Salaah

Q: My mother does not want me to go to the Masjid for Maghrib and Esha Salaah. Though we only live 15-20 minutes from the nearest Masjid, our house is in a somewhat isolated area. So my mother fears me being hijacked or something similar. Hijackings etc. are common at these times and in our area, so the fear of my mother is valid. However, I do not feel it is so dire. But I could be wrong. Though I also want to perform all my Salaah in the Masjid Insha-Allah. Please advise if I have to follow this command of my mother and thus perform Maghrib and Isha Salaah at home?

Q: What is the difference in the way of offering of Sunnat-e-Muaqqadah and Sunnat Ghair Muaqqadah Salaah?

Q: Should we recite any Surah after Surah Faatiha in the 3rd and 4th rakaat of Sunnat Ghair Muaqqadah, Sunnat Muaqqadah and Farz Salaah?

Q: Is the salah valid if during the final sitting in salah I repeated the durood ebrahim from the beginning despite having recited more than half of it due to a mistake I thought I made during my recitation of the first part of the durood?

Q:

1) If you pull up your pants to ensure that it remains above your ankles before going down for rukhu or sajda, does it break your salaat?

2) If your pants falls below your ankles while reading salaat, does it break your salaat?

3) If you perform salaat with your pants below the ankles, is your salaat valid?

4) what type of movements nullify salaat?

Q: As far as I am aware, speaking intentionally or unintentionally will nullify the salaah and it will have to be re-prayed again according to the hanafi maddhab (although, if I am incorrect in my understanding then please correct me jazak Allah khayr). The question I would like to ask is that say for example, if I recite اَللَّهُمَّ رَ‌بَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَ‌ةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ‌ and in my heart I say Aameen but my tongue may move slightly unintentionally, however there is no sound of any letters coming out, can that be classed as speaking in Salaah?

Q: When we say the Kalimah Laa Ilaha ILLAllah Muhammadur Rasulullah, then can we also say La Ilaha ILLAllah Muhammadun Rasulullah? With the nūn? Because in my local masjid there used to be a muezzin who used to say Ashadu Anna Muhammadun Rasulullah or Muhammadan Rasulullah, and the Imam said he was wrong and it should be said as Muhammadur Rasulullah.

Q: Are hanafi ladies supposed to cover the area between the throat and chin which normally remains exposed with a normal burqa? Normally some people have a double chin in that area. The Malaysian and Thailand girls of our Madrassah who were shafi'i would wear a special burqa to cover that part.

Q: I have an aged grandmother who has been diagnosed with alzheimer's disease. Unfortunately, her condition has deteriorated to such an extent that she forgets many things. Her salaah is one of the things that she is constantly confused about. She performs Salaah at incorrect times, says she read it when she hadn't read it and mixes up the salaahs. She also forgets to perform wudhu, sometimes performs it incorrectly, and at time makes tayamum. We try to correct her and guide her, but sometimes it is impossible. What is the correct ruling in this regard?

Q: If I carry out my fard salaah and later after the time where the salaah is valid, find out that I did an action that would have invalidated the salaah, is it sufficient for me to not repeat that mistake in all future prayers or must I make up the salaahs that I unknowingly carried out the mistake in?
