but I tend to read it 3-4 times a day. Will reading it once a day be sufficient? It's more like OCD, where as if I don't read it, I might lose what I have. So will reading it once a day be fine?
Performing nafl salaah before the fardh salaah
Q: Can one pray nafl salah after having prayed sunnah salah if time permits before the jamaat for the fardh salah starts?
Performing Salaatush Shukr
